Thank you for this video. So many play throughs these days get too bogged down in people trying to be voice actors and general side conversations. It’s a breath of fresh air to get a play through the just gets straight to point.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! We had a blast playing this one. Look for part 2 this weekend.

@ellery0909 Год назад

Seconded. I haven't finished a live play before this one in maybe 10 years

@d20play Год назад

Thank you!

@ianfrazier9896 6 месяцев назад

Agreed, this is such a buttery smooth session. Great stuff!

@williamobraidislee3433 Год назад

This is one of the most “clean” play throughs. Great GM to be sure but I appreciate how they players play instead of slowing things down.

Thanks! Yes, had some great players in this one!

@CoreySwordGuy 10 месяцев назад

Suuuuuper clean. Nice!

@RyanWBL Месяц назад

Kudos to you starting right off the bat. So refreshing to hear you get going versus hearing everyone talk about themselves for 30 minutes before the session even starts

@d20play Месяц назад

We aim to please!

@soloramblings Год назад

I pulled up a chair eager to see a solid Shadowdark session and you folks delivered. I started playing D&D around 1977 and this took me back to that era of play. The groups analysis of the game and events was also enjoyable. Thanks for the pleasant stay. Hope to see some more Shadowdark from y'all.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you. I plan to run and share more!

@JoeVaughan-ib3cj Год назад

As someone just getting back into the hobby after 30 years this hits ALL the buttons. And as a new DM your style is such a great model to help temper the influence of Mercer et al. Another commenter used the word ‘efficient’ and that’s my biggest takeaway. Thanks! I learned a lot

@d20play Год назад

Thank you Joe! I agree, ShadowDark does hit all the buttons!

@alantarreuel3813 Год назад

Solid play. Great old-school DMing (procedures, turn taking, etc.) combined with a good narrative and descriptions. Subscribed.

@d20play Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@BradDaeda Год назад

Thanks for posting this session! It was informative as well as fun to watch. You're a very efficient and skillful DM.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you!

@TTubbs42 Год назад

I came looking to see Shadowdark in action. Being new to OSR stuff, I've also been looking and asking for something I can watch to see the stuff (10' pole, role, pitons, etc) that I keep reading about being so important in OSR (or at least doesn't come up in my 5e games). And this has use of rope, grappling hooks and spikes/pitons happening at the game table. Thanks for this.

@d20play Год назад

I know, right!? Credit to the players. They came up with many creative solutions in this part and part 2!

@windmark8040 Год назад

1:24:00 I had my doubts, but the "real-time" torch mechanic seems really fun! (And it seems much easier to track) Great job, everyone!

@d20play Год назад

Thanks! The time pressure of light and wandering monsters is great!

Holy crap, how did you guys achieve such efficient and fast style of play. I've never listened or watched a playthrough past the 10 minute mark, but this type of play is so easy to listen to. It's like my dream session 😅 Great job giys!

@d20play Год назад

Wow! Thank you for the great complement! I have to confess that I do auto-edit out some of the silence. And, the adventure is so good it makes us look good!

@Kunstdesfechtens Год назад

Outstanding play from all involved, GM and players alike. It really highlights the clean game design and the fast-paced play it generates. Well done!

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! I really love the design of ShadowDark!

@ldl1477 Год назад

This looked fun. In the time it takes my group to get over their RPing phase, you guys ran a whole dungeon. I liked the slim mechanics; it looks really good for "bolting on" homebrew. The light rules both keep the party moving and under tension. Inventory is elegant, requiring players to consider tradeoffs. XP system rewards talking over just stabbing/burning/exploding everything that moves. I've played a few games of of the new HeroQuest, in between 5e sessions, and this looks like the sweet spot between both.

@d20play Год назад

Thanks! I am really liking it (obviously).

@paintmattpaint8487 Год назад

Excellent play through, I really enjoyed the consideration of each player and the DM. Very clear as to what was going on and an enjoyable dungeon crawl.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you!

@Daniel40freeman Год назад

Hey, thanks for this post! Not only did I get to see some awesome play mechanics but also some roll20 techniques that I am not using correctly. I miss the real danger for characters (as a DM and as a player).

@d20play Год назад

You're welcome! Agreed!

@patrickk8018 Месяц назад

Just ran this for my friends last night. Such a fun and fast game. They both died in the second room but we had fun haha

@d20play Месяц назад

Hahaha, sounds like ShadowDark!

@anselmoffrisia2930 Год назад

It's got some tense situations. I've never played on this VTT, but not knowing what the players can see and wondering why they are going certain ways away from each other can really ramp up the tension. I'm just waiting for it all to go really badly. This looks like a lot of fun!

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! ShadowDark is great fun!

@nyctartuffe Год назад

Very disciplined refereeing and playing! I really enjoy the turn-based approach, even for exploring. In BX/ OSE (which is to be somewhat turn-based) never quite works RAW. I run OSE games for kids (9-12) and I like it a lot, but this video makes me excited to try Shadowdark with them. I think it will impose better structure. Anyway, great job.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! And, good luck with the game with the kids!

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! It is very elegant.

@imjoshellis Год назад

I wasn't sure how to feel about always-on initiative, but it's definitely grown on me -- traps and exploration seem to flow a lot better

@d20play Год назад

I'm on the fence too, but it works well in the heavy dungeon crawls!

@NickBurnham1 9 месяцев назад

Hi there, love the gameplay, thank you for the great playthrough. Did you have to create all the ShadowDark macros and character sheets in Roll20 yourself or are there extensions available for that? I am planning on running this myself soon.

@d20play 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes I did. Here is a video on how I do that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mRde6-kJfm4.html

Very important.

@ArtemAbramov Год назад

How did Fastfeet figured out the coin and the vase at 30:10?! That was unexpected!

@d20play Год назад

Good question!

@Kevlar-78 Год назад

I was wondering how the “real time” torches / light would play out and it seems like it works pretty well. Kinda forces the players to keep it moving ? How would you rule ancillary things that “stop the clock” like questions / rules bites / GM exposition or whatever? It almost seems like a “play time hourglass” that you click on and off like a chess match timer would work well ?

@d20play Год назад

It did work great. I would generally keep the clock running except for significant things like taking a 10-15 minute table break or such.

@gameram6382 13 дней назад

Brilliant gents

@d20play 12 дней назад

@ChuckBarchuk Год назад

Excellent session of Shadowdark. Had a few questions though. Can Ettercaps use both their poison web and bite attack on their turn? And also does poison web do damage on the initial hit?

@d20play Год назад

Thanks for the catch! I got a number of things wrong on them. Looks like ettercaps bite twice OR use web. Also, not sure if the damage is on the hit and on the subsequent ettercap turns or on the players turns after being hit.

@ChuckBarchuk Год назад

@@d20play Oh no problem. I wasn't sure either. But I did get an answer from Kelsey on discord about this. The poison web would cause damage on impact. The additional damage would take effect on the Ettercap's subsequent turns.

@dking6021 2 месяца назад

were you rolling wandering monster checks using something other then roll 20?

@d20play 2 месяца назад

I think I was doing them in-game but doing a 1 in 20 every round rather than 1 in 6 every 3 rounds.

@slashdash846 Год назад

Great play! Can you share how did you adjust that map to roll 20? Original grid of that drawing is very inaccurate

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! I used photoshop to morph the map to be closer to matching a grid. Edit>Free Transform>Warp Mode. I think GIMP has a similar tool.

@Matthew.thirtyseven Год назад

I feel like the always on initiative was sort of disorienting, and ended up spreading out the party a lot. Did you like it?

@d20play Год назад

I did, but with tempering (which I may not have done enough of).

@davidpencil3576 Год назад

Remember that the rules allow for "consolidation" where if all the party wants to do is move for that round they can all move together in formation.

@Michigan1B22 Год назад

Great session! Did I miss any random encounters? It didn't seem like any rolls were made for any

@d20play Год назад

we rolled each round for random with a 1 in 12 chance (rather than every other round at 1 in 6). But there was a long time before the first one!

@Michigan1B22 Год назад

@@d20play interesting! What inspired you to change things up?

@d20play Год назад

I thought it would be easier for me to remember to roll every round rather than every other round. And by making the chance 1 in 12, the odds would be the same.

@Michigan1B22 Год назад

@@d20play oooh very smart! I'm gonna steal that for my game lol At the end you talk about how the fighter, cleric, and Thief level up and get an extra dice for backstab. I have the quick start and see the talent tables upgrade each class that way, did you mean the talent table? Or am I missing something else?

@cristianstabile3511 4 месяца назад

I also use 1d6 / 1d12 / 1d20 every round instead of 1d6 every 1/2/3 rounds for random encounters =) (yeah, it should be 1d18, but i don't have those and 5% vs 5,5% is not noticeable). Am I mistaken, or once you get a random encounter you should stop rolling for further random encounters until you resolve that one?

@jts8053 Год назад

@d20play Год назад

@jts8053 Год назад

@@d20play I was thinking of starting a Roll20 support thread on the Discord since everyone seems so focused on Foundry. I wish I had more coding skills. Then I'd just make one!

@Champion_14 Год назад

You run the whole game in initiative???

@d20play Год назад

I did! I don't normally, but it was suggested by the system so I tried it. I think it went well! Note, however, that I (as the system suggests) moved it along a little free-form at times.

@rontalkstabletop Год назад

How long was the actual session? 3 hours?

Yes, just over 3 hours. Each time new torches are lit is about a 1 hour mark.

@BobHerzog1962 Год назад

I think allowing ready actions and reaction attacks goes against the system. The whole point is to streamline the whole action economy thing and get rid of players doing stuff outside their turn. Treassure gives XP when you take it. You can throw it way afterwards without consequence. The Grappleinghook in the lake was a good idea, but giving everyone something was a bit much. But OK we haven't seen what you would have done had they tried to fish it empty. I think you made it to easy for them when their Lights actually went out in the Sacrifice Cave. The shadows flicker in the whole room and should have attacked. It is also an area where you should have played up the darkness fighting the light. As example any light source thrown to the ground should have gone out instantly in there. Also important when you leave the dungeon you still can get xp by carouseing.

@bencoulthard6009 Год назад

Excellent DM but i have to say that i think the concept of constant initiative sucks. It causes two things which are evident in this playthrough, 1) a lack of cohesion and discussion in the group because constant turn taking promotes individual not group play and 2) it creates a rather monotonous and rushed session with players seeming like they are on the clock. Old school gaming doesnt have to be played like its turn based pc game. Characters can have personalities and discuss stuff. Other than fighting and door opening, what else did the group do in this dull dungeon? Also xp for just treasure makes no sense. Shadowdark should award xp for reaching goals and defeating key npcs. If its just xp for treasure and constant turn taking then its no different than a board game like Munchkin or Talisman. I want to love Shadowdark but surely we can be more ambitious with the rules than they are currently.

@d20play Год назад

Thank you! And agreed on many counts. I was experimenting with more in-init play than I normally use. The system does not require that, so don't hold that against the system.

@steelmongoose4956 Год назад

Considering the old-school dungeon crawl theme, I think grabbing treasure *is* the narrative goal. 😄
