- Welcome! My name is Jface and I'm a TTRPG & Board Game enthusiast. I'm in the midst of creating my own game, and as I go through the process i'm exploring what makes other games work so well. We are analyzing mechanics, and the math behind it as well as the general feel. If you are also building a game then come along for the ride!
What am I also doing?

Hell yeah man, ShadowDark is one of my favorite things to come out of the TTRPG scene recently. I love how despite being stripped-down, there's barely any loss of character expression from modern systems. It dared to be different, and it absolutely paid off.
I agree. It does a wonderful job of trimming all the fat and keeping a specific feel
I recently found Shadowdark and fell madly in love with it. Especially, the Cursed Scroll 1 zine.
I’ll have to check that one out!
@jfacegames7354 it's like an expansion. Knights, Warlocks, and Witches.
@dunmwarupreachan4567 that sounds dope
Regarding Conditions: while the rules don't list the specific "conditions," like 5E does, there is a paragraph on Conditions. Basically the GM is charged with adjudicating whether or not the character is currently experiencing a condition and whether or not advantage or disadvantage should apply there.
I'm absolutely a fan of the OSR style of using GM adjudication in many instances instead of a maze of rules.
It’s a very solid point. It’s nice to just have disadvantage in your pocket and in essence “all” potential conditions at your disposal from a narrative perspective
Great video. Would love to see the 2nd and 3rd parts 😊
Someone requested that last week. I’ll have to get it done soon!
Thanks for the video series. I learned a lot. ❤
Great video! I love the content and the way you went over the game. I back Shadow dark and I'm waiting for my book to arrive and so I'm watching every video I can find about it! LOL! I'm so glad I found this channel!
It’ll be a fun game for sure! Thanks for supporting the channel. Hope you can find some other value on here, haha
Character death is not inevitable. Characters just need to be more strategic and realize they are not superheroes, and they cannot just hack away at every monster they see and live. It makes the game more suspenseful.
I’m also building a RPG and I LOVE putting together the charts that GMs could use!

Click the Full NPC button. I’m trying to digitize stuff 😉
Questing Beast, not Dungeon Beast.
Hahaha, thanks. I knew I’d screw that up 🤪
15:15 "there are 100 encounters" close... there are 51 encounters as 1 and 00 each only have one and numbers 2 through 99 trigger a unique encounter on a pair of numbers. 2-3, 4-5, ...ect, 98-99.
Is the mic of danish decendant ? Røde = red(s) in danish 🇩🇰
Where are part2 and 3?
I mix it up a bit, haha. I’ll knock those out soon. Part 2 I wanted to wait until I created my Encounter Generator website. Mainly because a “basic” encounter wouldn’t work as a show in this game because it’s not a tactical system. So now I feel like I can do it Justice ;)
Where are the other videos? Eh?
Haha, soon. I plan on recording them very soon ;)
What's OSR?
Old school renaissance 😜
Something about calling this a survival game rubs me the wrong way, it's like calling snake eater a survival game cause you try not to die. Flattens it out too much, not see the forest for the trees
Hmm, IMO the point is that it conveys to 5e players what their mindset should be. The dungeon is not a fun place to be. It's a place you want to spend as little time in as possible so long as you get what you came for. That's a big mindset shift.
