What is Dim Dark Dread?
A Heroic Dark tabletop roleplaying game built on the 3D1e system. No classes, no flat modifiers. Roll handfuls of dice and flavor your character however you want.
3d20 Skill Checks
Roll 3d20 on every Skill Check with six possible outcomes: Critical Success, Success, Mixed Success, Mixed Failure, Failure, and Critical Failure. Every roll tells its own story.
Critical Damage Cascade
