[QUOTE="MostlyHarmless42, post: 9612998, member: 6845520"] I'll admit I've been sleeping on Shadowdark. As someone who is genuinely interested but put off by the name, the art style, and given that most of the people I've seen who've talking tending to fall into a single category of discontented grognards type players (again no shade intended, it's a valid playstyle justnot for me), and someone who HATES dark edgy angst fests and 1e/2e gritty meat grinder dungeon focused campaigns (or medieval simulators), as well as both of those specific mechanical rulesets, is Shadowdark still worth checking out? I'm genuinely looking for a potential alternative to Dnd 2024, but I find both versions of pathfinder to be too fiddly with rules, DC20 just seems to be like two decades away from actually being playable/released, I hate card games (so no daggerheart), and my players won't play anything that isn't fantasy (so no call of cthulhu or traveler). To couple that with I actually like the 2024 ruleset (just hate the company) and I've been struggling to find an alternative. [/QUOTE]
