Shadowdark

Shadowdark is what an old-school fantasy adventure game would look like after being redesigned with 50 years of innovation. Shadowdark RPG is fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. It’s built for sword-and-sorcery adventures where fell monsters slither in darkness and ancient gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered. In Shadowdark RPG, real time comes into play. A torch only holds back the looming darkness for one hour of actual game time! There isn't a moment to spare when your only light source is guttering low... Get ready for old-school gaming in a whole new light!
