523 The Crawl Into the Place of the Thing: River of Night

The Crawl Into the Place of the Thing: River of Night
Mini Dungeon Delving in the jungle and ancient ruins along the Black River using the extremely simple, fast, and fun Shadowdark, based on D&D 5e with all the boring bits cut out. These short delves are mostly by the game author and her talented collaborators. Pick from pregens – archaeologists, treasure hunters, and descendants of the ancients eager to reclaim their heritage – and we'll dive into dangerous choices! You can play this game more than once; there are many places to go, like ancient temples, magma lakes, incandescent grottoes, eerie glistening black monuments, and holes in the ground. There you will meet terrifying void beings, basilisk cultists, the bizarre skandrill, the proud and restless dead, the dream dragon, appallingly huge fauna and hostile flora, and reclusive researchers. My intention as DM is to offer a fast and fantastical game focused on creative choices at the table, with strong visuals and deadly stakes, rather than a lot of exposition or long investigative conversations. This game is great for both new and experienced gamers who can make bold choices and use their voices, and who fear boredom more than character death. If your character is slain, we’ll give you another and get you back into the action. Though we will talk lots about gruesome violent happenings, which might actually happen to player characters, there will be no discussion of adult topics or complex ethics. Therefore, this game is great for younger players who can handle horrible things happening to their characters and can keep focus at the table.
