Level 6 to 8 does seem like that might be quite optimistic to reach in Shadow Dark.

From the rules, it looks like death is practically instantaneous.

But, yeah, I'm not against that.

So, yeah.

Interesting stuff.

A bit more chunky, so they can take a bit more of a beating.

Yeah.

What's attracting you to Shadow Dark to make you want to play on it?

We did a really good, well, perhaps it's in the archives of our podcast.

We actually spoke to the creator and I gushed shamelessly at them.

And we'll do it again.

Yes.

Because I really enjoyed the design, which is very modern in its aesthetic, but has a OSR layer on top to make it look like it's a very old school.

When, in fact, I think it's thoroughly modern in its design sensibilities.

um what i would say is something i've been toying with is shadow dark but the dark places that you're going into are similar to the upside down from stranger things oh that's a nice parallel yeah i'm not no spoilers i've not caught up on the latest season yeah oh i just refer to like the first three yeah yeah no no no yeah i know but just just in advance

But like you're adventurers, but essentially you're going to a parallel world, parallel dimension and doing things.

And for me, that answers a lot of questions and avoids a lot of what I might call, for my generation, typical tactics.

For instance, you're told, oh, there's monsters in that mine.

They keep coming out and annoying the place.

Like, all right.
