Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
Let me see if there's an online Shadowdark sheet thing that's lightweight
Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
just saying, with the background and stats, it's like a wizard in a nonmagical world
Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
let me know if this takes off. though I have a pretty hefty plate already and alot of side projects, I would definetely play this.

Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
How do you feel about doing it in Shadowdark?
I think the only adjustment would be that instead of a torch lasting 1 hour real time, it'd probably be 1 day realtime, since text-based.
Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
currently it looks a bit like low demand, but maybe at a later date. I too have not too much time and some projects (like thinking about what to build for my now fiancée and saving bedridden soldiers from fever) so I don't feel too bad if we don't start just tomorrow.
but if something happens to form, don't forget

Re: Forum Text Based Dungeouns and Dragons Game
also I feel at least the one project of brain wouldn't really work with this system. Way too build(ing) heavy.

You created this thread, what was it you wanted to propose, if you're not planning to run it?

Well, I'm in, but let us know when you work it out.
