Shadowdark RPG Unboxing

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Man I admire your purchasing choices haha! I got the book, screen, and scroll #1, but I’m totally going to pick up the physical QuickStart pack and dungeon cards if they become available on the store.

[@SortKaffe]

Single-card adventures is such a great idea. I hope they'll become available online and in physical stores, but to be safe I got the same set as Chris.

[@user-lv1nn6qb4r]

The time has come

[@Kiwi4BBQ]

The Quickstart Set has everything for the player facing side. What is missing are spell tiers 3-5, magic item generation, lots of monsters, lots of random tables, and guidelines on how to make your own monsters.

Love seeing all the support you keep giving Shadowdark! Thanks for helping the community grow!

[@dirigoallagash3464]

I'm bummed I didn't go in for the zines, the rest I was okay with skipping. I mostly got the book to support Kelsey but I'm really digging it. She nailed it!

[@elementzero3379]

I pledged on Day One, just minutes after learning about the game, and I recall vacilating on whether to get the zines. I try to keep my physical collection lean. After a few days, I decided to get them. I'm glad I did. Each one is a mini-setting with additional player classes, spells, monsters, and genre-supporting rules (mounts, seafaring, etc...), adventures, sites and maps. If you enjoy Shadowdark and get a chance to grab them, they're worth having.

[@EternalRanger337]

I think the main limitation of the Quickstart guide is that the spells detailed are 1st & 2nd tier spells. So probably limited to 3rd or 4th level for casters.

[@matthewconstantine5015]

This game looks like a ton of fun & good quality, even if I don't think it's really my bag. I don't know why I always thought you were on the West Coast, but you've said things in your recent videos that make me think you're in NoVA, my neck of the woods. It just seems like most of the RPG KZbin folks are on the West Cast, North Texas, Philly, or Canada, so I took note. It's good to know there's someone in this area that is playing something other than Pathfinder, which seems to be the only RPG thing happening at the shops I've visited.

[@vintagezebra5527]

Just got my box yesterday - same tier as you. I was blown away! Can’t wait to run it!

[@Wraithing]

That's amazing timing. Got my box of Shadowdark stuff today - the coincidence was, I received my Forge of Foes delivery today too!! So Kelsey and Mike day and full crossover on KZbin. Amazing.

[@SlyFlourish]

awesome!!

[@NightNoonGames]

I can't believe I didn't think to get the physical quickstart books as add-ons! Thanks for posting, Mike!

[@jameswarnock101]

Love the cat behind the DM screen!!! 😈😈😈

[@SlyFlourish]

She loves to be in control

[@dustincoopermusic]

I have already unpacked my book... but I so got excited to watch this video to relive the magic! Thanks again!

[@MNTwinsBaseball]

I believe that the physical QuickStart was an add-on. Kinda wish I had gotten it so players could have a reference to avoid trading the corebook back and fourth.

[@David-su4is]

❤ if you'd like to round it out a bit I'd suggest Jake House's (House DM) "Into the Shadow Lands".

[@jamesalexhowlett]

I had a dream last night I actually got my package. It’s been stuck in New Jersey forever now.

[@SlyFlourish]

I had that same dream! It was less than five miles from my house for three days. It was shipped USPS.

[@jeremynielsen5555]

I got mine a few days ago. The special edition book is really cool! Cannot wait to teach my grandkids to play!

[@mateofantasma]

Sweet stuff! I got my own pack a few days ago. Everything is so well done, really makes a good impression.

[@BrunoGallant]

Can't wait. My package is still in transit in NYC.

[@kwith]

I'm up in Canada and currently my order is sitting in NY still. So I'm hoping it will show up here in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait!

[@dandeegan3913]

This is so fun to watch. I received mine the other day and can't put it down. I'm trying to figure out how to find time to run this game on top of my weekly Mad Mage campaign. Another challenge will be to grab some people from my group who have the time for a second game night as well!

[@Ian_Butterworth]

I got mine today as well. I am in the United Kingdom. Took 9 days to arrive.

[@mus0u]

the quality and formfactor of the book and gm screen is really top notch. i wish the Old School Essentials GM screen had that size and layout. although i do think the information on the OSE screen is better for its game than the shadowdark screen which seems to mostly be content generators that i'll probably run dry pretty quickly rather than reference information i would otherwise be looking up all the time. i guess i'm bad at remembering numbers.

[@Jimmy.1979]

I love physical books! I like using the pdf for certain things, but I agree. It's clunky to scroll through. With a book, I can flip way faster and easier.

[@Mr_GoR_]

OOOOOOO! FULFILLMENT! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY PHYSICAL MATERIALS!

[@rathorrath401]

Got mine. One of the corners was bent a bit but overall was amazing

[@attar81]

Kitty GM there

[@Antinomer]

Iirc the quickstart guides spells went to only 2nd level. Which is very ok imho.

[@MirskCragmaw]

Awesome! ❤

[@jasondincauze3629]

I can't put my copy down

[@rufuslynks8175]

Your cat is ready to play there...

[@mccrayali]

Where do I purchase the box set from

[@pdubb9754]

I get nervous each time you take the knife to plastic. Don't cut the product. Or your fingers!

[@IrishWristwatch0_0]

In your current shadowdark campaign, how do your players feel about not getting new abilities for their characters? Is it stale at all or does the inclusion of new magic items make things interesting for longer form play?

[@Buzzregog]

Yeah - DHL sucks - I cringed when I saw who the shipper was. Can't wait for mine to show up tho.
