Light is time. Spend it wisely.
Shadowdark is fast, deadly, old-school fantasy: a single torch, an hour of real time, and a lot of darkness between you and the treasure. Everything you need to sit down and play is here: a player cheat sheet, a step-by-step character creation guide, a Game Master’s guide, and the SoloDark rules for delving on your own. Roll 3d6, light a torch, and go down.
Support the Game
We play it because someone made it.
Shadowdark is published by The Arcane Library. If you like what you see here, support the people who made the thing and pick up your own copy.
We’re big fans of the team at Dungeonland — a proper independent games shop run by people who know and love the hobby. If they’ve got it on the shelf, that’s where we’d start.
Can’t find it there, or prefer digital? DriveThruRPG is usually your next stop.
Friday Knights isn’t affiliated with either – we just think good games and good game shops are worth supporting.
