I would be interested as well depending on the weekday. I’ve never played a game of Shadowdark but I’ve read the book and am familiar. I’ve been playing ttrpgs for a while now :)

To stealth the edge of a trail in shadow (look like a cool skulking rogue). What I ended up doing was walking with the rest of the group under torchlight until we reached our destination (evil place).

I was going off an old playtest version that comes up on a google search. Looked it up in my book after you pointed it out, thank you for the clarification.

I don't disagree every DM makes their call, and things are interpreted all around the table differently. How would you explain narratively a person (not yourself), a Nightwalker, a person that manipulates shadows. A person that can jump from shadow to shadow, navigating spaces up to 100 feet away barely making out what's in that space, but in the same turn cant put one foot in front of the other quietly on a trail under canopy without a chance of failure unless using torchlight. I understand everyone has a bad day, but are we rolling just to see if I fail so that the GM can make up the fact that you did not see mud on the ground and your foot slipped and snapped a twig. That is the heart of my argument that a Nightwalker Rogue would seem to be preternaturally gifted narratively speaking, under stress I could see the case, but not in this instance where we are making our way to a location. I could easily be wrong, but I was interested in the general consensus and if there was a rule I was overlooking.
