My d&d group tried daggerheart for a few sessions. It felt very incomplete. We have discussed trying draw steel, but I could not get everyone to commit.

I absolutely love Shadowdark. I just can't find anyone to play it with. Fantastic game, though.

What felt incomplete about it to you?

Shadowdark has very appealing features

  • real-time torches
  • simple ancestry
  • 2 page classes
  • limited carrying capacity
  • shorten stat block
  • high risk high reward casting system
  • loot based xp system
  • large font

It's a nice refreshing meal of OSR while still holding a 5E blankey.

I totally agree, and apparently so do a lot of people. :)
