Shadowdark is a bridge between modern mechanics and old school play. It’s fast, dangerous, and a ton of fun.

It takes the modern 5e bones and puts a skin of OSR on it, IMO I think its a great mix

@DMTalesTTRPG 2 месяца назад
Add OSR muscle too and I’m totally in agreement :-) And is really is a great mix! Such a fun game.

Thanks for the video! My favorite magic system has to be Shadowrun. You roll for drain, then you roll for damage, either on youself or your opponent. And you can cast any spell at any time as much as you want. Let's face it, if the spell wipes itself from your mind when it's cast, you'd be a vegetable by the time you got to third level.

If you don’t love it, I’ll be shocked. I think we need to do a series of actual play adventures maybe do themes. Start with fantasy: ShadowDark, Dragonbane, Cypher System, Savage Worlds, Fantasy Age, Adventurous…that would be fun!

it's unfortunate that there was a confusion/naming flamewar on this game in a lot of old-school circles. I even read it at the time without context and thought it was some mediocre hack style game it sure made a lot more sense that it was intended more towards newer players for that gameplay style, explains the bigger focus on common older mechanics at times on a re-read the mix of mechanics is way smoother than I thought. turning spell slots into a simili-usage dice is weird in the good way, characters progression system is funky and the tons of content roll lists scream easy dm prep, I can definitely see why it managed its success
@DMTalesTTRPG
@DMTalesTTRPG 2 месяца назад
VERY unfortunate. I still see people questioning is Kelsey is “really” one of “us” and calling the game a hack. It’s absurd, especially since the game is terrific and Kelsey learned to play in physical orbit of TSR. She’s also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

As a grognard older than yourself, I bounced off Shadowdark pretty hard when I first read and played it, but I still very much appreciated the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of this review, which is consistent with all of the excellent work you do on this channel. -Chris AKA Li’l C

This has been on my list for a while since I missed the Kickstarter. It feels a little steep for a RPG book like that. Would like to see a cheaper price. Especially since the majority of the magic type stuff comes from DCC (which I picked up a rulebook at their CON SPECIAL RATE of $15). Ultimately I know I will buy it (and everything shadowdark) because I love the theme. Great review, please keep them coming!!!!!

Shadowdark and dragonbane or both nice games. They do what their supposed to. But I just can´t understand the hype. Nothing unseen. Black-Sword-Hack for example is much more remarkable and fun in my view, and I finally played electric bastionland and read into the odd. Love both!

Great review! Thanks for sharing. I'm really regretting that I didn't get this during the Kickstarter, but it just didn't work out for me financially at the time and, as you mentioned at the beginning, I felt I had quite a few books/games like this already that I'm not actually running but instead pulling ideas from for my B/X game I run for my daughter. Dig your t-shirt!
@DMTalesTTRPG
@DMTalesTTRPG 2 месяца назад
Thanks! It dropped at the exact right time for me, I was so happy, but there are SO MANY kickstarters I have to pass on because…funds. What have you pulled over for your daughter’s game?

@@DMTalesTTRPG Around the same time(ish) as Shadowdark, I contributed to the Knave 2 Kickstarter. Although I've never played/used Knave, Ben's was one of the first TTRPG RU-vid channels I discovered, and I wanted to support him. I know I'll use some of the tables from Knave 2 once I get the hard copy book. In the meantime, for my daughter's B/X game, in terms of "full games" (not including supplements) I've used stuff from: * Old School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy * Index Card RPG * MÖRK BORG * 5E D&D * 2E D&D * Lamentations of the Flame Princess * Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Those are the main things I can think of off the top of my head.
