My d&d group tried daggerheart for a few sessions. It felt very incomplete. We have discussed trying draw steel, but I could not get everyone to commit.

What felt incomplete about it to you?

I absolutely love Shadowdark. I just can't find anyone to play it with. Fantastic game, though.

Shadowdark has very appealing features
It's a nice refreshing meal of OSR while still holding a 5E blankey.

I totally agree, and apparently so do a lot of people. :)

I understand that in some countries, Call of Cthulhu is more popular than D&D, based mainly on a series of video interviews by Don't Stop Thinking asking about various DungeonTubers' local scenes. Pathfinder was also lesser-known outside the US at the time of those interviews, though that might have changed by now since the interviews happened before the OGL debacle of 2023.

I recall Call of Cthulhu is huge in Japan.
pteryx@dice.camp · 1 pts · 82d
Yep! The relative smallness of D&D in Japan is only secondarily about Sword World existing, and primarily about just how popular CoC is there, from what I can tell. CoC seems to just generally be better-known internationally than Pathfinder is, or was at the time at least.
