Shadowdark
I just wanted to mention that we all played Shadowdark as a group a little while ago - Phil got to have his first RPG adventure, complete with math rocks! It was really cool.
I appreciate just how much work went in to making Shadowdark as smooth and elegant a rules set as it is. It’s really nice and I recommend it (along with a lot of other people, so there).
Snag your own copy, try it out, see what I mean.
Now I want to make a Galhadria pamphlet for Shadowdark … perhaps after edits are done.
