If there is one creature that has universally fascinated and frightened humanity, it is the vampire. Immortal monsters dragging themselves forth from their graves in pursuit of fresh blood, vampires have captivated and terrified us for countless generations. Death's Shadow: The Book of Vampires combines traditional vampire myths and legends with the unique planar perspective of the Karma Roleplaying System to present a sourcebook for storytellers looking to create epic adversaries and players looking to explore darker character themes.
Death's Shadow expands upon the ideas presented in The Cosmology of Karma and Karmic Monsters to provide storytellers with a more detailed look at various strains of vampirism. Use this information to better integrate vampire NPCs into storylines, or to develop storylines that can support vampire player characters. This supplement will include:
The Role of Vampires in the Karma Multiverse: Vampires aren't just random monsters. They actually serve a real role in the multiverse. Unlock the mysteries behind their true origins.
The Power of the Blood: Two new creature templates: Vampire Spawn and Thrall. Both are suitable for both NPCs and PCs, allowing storytellers to take their stories in exciting and dark new directions. Plus information on various Vampire Strains, derived from legend and myth.
Scholars, Sinners, and Sociopaths: As creatures with no Faith or Empathy, how exactly do vampires manage to hide among their mortal prey? Uncover the truth behind vampire cults, secret orders, and the bizarre sects that assist vampires in their charade.
Those that Hunt the Dead: Learn about the enemies that stalk vampires. Werewolves, dwarven vampire slayers, holy champions, and others.
Scheduled for release June 1.
