Greetings!

Yeah, I run two different game groups using Shadwdark. Shadowdark is an excellent system, easy to grasp and play, very intuitive. Smooth mechanics and game-play. Character building takes just a few minutes, and done. DMing the game, likewise is a real joy. The basic system has everything neatly layed out, very well organized, and accessible. Making dungeons, adventures, monster lairs, new NPC's, all of it, is a snap with Shadowdark. The magic system, the spells, likewise are all easy, and to the point. The game system embraces a style of play within a campaign that is quick, simple, brutal, and fun!

I have found that Shadowdark is an excellent game system, and very much OSR. I highly recommend Shadowdark to anyone.

Semper Fidelis,

Just curious if you're running anything else right now too? or just the two shadowdark groups?

Greetings!

Hey there, Banjo Destructo! Well, besides the two different Shadowdark games that I run, I have a third group that I play D&D 5E with at my local game store. In the game store group, I typically just play, and only occasionally DM.

Semper Fidelis,

I've run about a dozen sessions with Shadowdark at conventions and with my local group.  I've had die hard 1E/0E players and 5E newfish, everyone has picked up how Shadowdark works with very little difficulty and has enjoyed their time playing with these rules.

Shadowdark is PERFECT for convention play as no matter your skills from Newbie to Grognard it's fairly simple to understand how things work and how to have a good time rolling dice.
