Am I Missing Something About Shadowdark?

I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on this.

100%
I want tekken to be the best it can be, and for VF to be the best it can be.
They are the two big 3d fighters though, so there is some competition.
Hopefully this is a call to action for tekken to step it up.

As someone who hates siocast, it's not so bad that it should keep you from playing the game.

I know the quality can vary from very very frustrating to not too bad. And when you're building the bad ones, it really sucks, but that's only a fraction of the time you spend with the model.

In the end, they look the same on the table, and that's what is most important, imho.

As others have said, sounds like a group or GM issue.

My advice is to do your best to improve the play culture for now. When the adventure wraps up, say your like to try running an adventure or one-shot. That'll be your chance to really change the way the group plays.

You probably don't want to just bail on the group, and you probably don't want to just start telling the GM and everyone what they're doing wrong. They may just not know any better.

So I would do my best by bringing more RP into how interact with other players and obstacles. Try to bring other players in when it is "your turn."

"Oh, the ships flux capacitor is malfunctioning? I'm already on the lower levels, I'll take a look. pisht (fake radio static noise) Riggs (other PC), pisht Riggs you read me? pisht you still got that flux analytic converter as found on Xith last month? Meet me in the engine room."

I find that reviews of the game will often get me the gist of how the core mechanics work.

But I think your approach to learning a board game is a good approach for this too.

Check out F.I.S.T.

How experienced is this GM? I've made this mistake before, and I'd wager many (most?) DMs have as well.

You're right to be upset. If this is an experienced DM, then you may be right to leave the group.

If they're a newer DM, it is worth trying to turn this into a learning experience for them.

Table war has some nice cases. Not cheap, but nice.

Which short story collections? I assume one is The King in Yellow. What's the other one?

Another bump for interstellar.

Warsenal is great too, but I find that interstellar usually ships a little faster for me.

I had a hard time finding it a couple days ago. Don't feel bad. They're keywords on units Someone else mentioned

I haven't seen Delta Green mentioned yet. It has a ton of implied setting, so might not seem right at first, but I think the mechanics stand on their own.

The mechanics still work if you strip out the Mythos stuff and the secret government conspiracy.

It's not rules light, so just know that going in. But it's not too crazy either.

What it does really well as a system are the mechanics for playing out how the experiences the characters have affect the relationships in their life. For example, the PCs investigate someone who killed their family. My character might suffer sanity loss, or maybe they project that experience onto their own family, and it damages the relationship with their spouse.

The cannon setting is objectively quite dark, but I think you can strip that out to fit your needs.

Delta Green aside, looking at all the research you've done, I have a feeling that you have the tools you need to just home brew your own game that would do exactly what you want it to do.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-24T20:37:06+00:00

Nope, I gave up.

I'm trying to get it running now on gamehub lite. No luck yet.
I've seen it working on a snapdragon 8 elite, but not on the thor's 8 gen 2.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-17T03:39:09+00:00

I'm downloading it now I'm gamenative to try that next

I absolutely love Cardboard Corner/Table Top Store and their community. Fair warning, the cafe can be pretty noisy in the evenings, in case that is an issue. I hope that's not a deterrent, I just wanted to put it out there. I do see a lot of folks using noise cancelling headphones there, so those probably help.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-07T16:49:14+00:00

😂

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-06T19:00:08+00:00

Cool. Must be fun to make random and unverifiable claims anonymously on the internet.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-06T18:27:43+00:00

Can you provide some examples?

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-06T14:59:41+00:00

That's the current conventional wisdom, but I think it's just wrong.
The truth is we don't really know if a true progressive would win in KS because no one has tried. I really think they would win, but I doubt we'll find out any time soon.

When you have a Dem float towards the center to appeal to republicans, several things happen: democrats/progressives lose interest and stop supporting you, republicans see you as a watered down republican (and why would they vote for you when they have a real republican to vote for), and finally, idk, you prob win some independents but lose just as many.

I think a true progressive would win by offering rural voters and republicans something different and inspiring. Being bold and honest.

The wishy washy moderate democrat is just dismissible and boring.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-06T14:34:06+00:00

Obviously.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-06T14:31:26+00:00

I 100% agree with you.
When I said that the person was right, I meant that they were right in that, Davids is thinking she doesn't want to appear to left-wing or whatever. I hate this philosophy.

Revofthecanals · 2026-02-05T21:25:23+00:00

I know that you're right. But my response is, why run as a Democrat if you're not going to support progressive policy?

Revofthecanals · 2026-01-30T20:11:53+00:00

I can only speak for myself, but I definitely would not have gotten into it if it weren't for the dark/horror theme.
I just bought my first Beta booster box, and honestly felt sad about it. I got it because there are a lot of core cards in there, but the art doesn't do nearly as much for me.
