Black Book EditionsWe’re delighted to announce that in addition to the Portuguese edition of Shadow of the Demon Lord being in the works, our friends at Black Book Editions is launching a French translation of the game. You can find the details in French here, but here’s what they have to say in English:

As many might already now, here at Black Book Editions we love fantasy settings. So when D&D, Numenera and Warhammer veteran Robert Schwalb announced that he was developing his own game, we were certainly intrigued! After a very successful Kickstarter campaign, we all got to discover Shadow of the Demon Lord –  and we weren’t deceived! A simple to grasp system that offers lots of possibilities and a dark setting that will highlight those heroic moments of your characters (as long as they can resist the corruption of course…), the ones who have the force and will to oppose the Demon Lord! We were hooked and we are now proud to announce our partnership with Schwalb Entertainment to bring this game to France in 2017, starting off with a selection of its best adventures and rules supplements available so far! We will soon be walking in the shadows together!

I’m super excited to be teamed up with these guys and I know they will do an excellent job spreading the shadow across the world!

 

Odd Monsters: Monstrous Pages for Shadow of the Demon Lord

Odd Monsters: Monstrous PagesMonsters abound in the lands of Rûl, from horrid, spiderlike lash crawlers to ferocious dragons, and everything and anything in between. Monsters encompass a wide range of creatures, but their inability to fit within the natural order and their strange capabilities unite them as a single kind. Most monsters are unique creatures, strange in form and erratic and aggressive in behavior.

Although some kinds, through frantic breeding, have established themselves as a species or, more rarely, as a people. Odd Monsters examines the boggarts, one of the most violent and rapacious peoples to trouble the Empire and whose incessant raids threaten to destabilize the crumbling nation’s frontiers. In these Monstrous Pages, you’ll find lore about their origins, behavior, and tactics, rules for customizing boggarts, and several variant boggarts such as the brag and magic-using buggane.

Weight of the Underworld: Lands in Shadow

Weight of the Underworld: Lands in ShadowMortals with souls stained with corruption go to Hell. Most other souls sink down to the Underworld, a place of different horrors, of quiet misery, protracted grief. Here the torment is not punishment but erasure, as everything you are is eaten away by the coruscating wind. Should you awaken to see its grey deserts, rejoice, for you are not in Hell. Then despair, for other agonies await.

Weight of the Underworld joins the other installments of the Lands in Shadow series, each zooming in on one part of the world and providing you with the lore you need to realize the place in play. While most Lands in Shadow deal with places characters can easily reach, this entry examines a place no one wants to go but one where almost everyone winds up. Read on to discover the cold dread of the Underworld.
