Shadowdark RPG for Non-Dungeon DMs

GODLESS is important to Knucklepunk Games because we genuinely believe it is bringing something important to players and those transitioning into the Shadowdark RPG. Namely: playing Shadowdark dungeonless.

Not every DM likes to run dungeons. Many DMs hate dungeons and others simply struggle to set up a compelling, multiroom dungeon full of original treasures, factions and traps. Dungeons are not for everyone, and that is where GODLESS steps in as a setting. Through GODLESS, DM's recieve a setting (and ideas for their own settings) for playing Shadowdark in a world exploration, travel adventure format, without compramising Shadowdark's essential factors. Put more simply: GODLESS' world operates like Shadowdark's dungeon so that you don't have to build a dungeon. 

That doesn't mean GODLESS has no dungeons. But the dungeons are smaller, climactic conclusions to a dangerous travel quest, rather than the main, centralized locale for the majority of an adventure. 

We hope GODLESS is a helpful resource and attracts more players to what is a very fun and compelling system. Soon, we will have more GODLESS content to share with you, specifically a level 1 adventure to better flesh out our "the world is a dungeon" playstyle. We will also have another setting locked a loaded soon, so strap in.
