About the adventure
The world is not what it once used to be. You remember what once was, and so you try to forget. Drowning yourself in vice is costly in more than one way. Delve into dark forgotten places, encounter dark, forgotten creatures, and retrieve dark, forgotten treasures. Spend your coin on your vice, enjoy what time you have left. This game is for you... ➤ If you feel intimidated by the complexity of "D&D™" ➤ If you want to try out Shadowdark ➤ If you just want to have fun rolling some dice, exploring dark places, killing monsters, and taking their stuff; The world isn't great. ➤ On the brink of the end, again. ➤ All of the things: War, Famine, Pestilence, Plague, food shortages, riots, bandits, executions, burnings... and those are just the natural, mundane things. With themes like... ➤ Searching for your own hope, and holding on loosely; ➤ Finding respite and entertainment in the darkest of times; ➤ Trying to make things better in spite of the world; I play by... ➤ Facilitating fast play ➤ Rolling out in the open ➤ Incorporating what I'm given to work with
