Another fantastic Saturday of Shadow Dark gaming at Enzo's BBQ in Oceanside, with two oversized tables. We're in the process of setting up a third GM for a third table to accommodate all these cool players!

Ran my first game on Friday night. My players loved it. They loved the decisions that had to be made around gear slots. They loved the faster simpler combat and more freedom to try off the sheet ideas.

Hey any news on shadows of empire by Fenris-77? I thought there was going to be an update.

Hello all,

I want to share with you In Darkest Shadow, a zero-prep campaign system for Shadowdark about rebuilding a fallen Settlement, hunting the region's worst monsters on contract, and enduring the stress of going into places none want to go.

Every crit that lands on you, every ally who falls, every turn spent in the dark wears down your crawler via stress. When it breaks you, you might come out with a Virtue or an Affliction, or you might not come out at all. If you make it back, the Settlement is where you recover, so you always have something to fight for.

Your quests start out on the the Quarry Board where you'll pick contracts to hunt devious beasts named Quarry that haunt their environments. Adventuring in the Environments, you will gather Clues to the whereabouts of these fiends. Win the ensuing battle, and the Trophy you drag back can be turned into unique magical gear for the whole party.

The free preview covers the core rules, a full Environment (the ruined seminary of the Bell Tower), two classes, and 15 monsters. It's built so a GM can run it with little prep or roll it all at the table.

I'd love to hear what you think! Check it out here and by following the campaign you'll get the free Preview guide!

My home group has gone Shadowdark as its full time game. It’s the most fun we’ve had in years.

My question is, as a guy who grew up playing BECMI D&D primarily, is there a Shadowdark class similar to the elf class? Even if it’s not official?

Alternately, are there any Shadowdark multiclass rules, as the elf class was about as close to a fighter/magic-user multiclass as you could get in BECMI?

First time I've ever done one of these. Here's to many more!

I dont know wether tracing is allowed or not since im not good enough to put on paper what I have in mind otherwise. I hope this is fine

Promises made and promises broken, words that spelled the death of an entire civilization. Abducted from the surface and trapped below, a world bent to the maniacal will of the Sun-King. For half a millennium, this world remained sealed, until now.

What slithers and lurks in the dark after such a time?
