What we’re about
Shadowdark is a new TTRPG which blends Old School Renaisance (OSR) style rules with the modern mechanics of D&D 5e. Characters are heroes rather than superheroes and there is a high level of danger. I would like to run a West Marches style campaign set in a home brewed fantasy noir world. We will meet at the Wheaton Community Recreation Center.
There is an active Call of Cthulhu campaign lurking within the group, and others welcome. Contact the group leader.

"Trial of the Slime Lord" (Shadowdark level-0 gauntlet)
Wheaton Recreation Center, 11701 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD, USYou and other villagers have been captured by cultists and thrown into a pit to face the Trial of the Slime Lord: escape, or die.
This is a Level 0 gauntlet for the Shadowdark RPG system.
A gauntlet is an introductory adventure where players control multiple non-heroic characters faced with the life-or-death challenge of escaping a dangerous dungeon. Some (ok, many!) of these Everyday Joes and Janes won't survive, but those who escape grow from the experience to become (if the players want) a level 1 Shadowdark character. Gauntlets are a great way for players new to Shadowdark to learn the system and a lot of fun for new and experienced players alike!
GM: Mark
What You'll Need:
- (Recommended): A laptop, tablet or phone (I will bring a power strip for charging). We will be using a virtual table-top (Owlbear Rodeo), which does not require installation or an account. Alternatively, players can forego the VTT and play using a "Theatre-of-the-Mind" approach.
- (Optional) The Shadowdark RPG Core Rulebook or a downloaded copy of the free Player Quickstart Guide.
- No character creation is necessary for this adventure! I will assign players a set of four pre-generated level 0 characters to start with.
- (Optional) You can bring physical dice or use the VTT built-in dice roller.
