About the bundle:
Hero! Through unholy rites we’ve resurrected (for a fourth time!) our May 2017 Shadow of the Demon Lord Bundle featuring Shadow of the Demon Lord, Robert J. Schwalb’s tabletop fantasy roleplaying game of grim heroism against a cosmic destroyer.
This revival promotes the launch of Rob Schwalb’s long-awaited Shadow of the Weird Wizard Kickstarter campaign, which funds a standalone FRPG of exotic fantasy using a new version of the Demon Lord rules. The Weird Wizard campaign launched Tuesday, August 8 and reached its US$30,000 funding goal in 16 minutes.
In the fast-playing, low-prep Shadow of the Demon Lord, desperate heroes battle strange magic, unhinged cultists, and roaming mobs of undead while humanity’s last great empire slides toward oblivion. If you love Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, the Ravenloft and Midnight settings, Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law novels, or heavy metal music, get this revived bundle of DRM-free .PDF ebooks and confront the Void That Hungers – or, as star designer Kenneth Hite describes it, “Pure Spikey Caustic Red-Hot Squirming Deliquescing Rugose Gonna-Bite-Your-Fingers-Off Horned Fetid Monstrous EVIL.”
For just US$7.95 you get all five titles in this revived offer’s Starter Collection (retail value $41) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete 278-page Shadow of the Demon Lord corebook, the Demon Lord’s Companion, the Uncertain Faith sourcebook of divine magic, and the fine introductory adventure Dark Deeds in Last Hope.
And if you pay more than the threshold price of $18.67, you’ll level up and also get this revival’s entire Bonus Collection with six more delicious gobbets of evil worth an additional $51. What’s in these sourcebooks? The titles speak for themselves: Hunger in the Void, Tombs of the Desolation, A Glorious Death, Terrible Beauty, and Exquisite Agony. Plus, Tales of the Demon Lord is a collection of 11 low-prep adventures across the Northern Reach, and the Demon Lord Screen gives you all the charts you need.
