About the adventure

Shadowdark is a modern take on old-school gameplay. It emphasizes dungeon- and danger-delving, with a simpler approach to character creation and management. In fact, a new character can be made with a couple of clicks in Foundry, or just a few minutes if you want to make one by hand! Join me as we harken back to a simpler time, delving into dungeons and danger in search of treasure and magic items! When your character dies, we'll roll up a fresh one and keep charging into the darkness! In this campaign, we'll learn how to play and create characters for Shadowdark. We'll explore both official and community created content, unlocking more complex character creation options as we play! Let's learn how to play Shadowdark together! ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── I'll let some of my players tell you what you can expect at my tables! 🤩 If you are looking for a DM that knows their stuff and provides a fantastic space for creativity and adventure look no further. Oddsquirrel gave our group a riveting opening and nail biting first encounter that taxed every resource we had. 10/10 - Tyler 🤩 Bryan is a real professional GM. He knows the rules in and out and each one is plugged into foundry so that you don't need to remember them! He shows up on time, he is prepared for each session. He knows the tools - foundry and discord run so smoothly that you forget how complex they are. Playing with Bryan is playing made easy. I'd 100% recommend Bryan to anybody looking to have a a real professional GM experience and he is so good you'll never want to go back. - Nate 🤩 Bryan is an amazing DM that provides an immersive experience with Foundry VTT and his knowledge of second edition Pathfinder rules. He adapts and improvises to the flow of the game and player actions to provide an outstanding experience by using the "rule of cool" over the Rules as Written. He foster teamwork and cooperation in a friendly setting. - Greg 🤩 Bryan does a fantastic job at introducing you to the game. His combats are fun, and he is very engaging when describing what happens within the game. It's very easy to tell he puts a lot of effort into his games, and is incredibly attentive to his players wants and needs. I cannot recommend his games enough. - Trey 🤩 Talented, experienced, knowledgeable, and someone not scared to not only explore brand new systems but letting his players explore as flamboyantly as their heart desires (hi, it's me, I'm the problem, it's me). - Andrea
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a computer, a microphone (preferably a headset), and a Discord account. Optional: • Familiarity with FoundryVTT (I can teach you!) • Foundry Lightweight Client (FLC) is an OPTIONAL application. While Foundry runs perfectly fine in most Chrome and Firefox browsers, FLC is a trimmed-down, lightweight application that results in less strain on your computer while playing. It's recommended, but definitely not required. You will NOT need to install (unless you decide to use FLC explained above) or purchase anything.
What I provide
We're going to start by keeping it simple, but as we play, we'll expand our options with all of the available official content, as well as some of the community content! Of course, I'm also providing a great soundtrack, amazing* character voices, and a great time! * you can be the judge of that
Gameplay details

Expect a 10-15 minute break about halfway through the session. XNO cards are available in FoundryVTT. Deck of Player Safety is accessed through Demiplane.
