SURVIVE A BRUTAL GAUNTLET! 🗡️ Bring 4 dorks, watch 'em die!💀
Shadowdark RPG | One-Shot
About the adventure
🔥 CRAWL in the dark! 🗡️ SURVIVE a terrifying gauntlet! 💀 DESPAIR AND DIE! No heroes here! Only level-0 nobodies with a few rusty blades, a lot of desperation, and a torch sputtering in the dark.... Each player guides a small group of villagers forced into a deadly dungeon environment. You'll crawl through a grimy arena, looking to grab the gold and escape! 🔥 Can you ENDURE using only your wits? 🔥 Will you PROVE YOURSELF against all odds? 🔥 Can you BECOME THE CHAMPION your home needs??? Probably not, but hey, it's gonna be a good time! If you want to feel your pulse pounding and get eaten by an ooze, this is the one-shot for you! ☠️ This session will introduce you to SHADOWDARK - a new game built on the bones of the very first dungeon-crawling RPGs, updated with familiar and modern 5E-style gameplay. You will FACE YOUR DOOM in one of these nasty little adventures: 🦇 THE CRY OF THE STINGBAT 🐗 THE GREAT BOAR HUNT 💀 THE TRIAL OF THE SLIME LORD If you prefer to die in one spot rather than other, lemme know 🥰 --- Art: Arcanum Game Studio https://arcanum-rpg-studio.itch.io/rt-assets-shadowdark

How to prepare
You will need a microphone to talk to me and the other players. I do encourage my players to use a webcam as well, because it helps me connect with my players and make sure everyone is having a good time. But it isn't a requirement. No rules knowledge is required for this session. I am here to help if you're brand new - it all makes a decent amount of sense and it's not that tough! And if you have played a fantasy RPG before, you will be able to pick up the rules of this game pretty quickly! Otherwise, you will have to connect to the game in Foundry and the chat in Discord using the provided links.
What I provide
Characters, maps, and all the rules I need to kill you down in the dark! 🎭 Meet weird little guys, I'll do dumb little voices for them! 🗺️ Explore maps complete with fancy lights and animation! 🎼 Enjoy ambience and nifty tunes! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ A welcoming place to play: Bullies get booted, we stay comfy and keep having a good time. No tolerance for jerks or for racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic behaviour. 🪄 Get creative and craft your story: I love encouraging the creativity of my players and watching them solve problems in fun ways. Come up with wild ideas and see the beautiful freedom that role-playing games have to offer! Got questions? DM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Let's create some new heroes and get into trouble! ~Seamus

How will character creation work
I will provide characters for this one shot. You will get to draft a little team of crappy little guys: level-0 villagers who really don't want to be here! Trust me, it's hilarious and gory and brutal and great.
