Hey friends, it's your pal Mike Shea from Sly Flourish. Today, we are going to talk about the end of my Shadow Dark Gloaming campaign. For about the last year, over about 47, 46 or 47 sessions, something like that, I have run a long campaign using the Shadow Dark RPG produced by Kelsey Dion over at Arcane Library using the Gloaming, which is a setting from Cursed Scroll 1, one of the three cursed scrolls that exist for Shadow Dark that are sort of like mini zines that include new character options and new monsters and, more importantly for me, a new mini setting to use. So today, we're going to dive into what the last session of my game was like and talk about the campaign itself. In another video, I'm going to talk about my one-year experience as having run Shadow Dark RPG itself. So this video, we're going to talk about the campaign itself. We're going to talk about the gloaming.
We're going to talk about how that whole campaign sort of came about and evolved over time. And then in another video, if you are interested in specifically, hey, what did I learn? What are my experiences having run the Shadow Dark RPG for basically an entire year? I'm going to put that together in a separate video. This show, like all of the work of Sly Flourish, is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish. Patrons get access to all kinds of tips, tools, tricks, campaign books, adventures, and other things to help them run their tabletop role-playing games. They also have access to the awesome Sly Flourish lazy DM community over on Discord. And they help me put on shows like this. To the patrons of Sly Flourish, thank you so much for your support. It's done! Our campaign is over, and miraculously, I managed to get all six players to the table for our final game. It took some work. I don't normally have to do a lot of scheduling for my games because I generally will run with whoever happens to be there up to about three players. So we have six regular players.
I don't actually have any. I often talk about the six plus two. You have six regular players and two on-call players. I don't actually have any on-call players for my Sunday game. But that's mostly because the six players are very consistent. It's very rare when we're not able to make it. If it was more rare, if more people weren't going to be there, I would probably add a couple of on-call players. But I haven't gotten around to it. And now we have completed it. So... But for the finale, I wanted to try to get as many people there as I could. And I, you know, times are hard with getting everybody to the table. So I set up like a big Google calendar thing. And it looked like for a while there that in two months we weren't going to get everybody there. And I was like, well, then we're going with whoever we can get. Sorry, somebody's going to miss out. And I wanted to reach out to the people that weren't going to be there and say, hey, I know this kind of sucks. You know, are you OK if we don't have it there?
And then what they did, it said, you know what, I'll change my schedule around. So I had two people that changed their schedules around in order to be able to make it for our final game. And so therefore, huzzah, we were able to get all six players to the game and had our finale for the Shadow Dark Gloaming campaign. So I'm going to take a look. We're going to talk about the final session and what happened. And then we're going to kind of stretch back and talk a bit about the campaign itself and how it evolved and things that occurred and all that sort of stuff. So it's going to be kind of a fun retrospective look at it. So we had all six players. And actually, we'll go back to the actual characters here.
And the final six characters were Dazdar, Caelum, Uralt, Squee, Scroin, and Hera. Those were the six characters who made it. Nobody died in the final session of the game, which was good. And actually, they had kind of an easy time with it. And that'll be something that I talk about when I talk about my Shadow Dark retrospective. We're going to talk about, like...
