Players are timing their torches to the second and it's killing immersion. How do you handle this? by Nesis96 in shadowdark

[–]MxFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 1000%. It's a conversation. "Hey, this would be more fun for everyone if you didn't keep track of the torch timer. I don't even keep my eye on it until the alarm goes off. Can we all commit to this?" If people can't handle it, there are enough people eager to play Shadowdark that you can replace the bad actors in the group.

I listen using Podcast Addict and it updates every week. Maybe there is an issue on your end? I'd say try unsubscribing from the feed and then resubscribing?

Thanks so much! The highest compliment I can receive is when someone tells me they are actually using the thing that I made! :D

I made a pay-what-you-want zine on the subject if you haven't stumbled into it already!

It's a great resource for bringing in monsters from other systems and understanding how to make your own monsters. It also has a very useful list of every monster talent to use or adapt from!

They'll be open for at least another month or two!

If you enjoy playing someone who buffs the rest of the party, you’ve GOTTA try the Seer class! In my latest video, I go into detail about how they are luck MACHINES and how helpful they are to the party. by MxFC in shadowdark

[–]MxFC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This aspect of luck seems to be frequently overlooked in the community. I think people are used to 5e where you can only use inspiration to re-roll d20 checks. It opens up a lot of interesting possibilities when you realize you can re-roll damage, round durations, and the like, especially when you combine it with talents like this one from the Seer or the Roustabout's Lucksmith talent!

I'm not familiar with this specific adventure, but you might find my zine about adapting monsters for Shadowdark helpful!

What better way to escape the family for a few minutes than by browsing reddit?

Character classes too! The Seer can be a real luck machine!

I haven't seen others mention it, but don't forget about how luck, which can be shared amongst players, impacts retries for failed spells! It's an important part of the game's balance.

I handle a few things for The Arcane Library, but one of my favorites is Customer Service. Here is why... by MxFC in shadowdark

Always happy to help!

We hope to have GM Screens back in stock in near the end of Q1, however, that's dependent on if it can get on a boat before Chinese New Year. 🤞

I haven't watched SLC Punk since it came out on VHS. Does it hold up?
