Always excited to see these in my inbox, a great read for sure.

I playing Kal-Arath right now actually and I'm using some shadowdark tools to flesh out things like the city of Kar-eld and it's locales. The dice have kept me in the city (arrest, lost all my items, etc 😜😭). You made a great game btw!

With that said, I would love to see a heist or city based dungeon crawl (like through a building or sewers). Regardless, what you do. It's both extremely entertaining and a valuable resource for learning and enriching my solo games.

You're appreciated my friend!

Hey! Love the story so far and thank you for the recap. If it's not too much of a hassle, would you be able to transcribe the text from the pictures of your notebook? I find it a bit hard to read your handwriting, especially on mobile. I know phones and/or AI can help do this pretty quickly these days, and I would really appreciate it to help me follow along (definitely keep posting the photos of your notebook, too, because it looks so cool).

Phone image scan has a hard time with my handwriting...I understand it might be kind of tricky to read, but not sure I wanna type everything up either. I’ll try to write a little slower for the stuff I post in the future.

I love your creativity. Thanks also for continuing to highlight cool mechanics from games that maybe haven't gotten enough love.
