The best tabletop RPGs seem to have their own moments when the groundswell of support grows large enough for everyone to notice.

Shadowdark is one such TTRPG, at least on my radar. The dark fantasy is now on the virtual tabletop Fantasy Grounds. Barely a few days ago, Geek Native wrote up the Kickstarter from World Builder Bob and Eventyr Games, Delve, which is an accessory for both 5e and Shadowdark.
Now the tabletop game known for its fast-paced, deadly combat and sword-and-sorcery atmosphere, is now officially available on Fantasy Grounds Virtual Tabletop (VTT).
What is Shadowdark?
Developed by The Arcane Library, Shadowdark RPG blends familiar concepts with new ideas for a fresh take on old-school adventuring. Embark on perilous quests, encounter monstrous foes, and claim forgotten treasures in a world where magic is powerful but risky, and darkness is a constant threat.
