Darkfast Dungeons is a tabletop RPG/Tactical War game for 1 to 4 players. The game is very well thought out and includes dozens of beautifully drawn cutout characters.
The game starts by picking a character, fighter, rogue, cleric or magic user and then randomly selecting talent cards and spell cards. This helps flesh out your character and provides some individuality. Blank cards are provided so you can create your own new combinations.
Gameplay includes random selection of room cards, and room contents. Tables are provided if you prefer rolling 6-sided dice instead of drawing cards, less clutter on your playing surface. Action is handled by rolling a six sided die, adding your ability score and comparing the result to a challenge, a monster, trap or secret.
Theres a lot a variety in the game and plenty of flexibility. i like the Abilities score, a single bonus to represent your character's skill set. This is a nice compromise to the extensive skill system you may see in more complex RPGs that can bog down a solo game.
The game is simple enough for quick play and deep enough to keep your interest. Replay is phenomenal. Okum Arts has also produced a couple adventure modules if you'd like a bit of story to guide and entertain you. These are also very well done and really capture the essence of AD&D old school.
I play mainly solo these days and I've tried a few different systems. They've all been very good, but this was my favorite. The author/artist is also very welcoming and accessible. He answered some questions right away. I'm looking forward to future updates and content.

I've always been happy to find something in the Okum range which fits my purpose, but this one went a little beyond "generally useful". Straightforward construction with a couple of decent "dungeon stone" options, but what sent me into ecstasy was a third option, beautiful rough red brick! It opens up dungeon corridor options into a more modern erea, Lovecraftian horror, apocalyptic and so on. Thank you Mr Okum!

I love this set. It has amazing artwork and it is currently the only set I have printed twice. A good way to add some variety to your dungeon crawl.

Another great set of paper mini's. I love getting surprised by the extra's in every set. the heroes are shown and David Okum added another page of villains. This means that you could play with only this set and have a few sessions worth of material. However, I would advice adding some other pulp sets as generic mooks, like the ones in the pulp gangsters set. (They are not in here).
This set gives out the feel that a gun can still cause major problems for supers. If you want the golden age of superheroes, you probably want to start with the "save the day" series instead.

Like in general all OkumArts sets, this contains a good selection of monsters 21 monsters, almost all of which have unique poses. It is great if you are indeed using a greek setting but also in D&D these monsters can get good use.
Note that the heroes and the ruins in the photo's are from another set. I understood that when buying this set so I will not penaltize this set for it. Please be aware of it before buying.

I really wish I had gotten these earlier. They populate my Toppi Saloon quite well. Thanks for another quality set

Incredibly funny and more in-depth than expected, which only made it more ridiculous. Doesn't seem too useable on it's own but it's a funny way of making characters for other systems. Grandmothers Against the Cult of Elemental Evil for example.

With this set you get your standard urban environment or suburban main street with stores and such. The tiles are well done as you would expect by David. They match up smoothly and seamlessly to create larger city layouts.
Now comes the bonus stuff, which really should be mentioned in the description. As usual, David spoils you with 13 cars (including 2 police cars and 2 vans, the rest sedans), crates, upturned garbage cans, rubble, bags of trash, toxic barrels, and road barricades all done in the same top-down fashion as the tiles.
This is a superduper buy if you need top-down urban areas for your games of choice. Five stars and two thumbs up!

Great set, especially as its FREE! There are a few chickens in here that look like Foghorn Leghorn on a bad day. Fun!

Another winning set by this artist. I only gave it 4 stars because now I need a set of Vikings with bows and 2 handed axes, as well as someone for my Vikings to fight like a set of saxons or generic medieval folks. These guys work equally well as barbarian fodder for PCs to mow down.
Thank You!

As always, David Okum has smashed this set into orbit. This little package contains a great spread of useful characters with personality. The use of bonus content and layers makes this item extremely good value for the money and I highly recommend it.

Bonus PDF is blank, but a PNG has been added to the file that contains all the bonus characters.

Hi Joseph B.
This might be a software issue on your end. I haven't encountered this problem before and when I opened the file all was well.
Update your Adobe software and all should be well. I've noticed this trend on your other reviews as well.
If there is still a problem please contact me at okumarts at rogers dot com
Thank you,
David |

This is the first set in the Retro Space line of figures. It was one of David Okum's early figure sets, so it offers only four color layers and no bonus figures. Even so, you get twelve great retro-science fiction figures in skin-tight spacesuits armed to the teeth with ray guns and equipped with rocket packs. There are four color layers, so you can make them out to be from four different divisions of one Space Patrol or from four different Space Patrol organizations alltogether. More color choices would have been nice, as would have been the ability to turn off the text or remove the Patrol-Person's helmets. This is still 48 fantastic retro-sci-fi figures in dynamic poses for $2.45 and that's a deal you can't beat with a cyber-stick.
All the figures are human, or human-looking, and are decked out in a nearly skin-tight space suit complete with a transparent, bubble helmet, a ray gun of some type, and a rocket pack. Their spacesuit features two yellow circlets mounted on their shoulders similar to those seen on many seen in many old comic book and sci-fi magazines long ago. The patrolpersons are equipped with knee-high boots, a gun belt, a holster on their left hip, gloves, and straps on their rocket pack that come over their shoulders. These are all yellow and don't change color. Their uniforms cover their bodies from boots to gloves to helmet and they have a cap inside their helmet, too, that is similar to the sort that astronauts in the 60's and early 70's wore inside their helmets. All of these items may be in one of four colors as the owner desires. The choices are magenta, cyan, red, and green. The colors are all on the bright side to make the uniforms look shinier, I suppose. They are rather smart looking. Most of the characters are armed with rather large looking ray pistols that are blue-gray and red. Only one has his weapon holstered. The rest have their weapons out and look ready for action. There is one character armed with a smaller looking ray pistol, one armed with a beam rifle, and one armed with a shoulder-fired heavy energy weapon.
The figures definitely capture the Buck Rogers/Flash Gorden or Tom Corbett: Space Cadet feel, but they are in David Okum's unique cartoon/anime-influenced style. The poses are very dynamic and lend a sense of excitement to gameplay. These figures aren't really meant to portray player characters, but they could. They are meant to portray a set of galactic good guys, or space police force. How you use them is up to you. If your campaign is based on the players being part of such an organization, well these are perfect. If not, these are perfect for the guys that come to the rescue when the players need it, pull a cargo inspection when they don't need it, and defend the galaxy the rest of the time. This is a good set to have.
