Nice session report with Shadowdark. What's your opinion on this game?

Yup, unified resolution mechanics tend to be easier for new players to grasp. (I suppose a good comparison would be if Call of Cthulhu had you bust out a d20 to resolve breaking and entering.)

Shadowdark (like White Box: FMAG) replaced the d100 thief skills table with a simple, "Roll advantage on Thief type ability checks." It's a personal preference thing, but I like it.
