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.

We had a blast at Gen Con this year! We recorded a lot of panels and games this year but this live recording of RPPR was a highlight for sure. In this episode, members of the RPPR cast talk about their gaming highlights over the last year, plans for RPPR in the near future, and games we wish we could play but never can bring to the table. Plus a segment where listeners try to stump us about what we had done in certain games.

I’ve written a new action horror RPG called Labyrinth Signal. It’s a d20-based system inspired by survival horror games like Silent Hill and Alan Wake. It uses an innovative combo meter mechanic for combat that adds tactical depth to fighting monsters and mitigates the swinginess of normal d20 fights. I talk about the mechanics and inspirations with Caleb. You can get the beta PDF on the RPPR Patreon, which comes with a full scenario, Peak Nightmares. I ran an actual play of it last month on RPPR Actual Play.

Watch this episode on Youtube to see pages from the beta PDF and other visuals. 

Check out Hebanon Games and Delta Green Dead Channels. We’re playing a great actual play campaign with Bridget, Fae, Thad, and Ross!

We’re going to Gen Con this year! We’re running a lot of events and if you’re going, you can sign up for them with the links below.

On the RPPR Patreon, check out After Hours for our latest episodes on Kremin, the weirdest RPG since Synnibarr. In Megadungeon Meandering we’re looking at a Liminal Horror scenario about a small town with a secret evil cult. I also published a Cthulhu Eternal scenario called Darkfield, featuring art from Sirenhead creator Trevor Henderson.
