Shadowdark, the system, recently received over one million dollars in pledges on Kickstarter! It seamlessly combines old-school principles with modern techniques, crafting a game that oozes a nostalgic feel. This game welcomes players of all levels of experience; with its streamlined ruleset and clear formatting, even the most green beginner will have confidence in their understanding within a session or two. And don’t worry, I am always more than happy to remind or clarify!
