Learn to Play Shadowdark

This session will provide an introduction to Shadowdark RPG, a rules-light role-playing game that evokes old-school Dungeons & Dragons game play with the use of modern (5e) mechanics. Easy to learn and a lot of fun!

We will learn through play, using the iconic SD beginner adventure The Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur. The players, through their characters, will explore the ruins of a long-ago warrior cult, balancing risk and reward as they seek treasure while avoiding threats from traps and monsters -- above all, the feared Scarlet Minotaur.

Players should bring a pencil and paper. The standard array of D&D polyhedral dice (d4/d6/d8/d10/d12/d20) are also recommended.
