Another DM who runs for middle schoolers! W00t w00t!
LOVED this post, as I'm a teacher who also runs games for middle schoolers (see my blog here: bobirving.bearblog.dev/when-is-a-do...).
I run #Shadowdark but am interested in Cairn. I've found SD to be great on-ramp for my 5E kids, but your suggestion about dumping DnD tropes hits home. Dolmenwood?
Oh yeah.
Got this, and it's awesome! #shadowdark #solorpg

We have been here before, and we know what to do. RESIST!
Got it. Looks pretty amazing.
Looking for a good #solorpg discord server. Any recos and invite links?
Woohoo!
Thanks!
Anyone ever play Wolves Upon the Coast solo? Just got the Bundle of Holding and it looks very awesome. #osr
What adventure are you running? And how experienced are your players in old school playing, ie: realizing they're not super heroes, being cautious, using their wits, and even being willing to run away. Not assuming you aren't doing this, but I also think the lethality of Shadowdark is overstated.
I think megadungeons must be an acquired taste.
I just backed Shadowdark RPG: The Western Reaches Setting on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sha...
Late to the party, I know.... but wow.
That's what I think too. However, I did get the recent Arden Vul Bundle and will read it for inspiration. Can't imagine running it. Having said that, the 3D6DTL folks did a really entertaining playthrough. And I'm not a fan of AP's.
Seriously great art here! I bought it right away and you should too.
Is is the Arden Vul or the Shadowdark port that is causing the problems for you?
Just downloaded these and they are FANTASTIC! Thanks for making them and putting them out there. I did pay for them, as they're so worth it.
I run Shadowdark for middle schoolers, but they're a bit older than your age group. Hard to say, but I've been thinking that if I ran something for that age group, I'd want to try Land of Eem.
We sometimes need some hilarity in these times. Here's a true story from my middle school RPG group: bobirving.bearblog.dev/when-is-a-do...
"Shadowdark: The Western Reaches" has officially hit $3 million in funding on Kickstarter. We look at what this means for the game and the TTRPG community as a whole. ttrpgfans.com/shadowdark-t... #shadowdark #shadowdarkrpg #arcanelibrary #ttrpg #TTRPGCommunity #TabletopRPG #RPG

Doing my last deep dive in #ironsworn and hoping it sticks this time. Reading Delve and "envisioning" how things might develop. Open for tips, as I'm coming from a very OSR-like mindset. But I do love writing and literature, so I think Fiction First might somehow work for me.
True. But there are other (free) sync solutions. Publish not so much. But it's hard to argue with the cost of the base app.
It's free, right?
It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Just turned off "smart" stuff on #gmail. Whew. So tired of AI intrusions on everything. Glad I'm on #linuxmint.
