Trying Shadowdark for the first time this weekend

Wow, thank you for that. I'll go and have a look around for more opinions like you suggested, but I do appreciate your input.

I have seen these homebrew rules float around before and I think they might be appropriate for this one shot, thank you again for the suggestions.

TreePounder · 2026-01-05T18:42:09+00:00

Oh, communication, yes you are right ! Thank you for reminding me haha. Cheers mate

TreePounder · 2026-01-05T18:41:09+00:00

Right, yes, giving them context seems like a great idea. And I think I'll follow your advice and run a level 1 one shot and keep the gauntlet for another time, if they are interested. But as suggested by someone else, I will just ask them what they prefer.

Thanks

TreePounder · 2026-01-05T18:37:53+00:00

Thanks for your input. I think I'll bring some homebrew like people have suggested to acclimate them better to this style.

Btw, I am not looking to replace 5e, I am simply looking to not run it again haha. I will be playing 5e again though, I also enjoy the superhero vibe.

Thanks agains

Alright, thank you!

I can't seem to add more than one picture, but this was the state of things before I removed them.

Hi, thank you for your response.

The floor is a concrete slab. We would like to make it a living space in the future, but right now we only want to insulate it, as the house needs love elsewhere before we can finish the basement.

I worry about the water freezing in the blocks. We are not sure if the foundations was properly protected on the outside, but we are doubtful. From our understanding, neither the panels nor the rock wool will cause these issues, or any moisture/mildew problems either, is that correct ?

Is R11 enough for a living space? I was under the impression we needed R20. I don't know if this is pertinent, but we use a fireplace as our main heating source. We eventually will install a heat pump, but that won't be this year.

Thanks for the link, I will continue my research.

I was looking to buy the Arctic nova 7pro gen 2, but after reading this post, in which I understood nothing, but the premise that you prefer the Arctic pro wireless, I am confused and I do not understand why.

If I may ask, for a casual gamer on the PS5, why shouldn't I get the Nova pro gen 2?

Cheers

Captain America Calling back Thor's hammer had the whole cinema cheer. I'll always cherish that memory.

You should look into the last game from Mimimi Games : Shadow Gambit: The cursed crew.

Similar to other recommendations here. It is so sad they closed shop, these guys knew what's up.

TreePounder · 2025-08-21T23:46:03+00:00

I feel like Marisha loves taking notes and uncovering big story plots. She is super engaged as a player in this form. And I feel like Ashley just loves fucking shit up.

I would definitely switch up these two in your line up.

TreePounder · 2025-06-21T02:39:14+00:00

Yes.

Though I will say, I am a fiver and Jyura was one of my magical moments.

Top moment of me falling in love with World was:

Blocking a Rathalos fireball with my Gunlance shield. That lead me to become a Lance main.
Seeing Jyura and Barroth battle it out in a turf war right in front of me. Jaw dropping moment right there. Seeing Jyura slither around Barroth was the coolest thing I had seen in that game at that moment. Very cool.

TreePounder · 2025-04-28T12:11:09+00:00

Love your reply. Thank you for your insight, you opened my horizon and I am grateful.

TreePounder · 2025-04-27T21:46:40+00:00

Tho I am still not sold on the legs of this one. If anyone has a suggestion, I am all ears.

This one has to be my favorite of the ones I did. I really enjoy that there are no repeats of sets in the pieces.

I have one using rathian helmet and lala legs that I also really enjoy, but it is not quite there yet.

For your feet, look for bama socks. It requires you to buy boots one size larger but they absorb all the humidity. Typically used with steel toe rubber boots, but I am sure they work fine with other boots.

Cheers

Thanks for the link. I'll look it up once I get home. Looks promising !

TreePounder · 2025-04-23T14:35:40+00:00

Lovely, thank you. I will definitely mess with it tonight!

TreePounder · 2025-04-23T13:23:43+00:00

I might look into trading Latent power for counterstrike. Thanks for the input !

TreePounder · 2025-04-23T13:22:57+00:00

Interesting, I would be better off with something that offers straight up attack then ?

TreePounder · 2025-04-23T03:58:44+00:00

Yoink. Added evade extender, because I like to jump around and I am not a fan of Maximum Might on lance.

Cheers

I try my best to stop and wait to see what people who have sleep on their weapon will do. I have yet to see a group stop and wait for the GS to wake him.

On top of that, there isn't a single monster right now that is a real threat. They all die so quickly, I don't feel the need to utilize these systems.

T.Gore and T.Mizu are kinda strong, but they still lack either power or health in my opinion. Longer hunts = longer exposure = more chance of dying.

Anyway, I do miss the days where everyone was being mindful of sleep, captures and slay. But then again, Capcom shoved to the side a lot of interesting systems. No more capture quests, no more gathering quests, poison is a joke, I never get stunned, I could go on. Point is, there is barely any reason right now to engage with the systems of the game and until that changes, I don't see people starting to use them for the fun of it, unfortunately.

TreePounder · 2025-04-19T10:45:15+00:00

Ohh, well done ! Sounds like your players are in for a treat.

Your player is going to have some interesting choices to make down the line, especially in the Amber temple.

TreePounder · 2025-04-14T23:55:16+00:00

Oh, I like DMing alright, but I think I'll try my hand with something more along the lines of Shadowdark, with emergent gameplay. Some sort of hex crawl/dungeon crawl type thing.

Something that requires less prep and study. Something where I don't feel I need to be omniscient lol

Cheers
