Congratulations to the Shadowdark team for breaking a million dollars on their Kickstarter on their first day for the Western Reaches expansion! They hit the mark in 12 hours, which is fantastic, and this is what happens when you put quality, respect, a love of the game, and community first.
There is a lot of bad news, especially around D&D, but this is a ray of hope coming through the dark clouds for the hobby.
This helps the OSR and lifts all boats, just like D&D does. Shadowdark draws far more D&D players from that game than it does OSR people from theirs, and the size of this market can be deceiving. This is a massive influx of OSR players from 5E, and they will branch out and try other games. Every OSR game will see a bump from this, and Shadowdark will keep many disaffected D&D players in the hobby.
Congratulations!
