What Is Shadowdark RPG?

In Shadowdark RPG, you and your group of crawlers use magic, steel, and wits to delve into mysterious ruins, lost cities, and monster-infested depths.

Wondrous treasures and long-forgotten secrets await you! But don't let your last torch burn out, or you could be swallowed by the Shadowdark...

5E players will find what they've been waiting for: an intuitive and complete TTRPG that serves as a seamless bridge into the heart of the Old School Renaissance.  

Old-school gamers will find a system that is familiar and nostalgic, but with major quality-of-life upgrades that modernize the old-school experience. 

Your legend awaits, crawler. 

Lift your blade, light your torch, and plunge into the unknown depths of the Shadowdark!

Shadowdark is what an old-school fantasy adventure game would look like after being redesigned with 50 years of innovation. 

  • Four core classes: fighter, priest, thief, wizard
  • A d20-based, roll-high system
  • No skills — just ability checks and advantage/disadvantage
  • Low hit points — fast and deadly combat
  • Roll-to-cast spells — magic is exciting and risky

Shadowdark RPG is fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. It’s built for sword-and-sorcery adventures where fell monsters slither in darkness and ancient gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered.

In Shadowdark RPG, real time comes into play. A torch only holds back the looming darkness for one hour of actual game time! There isn't a moment to spare when your only light source is guttering low...

Get ready for old-school gaming in a whole new light!
