  • In which I cover 3 excellent supplements for the Shadowdark RPG. All three of these (especially the first and last) really get what makes Shadowdark special and don't try to take it down the "5e road".
    Here's where you can get them -
    Life-Paths: A Shadowdark Supplement:

    Smoke and Steel: An Industrial Age Supplement for Shadowdark RPG:

    @RedMageGM - you are THE UA-cam! expert at Shadowdark. Have you ever tried to interview Kelsey Dionne? I think you would give the most in-depth interview for us die-hard crawlers!

      I haven't really considered doing interviews before, but that could be fun!

    I've discovered ShadowDark out of a long time away from 5e, it's the only edition of the game I've played, and after playing other rpgs; I found going back to 5e very distasteful. This game and possibly the OSR in general has reinvigorated my interest in this genre of tabletop. Thank you for all the coverage and commentary! I look forward to seeing more

    We are definitely buying Life-Paths. We liked how in Deathbringer each class had its own background lists.

      I haven't tried Deathbringer yet. It's on my list for sure!

    Hey, the writer of smoke and steel here. Thanks for the review! The machine gun is quite powerful but I wanted to include it for folks that want to run games set during WWI. For games set earlier I'd recommend excluding it or making it rare. Also I like your suggestion for Battlefield Insight.

      Absolutely! It's a great document. That makes a lot of sense, about the machine gun! I think it definitely works with a WWI vibe!

    I have bought and helped to kickstart quite a bit of shadowdark content (including life-paths). I really enjoy this game, and so do the students I run the game for.

    You may also watch out for Star Dark. This is Space Opera using Shadowdark rules.

    Great work. Love the focus on quality Shadowdark products that stay true to the game design and aesthetic.

    This is of course just from my experience so it's not 100% accurate, but when I hear people talk about taking, say a longbow over a crossbow, they are thinking of combat as sport which is opposite of what Shadowdark is implying which is combat as war. I'm 5e you are thinking about the multi hour long combat. In Shadowdark you are thinking about how can we have this combat end in a few turns max. That's just my opinion though.

    @RedMageGM - another great review of the World's BEST ttrpg - SHADOWDARK! I just purchased Life-Paths based on your review and love the Optional depth this adds to the game, while staying true to the SD system! Brilliant. Keep it up @RedGM!

    Life Paths looks awesome, a must buy.
    Maybe I will include it in the Shadowdark CoS Campaign the party is traveling to the vistani camp. So its quite early in the game.
