Paid By Patreon One-Shot: Shadowdark

Each month on the first weekend, the Space Coast Adventurers Guild will dedicate one day to being out in the Brevard community running games, and the other to celebrating our SCAG family at Groundswell.
✨ Community Day: We’ll connect with local spaces and share our love of gaming!
✨ Guild Day: Expect open board gaming, free one-shots for Patreon supporters, potluck snacks, social deduction games, and Game Masters chatting about different systems.
Keep an eye on Meetup for times, signups, and more details!
PAID BY PATREON GAMES:
Paid By Patreon Games!

As part of our Community First Initiative, every SCAG Community Day will feature a special “Paid By Patreon” one-shot — free to play, thanks entirely to the generosity of our amazing Patreon supporters!
These free games exist because of them — our patrons make it possible for fellow adventurers in the Guild to enjoy a one-shot at no cost. For now, we’re able to offer one free one-shot each month, but as our Patreon grows, we hope to expand and bring even more free community games to life!

Participation is first come, first served, just like any other Guild-run game: but this one’s a gift from our patrons to you.

A huge thank-you to our Patreon supporters for helping make adventure accessible to everyone!

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Don't worry about it too much.
You are adventurers, possibly heroes. There may be a challenge. There might be loot. A big bad evil guy to defeat - probably. Will some of the characters die, hopefully.
There will be puzzles, combat, tomfoolery and above all fun.

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

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 sputtering low...
