Shadow of the Demon Lord - Core Rulebook (Revised Edition)

The world of Urth is ending. Wars, plagues and the schemes of demon princes tear the old empire apart, and behind it all looms the Demon Lord, a hunger from beyond reality pressing against the cracks. Shadow of the Demon Lord is about the reckless souls who stand up anyway: heroes, scoundrels and madmen making their stand in the last days of a dying world.

Designed by Robert J. Schwalb, a veteran of Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, this revised edition of the core rulebook packs a complete dark fantasy game into a single full color hardcover. Characters are made in minutes and grow from level 0 to 10 in a tight campaign arc, combining novice, expert and master paths into hundreds of possible builds.

The rules stay fast at the table: a single d20 roll, with boons and banes nudging your chances up or down instead of stacks of modifiers. Magic is plentiful and dangerous, corruption and madness leave real marks on your character, and the bestiary serves up more than a hundred foul creatures to put in the party's way.

The Game Master gets a detailed campaign region, tools for building adventures, and advice for tuning the horror from grim fairy tale to full-on nightmare. If you like your fantasy fast, dark and a little unhinged, this is the one book you need.
