Secrets of the Shadowlands

Legend of the Five Rings RPG 2nd Edition

by Jed Carleton, Shawn Carman, Seth Mason

"Turn away, foolish samurai, lest you find what you see in the shadows to your liking." – Daigotsu, Dark Lord of the Shadowlands

Secrets of the Shadowlands explores the eternal enemy of the Empire, the Shadowlands. Shrouded and mysterious, the only thing known for certain to lie beyond the Great Wall is inevitable corruption. But what happens after a samurai’s soul is taken by darkness? That is only the first step on a longer journey. Within, you will find:

* The history, traditions, and territory of the Shadowlands Horde, including such groups as the Diagotsu, Chuda, Tsuno Bloodspeakers, and Shadowlands ancestors.
* New mechanics for Tainted characters, including Bloodspeaker magic and Shadowlands ancestors.
* A description and walkthrough of the Wall of Bones, the Dark Lord’s response to samurai who venture too far in his Lands.

1.5 stars really. Lots of typos, but found a couple of plot ideas that could be used in a game.
