Shadowdark RPG and the immediate future!

Hi there, Denizens of the Tower, followers, and dungeoncrawlers. In January, after there were doubts over what would happen with D&D 5e's Open Game License, we decided to not endorse 5e anymore and switch to an in-house developed system.

However, it seems that splitting our time illustrating, writing, and then developing a whole system is going to take us YEARS of hard work and those rules well ...
