Shadowdark RPG (2023)

The Gloaming is an ancient forest where black trees tower over mossy standing stones and mist-addled bogs. Here, fragile bastions of mankind cluster behind torchlit palisades and pray for deliverance from the demons that hatch from the forest's cursed marrow trees. The Knights of St. Ydris range out of their deepwood conclave to wage a losing war against these demons and their servants. I am looking for 1-3 more players to join 2 others. We will be playing on Roll20. The time for the game is most likely going to be Sunday evenings, 7pm to 10pm  eastern US. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer.

Vibe: Grimdark, high fantasy, found family, dungeon crawl I'm looking for players who enjoy the tension of resource management and clever problem-solving over "face-tanking" monsters. Tone: I'm not going to say the tone will be intentionally comedic or serious, as I can understand that it can be difficult for people to successfully pull off either, so it's going to be more of a playing be ear of seeing what players I get and seeing where it goes, and hopefully having those funny or serious moments come organically rather than intentionally. DM Style: I'm aiming for something very RP heavy. Low on combat. I'll try to make combat's more like puzzles that you can solve almost instantly rather than health bars you have to chip away at. If an entire session is just the players and NPC's talking to each other, and they've barely moved from where they started, I would consider that a perfect session. Schedule: Every other [Saturday/Sunday], 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST (GMT-5). Platforms: discord(voice), owlbear rodeo My Motivation: I just really like the fantasy setting. I have no idea why. I saw this system on Dungeons & Daddies and became intrigued by the "classic" toned down vibe. My preference for fantasy is the grit of adventuring balanced with the ever growing party dynamics, so I thought it a perfect fit. Oh, and to make friends. This feels like the easiest way to meet people who are also into fantasy. I've yet to read the material, so it'll probably be a week or two until the first session. But just DM me if you're interested and I'll DM you once I've set everything up.
