OSR Let's make Shadowdark classes!

What I was referring to is that the only initiative roll that matters is the highest one, since the order then just goes clockwise around the table. So it has (mostly) the same result as just giving the bonus to one player of your choice.

(Mostly, but not exactly. There are very gamist circumstances in which giving the bonus, if it's large enough, to a player of your choice is better than giving it to everybody.)
You are right. I'm thinking to handle this by giving the initiative to all party members. Shadowdark is so oldschool it doesn't think about virtual tabletops, so giving the initiative bonus to all party members means the party will benefit no matter who's sitting where. I think.)

Gish

Weapons
: Bastard sword, greataxe, longsword, shortsword
After the livestream, I went back and edited the gish's available weapons, restricting them to the most thematic ones (Russ Nicholson and Frazetta have the final word here) and explicitly excluding the greatsword, per Kelsey's argument that the greatsword is a class feature of the fighter class, which I found made a lot of sense.
