For them, wanting to do all sorts of games using the Shadowdark system makes a lot of sense. They may not even be aware that there are other modern games out there that tackle the same subject matter. (I would probably just go with Outgunned over making a modern action game out of Shadowdark, myself.)But I just want Shadowdark to run darker, weirder, more dangerous OSR fantasy games, so I'm not interested in most of that.That said, an influx of new/returning gamers coming to Shadowdark and using it to build new stuff is likely going to bring in some different approaches to the current game development scene, which is exciting and fun.</blockquote>
