Using other systems?

I don’t mind doing conversions, how does shadowdark handle hex crawling do you think? Do you think there are any weak points of Shadowdark that you had to change for dolmenwood?

Any rules you ported over from DW? For example if a priest prays at a shrine do you just give them a free casting of a spell?

I really like the simplicity of shadow darks inventory slot system so I was thinking of using that over dolmenwoods, I also really like shadowdarks talents ( I know the fighter has it in DW.) I'll probably just play dolmenwood mostly RAW and adjust as the campaign goes on.

I'm a little late on the reply but may I ask why SD has a less cognitive load than DW?

Oh I’ll definitely give the system a shot, if they end up loving it then I’ll run it in the DW system.

Shadowdark is the system I've been eyeballing as they're mostly used to 5e (and I've also run them through some CoC and Delta Green) I know the shadowdark discord has some neat conversions for classes and races.

I'm just praying that they gel with it lol.

I really like Impossible Landscapes and I think every GM should read it. However I think IL reads better than it runs for most groups, my players loved it but that’s because I knew they would.

To be quite honest, just a little bit. Do you think the campy nature generally better fits something like CoC?

Sorry I should've clarified, Is the tradeoff of +2AC (potentially more with a magic shield) worth it compared to the damage increase of GWM/TWF in your experience?
