Something about the fervor in that writing process made me think I was onto something important, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you. Shadowdark poured out of me with a kind of enthusiasm I don't often experience, even as a full-time writer working in a genre I love. In short, this book is how Dungeons & Dragons would look if I had written it from scratch. It captures all I love about old school D&D, new school RPGs, and many of the ideas that have grown out of the TTRPG world in the last 20 years.
