Shadowdark Shadowdark Discussion Thread [+]

I'll be running @SlyFlourish 's one-session Castle Ravenloft game for my son's birthday next week.

Pretty excited; been planning this for a long time.

I want to keep things fast and loose as the players explore the castle, so the turn-based Shadowdark structure works fine. Most of the time it will be theatre of the mind, but will be using my Darkest Dungeon board game minis and tiles for running combat set pieces.

Thanks to @Fenris-77 's book "Shadows of Empire" I've even got some handy black powder firearms rules for the Musketeer and Highwayman.

That sounds really fun! Can you maybe post a short report about how it went, what worked well and so on?
I have Mikes go at Ravenloft on my bucket list, and recently have purchased Shadows of Empire as well. And Darkest Dungeon is a huge influence on the vibe I am going after frequently.
So, to sum it up, would really love to see how it goes!
