RPG fans certainly cannot complain about the lack of new products these days. Soon, the Polish edition of the game Shadow of the Demon Lord may hit the market . The fundraising campaign will start on September 28!
Shadow of the Demon Lord , as the game originally bears this title, was originally released in March 2015. Its creator is Robert J. Schwalb, a man who has worked on many role-playing games, including Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer. The action of the game takes place in a world on the brink of apocalypse. A powerful and evil creature known as the Demon Lord brings new disasters to the world. Wherever its shadow falls, chaos and destruction immediately spread. Sometimes it sends earthquakes, droughts or diseases. Other times, he brings demons or zombies. All this to bring about total destruction. Of course, there will also be heroes here who want to save people, but the task will not be easy. You can go mad very quickly here, and every wrong deed leaves a stain on the soul. The corruption that will affect the daredevils who want to contain the evil forces can make them the greatest threat themselves.
This is roughly the plot of the Shadow of the Demon Lord. It is worth mentioning that it was initially funded by fans on Kickstarter. Now everything will also depend on the players themselves. The Polish publisher, AlisGames, is also counting on your support and will soon start a campaign to fund RPG textbooks. Among them we can find:
- Containing over 270 pages of the main manual, in which we will find all the necessary information for the game.
- Manual additional supplement the Demon Lord . It includes a set of rules introducing storyline complications for the player’s character, new expert and master classes, additional magic schools, and a bestiary expansion. We will also get a description of creating characters from Halflings and Fauns, a detailed description of equipment, mixing potions and rules for vehicles.
- The Delightful Agony expansion with a description of Hell, its inhabitants and devils managing the whole business, with Diabolus at the helm. We will learn how the devil’s pacts work, how Hell leaves its mark on the inhabitants of the world, how it was created, and how to find it. The handbook includes new relics, spells, expert and master classes, and additional Hell-related origins. In addition, the appendix includes a detailed bestiary describing the inhabitants of this cursed land. An additional adventure will also be available in it.
- The Tombs of the Wastes handbook , describing the northern tip of the continent of Rul. It contains a description of the endless desert and what is hidden beneath its surface, and also introduces the rules of vampirism, playing as an animator or a fire-born salamander. We also find here new relics, classes and spells, and almost twenty new monsters, including the Lich – the Lord of Death and mummies.
Of course, these are not all the bonuses waiting for players who decide to contribute to this unusual title.
