The Shadowdark plays are super entertaining and fast. Stuff is always happening. Keep doing MORE of these. Way better than 5e. feels way more badass!

I love your play-throughs of Shadowdark. Entertaining but also help me to prep when I run the same adventure with a large group of high school students. Please keep these videos coming!

Thank you! I love running them!

I've never managed to stick around the 1+ hours of tabletop playing, but somehow I've watched the Lost Citadel and I'm watching through this one now. Your "to the point" DMing style meshes very well with Shadowdark's adventuring workflow. Running Shadowdark with my players right now and I've picked up many useful tricks from you. Thanks for putting these up!

Thank you! That is high praise. I share the live plays mostly for DMs who want to mine them to see how certain areas, enemies, or events played out. I'm glad you have found some useful tricks!

I’ve always had this idea that I would enjoy watching live play online, but when I do, it’s so hard to get into it for me. But THIS stream has been the exception! The pace, the creative play, and the gm’ing checks all the boxes! On another note, I’ve heard some criticize the initiative all the time mechanic, and to be honest I was in this camp, but the fluidity of how you guys play has me rethinking because I love how it keeps everyone engaged and at the table.

Wow! Thank you for the kind words! I am getting better at the initiative "all the time" thing. It can definitely be done poorly and slow things down... I don't normally do it in my 5E games, but I'm trying to grow it as a skill in my ShadowDark games!

@@d20play there is definitely a lot to learn from this style, even a hybrid version for 5e games. That’s one cool thing about Shadowdark is it’s mechanical commitment to keeping things moving and everyone engaged.

If you ever wanted to switch to Foundry VTT, torches are much easier. If the character has a torch in their inventory, they can right click their token and there is a torch icon which will use up the torch in inventory and activate the lighting which is centered on the token. Oh, and you guys have been doing a great job! Really enjoying it.

I really appreciate how you GM. It makes it seem achievable for me to take a crack at. Your players are not over the top and this is a video I'll share with my PC's (family members who have even less experience roleplaying than I do).

thanks for this. immediately brought back memories of playing white box D&D way back in the beginning. I was lucky enough to have one of the older kids on the block willing to let a few 8 year olds play in his own created dungeon. For our 8 sided die we used a nut screwed onto a bolt with the sides of the nut numbered. It was an amazing experience for an 8 year old and a spur to the imagination. Good to see this type of game play returning.

Hi Brian, I use the Powertools API for that. You can do something very similar with the built-in tools. Here is a video where I go over how I set that up: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2yE2qWggJO1Zc4.html

Mugdulblub is pleased you were listening. Yes, playing "Cave of Time" by Tabletop Audio in the background at very low volume. Sounds of dripping echoing water and the low moan of the wind moving through the caves.

It's a common gold sink that games have - you spend some gold partying to gain xp (and mishaps). Shadowdark has a carousing section in there.
