    That sounds like a very brave, dagger wielding wizard

      He has insane luck with death rolls (MOST of the time he rolls a Nat 20 and comes back) so he now has a weird amount of confidence...We all know sooner or later his luck will run out, we just don't know when.

    I love the Spell casting check.

    Great breakdown. As a DM I have loved the chaotic nature of the magic in ShadowDark!

    Great summary of Shadowdark casting! just one small correction: the Bard's Magical Dabbler ability specifies that they roll a wizard mishap if they critically fail to cast a spell using a scroll or wand.

    thank you for explaining this. i was considering not buying shadowdark because the rules seemed so confusing to me. but this was easy to understand.

    I like how you're explaining this and it's a great, fun system, for those who'll like the deadly nature of play. Dragonbane is very similar, although it's Skills-based/Roll Under.
    On the video, you're echoing what you're saying very quietly in the background most of the time....just FYI. Good job on this though! 👍🤓

    The best spell casting system in my mind is from Genesys. Plus, the ability to create narrative game play with the advantages / triumphs etc make the game far more interesting. (Only responding you comment about being one of the best magic systems). Other than that, I do love shadowdark.

    Question,priests and wizards show tier 3 plus spells known but I’m not seeing any info on spells above tier 2?

      Their srd only has tier 1 and 2. You'll need to get higher tier spells from the book.

    Shadowdark’s magic system was just taken from Dungeon Crawl Classics.

      Every spell in the DCC book has a two page spread of roll tables. Shadowdark's system is much less cumbersome.
