Portuguese text describing an "Elfo."
My second favorite thing that I've learned while reviewing the Portuguese Shadowdark books is that the Portuguese word for "Elf" is "Elfo."
I'm THRILLED to be joining Kickstarter Connect's free webinar: "Bringing Your RPG Zine to Life" on January 13th at 1pm EST!

I am dealing with a VERY frustrating issue with our 3pl and have made myself feel better with some retail therapy by backing @gonzohistory.bsky.social's Booklet of Bounties on Kickstarter!

In my latest newsletter, I discuss how to ratchet-up the tension in Shadowdark by using a Jenga tower as a torch timer

Always happy to help! π€
We've got a lot of good eggs in here, & the helpful attitude & overall positivity only makes Shadowdark more attractive to players coming over from other RPGs or who are just entering the hobby.
In my option, Shadowdark's success is as much about the people as it is the game. Good job, everyone!
I guess what I'm saying is just that it's cool that the Shadowdark community is now kind of EVERYWHERE. It's a big small club that we're in, and as much as it's about the game, it's about the people too.
I've had people tell me I can crash with them if I visit Cyprus, Finland, Denmark, New York, the UK, and more. I've done enough couch surfing in my life (once staying with a porn star... a story for another time) that I absolutely would take these strangers up on their offers. I hope to someday!
When I was in TΓΌrkiye last year, I got to help someone in Istanbul. If only I wasn't at the airport about to leave!
I really pride myself on being personable with folks, not using "customer service speak," & letting people know I'm a person that's as excited to help them as they are for Shadowdark.
When people email from New Zealand, I greet them with the MΔori greeting "Kia ora" (think how everyone uses "aloha" in Hawaii).
I traveled around Slovakia in October, and I've helped no less than THREE customers from there since then, so I've got to share what I enjoyed about their country.
3) It's fun being able to connect with people. Every time someone emails from Colorado, I make sure to say "Hi from Fort Collins" (where I live)....
I handle a few things at The Arcane Library, but one of my favorite things is Customer Service. Here is why... π§΅
1) Everyone is excited and enthusiastic for Shadowdark.
2) When the rare issue comes up, I'm usually able to fix it quickly, which people seem pretty thrilled about.
Yesss!!!! It sounds like the awesome results from generative gameplay! Very cool. Which roll tables gave you which results?
I've got a newsletter going out in the next few days all about this:

The story π
That is amazing!
That lil green check by my name means you'll be getting a lil sci-fi adventure from me if you back this campaign for DarkSpace zine!!!
I've already started writing and am excited about how it's coming along!
Really great video, dude! I love the Shadowdark love! π€π€π€
Mike Shea's patreon is worth $4 a month and many times more. In addition to boatloads of GM resources, you get a bonus podcast each week!
This week it's all about Shadowdark's intro adventure "Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur!"
I think the dream of any youtuber is to not just make videos about what their niche is, but also about what other things they are interested in. I hope these TTRPG videos do well for him and he's encouraged to make more!
Another Shadowdark video by @techdweeb.bsky.social. His production value, the editing, the lighting, the script, the awesome props, are so good. Really cool to see Shadowdark getting attention even from non-D&D youtubers!
The darkness is spreading...
If you ARE an FLGS or know an FLGS that would want to carry Shadowdark, all you/they need to do it shoot an email over to wholesale@thearcanelibrary.com to get set up!
See you there! It should be a BLAST!
I used stickers to build mechs in my game too! Honestly, it was half the fun of the whole game for players π€£
I'm glad to see the same idea make its way into your supplement!
I'm a stretch goal!
Darkspace is a fun hack of Shadowdark, and @crawlclub.bsky.social is publishing the first third-party zine for it!
Weβre getting closer to our $7,000 stretch goal! We canβt wait to print our next set of books for this awesome DarkSpace RPG third party adventure! Compatible with the award winning #ShadowdarkRPG by The Arcane Library.
