This is my latest creation, a work-in-progress but functional as-is, so I thought I’d share it. After watching the film Sinners and reading through Ken Hite’s interesting game Night’s Black Agents, I found myself wanting to play in that Jason Bourne vs. Vampires kind of genre.
NBA is a great game, but it requires a lot of handling time – and the dice mechanic is not to my taste, frankly, for a couple of reasons. So I looked at Cthulhu Dark, and thought of combining the simplicity of those mechanics with risk from EZD6, and adding in some inspiration from the colorful combat options in NBA. For Chargen, I went for quick, roll-or-choose tables for everything from the name to background events, that I find fun to use. I like chargen that’s a fun part of the game rather than laborious number crunching. And so, Shadow Dominion is born!
I hope to try it out this Friday in a one-shot. If you try it out, please let me know your experience!
