I've heard it described that way, but I'm curious to hear what others think.  I'm trying to better understand what makes SD a different experience from what WotC is currently putting out (and from other OSR games).•How difficult is it to add some complexity back in in areas where I want more detail?  While I appreciate streamlined rules, there are some areas of gaming where I like more detail.Things that I'm pretty sure that I haven't asked about before:•I recently supported Titanbound on Backerkit.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/torchlight-creative/titanbound[/URL] While I do not currently play SD, the concept seemed cool (such as the giant dice) and things included (like maps for climbing onto kaiju-like creatures) seemed as though they may be useful even when playing other games. For you personally, what do you feel has been the most useful SD product that you own?•I also recently learned that one of the local gaming stores has a group running Shadowdark. I know some of the folks in that group. What's something that you feel someone playing SD for the first time should be aware of? ...any misconceptions that may be born from a D&D mindset that may not translate into SD?</blockquote>
