Hello all! I've been wanting to run a moderate-length game of Shadowdark with a dedicated group. I'm looking for a moderate-length campaign about 12 sessions (3 months) and to determine from there if the group wants to continue or move onto something else. The game would be ran on discord and roll20. Sessions would run 2 fast and furious hours. I'm looking for players who can commit their full attention to the game in a short(ish) window. Shadowdark plays fast relative to similar fantasy TTRPGs. For those unfamiliar with Shadowdark, it harkens back to D&D 2nd edition. The rules are simpler and it is very easy to pick up (for free too!) - if you've played 5e, it's not an exaggeration to say you can learn this game in 15 minutes, even playing the wizard class. The game leans more into themes of survival horror and resource management than the heroic fantasy D&D 5e evokes - but not a boring kind! It's very streamlined in how it works. The vision I have for my game is a mega-dungeon set-up with a homebase to return to, with themes of eldritch horror and some political intrigue. The main touchstone media for this story is the anime and manga Made in Abyss. This is the main caveat about my games: *Christian values - content is kept PG-13 and violence is not gratuitous, sexual content is non-existent without compelling RP reasons well communicated to the GM, and the Christian faith and traditional beliefs are respected - players can be non-Christian. If that caveat is no issue to you, it could be a good table for you. If that caveat is attractive to you, it might be a great table for you. I'll mostly be playing by the book - which is available for free (the quick start edition, anyway) at the Arcane Library's website. With the short play time, I'll play the variant rule to have 30 minute torch-timers (probably the defining mechanic of the game). I'll use maps on the VTT and use limited lighting in such a manner that makes players have to map out the dungeon themselves. I've played a few short games like this and it was really immersive! If you're interested, please message me the following information: Your name: Your age: A bit about you: Why you're interested in the game: Tabletop RPG experience: A character concept you like that you've played or like to play: In transparency, I'll share my answers to the questions above: My name is Josh. I'm 33. I work in education and am married with four children. I'm a pretty typical nerd living in Midwestern USA - I like video games, anime, Star Wars - for my kids age, basically everyone is obsessed with Pokemon right now. Some of my favorite games are the Resident Evil franchise, anything really made by FromSoft these days, and The Legend of Zelda. I really like Resident Evil especially for reasons I don't fully grasp, but it bleeds into my TTRPG life, to where I like survival horror games the most and feel I run them the best. I want to run this game because of the survival horror elements coming more natural to Shadowdark than D&D 5th edition. I like the fast and furious play of it. It plays so smoothly and encourages more creativity because your character sheet is so barebones, you think beyond the sheet more. I want to run a game with the exploration of, say, Dark Souls, with the survival horror of Resident Evil and with story inspirations from Made in Abyss. I'm coming on 8 years of regular, weekly GMing - mostly 5th edition D&D, but I've branched out to other games the last few years. In lieu of a character concept, I'll share the positive feedback I've gotten from players: tense but rewarding scenarios, strong at integrating backstories, great horror original settings... I think the only main criticism I've received is having been, on occasion, impatient with players taking very long with their turns. Shadowdark makes it easy not to have that temptation, but I'm very amenable to feedback if someone were to tell me something I did or said rubbed them the wrong way. I'm sure I missed something in this post, but I think that's all the essential details... Please reach out if you're interested. Happy gaming!

Hey, everyone. I'm looking for a fifth player to join a Shadowdark table I started up. Its been me and four other players now for about 4 sessions. We're exploring a homebrew region I created called The Misty Vale! There is no overarching plot to the campaign, but instead I want to encourage a sandbox style campaign where the players are encouraged to explore and plunder the ruins and tombs scattered across the region. System: Shadowdark, and only the core rule book. If you're coming from 5E, think of Shadowdark as a more stream-lined system with some more lethality added to it. I'll be linking the Player's Quickstart Guide in the Discord server I set up. What tools will we be using? Owlbear Rodeo for VTT (simple drawing tools) use, and Discord for voice communication. Games will be run via Theater of the Mind, and a player will be assigned the role of mapper for the party. Other player roles will be assigned as well, such as note-taker, quartermaster, etc.  Availability: Bi-weekly sessions on Fridays at 8:30 PM. Sessions to run approximately 3 hours each. How to learn more? Check out this player's guide I've linked here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cX-89r_CNaHFl7jKAj7WLxovAPleJDx6HrFbkPT1mCg/edit?usp=drivesdk] House Rules: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X41J05bIGtezE5y2bYGZfdVwGQcgsThNA-oliqa14jg/edit?usp=drive\_link] About me/my interests: I enjoy to read, am a big fan of horror, and have been recently dipping into fantasy as well. I'm currently reading Last Arguement of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. I've DMed a few times for both DnD and Shadowdark, but want to get more experience in Shadowdark and OSR rule systems specifically as I appreciate its more rules-lite nature. Lastly, my pronouns are he/him and I am 33 years old. How to join or get started? Please fill out the form below so I can learn a little bit about yourself, and then I'll reach out to you. Hope to hear from you! Player Recruitment Form: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDAylu6LCQ9xEie0CT1YmjLIn4ki9kVD1p0z8kl8uqEVUkRg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=108973837466243593204]

Well hello there. I am looking for another player to join my upcoming Shadowdark campaign. Game is welcoming for LGBTQ+ gaymers (straights are allowed too ig lol). We have a very mature (immature) sense of humor at this table so only apply to join if your okay with adult jokes. We will start with session 0 on the 26th. All TTRPG experience levels are welcome. This campaign will be heavily focused on obtaining money to invest in your domain, to unlock more NPC's and stores that sell useful items. As the game goes on, you can grow in wealth and influence to spread your ambitions. The Hook: "Castle Fairfax, a newly renovated historic home in the countryside. Enjoy the provincial life and live like a lord. Start your own domain, and escape your station! Buy your way into the upper class for the low low price of 250 GP!" At least, that's what that petulant snake-oil salesman said. A newly renovated castle? Between the singular standing tower and holes in the walls, the word "historic" is probably the only true thing of this places marketing. To make matters worse, several other adventurers were all sold the same moldy tower, and it seems that some highwaymen are squatting in our tower. Whatever the status of my property dispute with these other adventurers, it seems we may have bigger problems. Lore Document: This is the Lore document for my homebrew setting that I use for my homebrew games. You do not need to read all of this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wmzaPQ6oKwFftdPm7QrIVJSGS0zs6ZSrOl5lglhGE58/edit?usp=drivesdk Information: Time: Saturday 9am PST/PDT Session 0: September 26th, 2026; 9am PST/PDT Saturday Requirements: Discord, Microphone, Realm VTT (Free Account) Minimum Age: 18 How to join: Add me on discord at "@sharpiewater" and let me know you are interested. Make sure to let me know when would be a good time for you to have a voice call with me, as I like to talk over Voice Chat with new players to make sure they are a culture fit (that I like you lol).
