What is Shadowdark? An Interview with Kelsey Dionne about the OSR hit RPG

from Role Playing Public Radio

Shadowdark is a fantasy role playing game built on OSR design principles with several new mechanics, including a real time torch light rule and experience point rules that emphasize exploration over violence. I sat down with the game’s creator, Kelsey Dionne at Gen Con to discuss the game’s creation, its mechanics, and how Kelsey has been able to build a community for the game. Learn more about the game at Arcane Libary’s website. https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/pages/shadowdark
