Topic: Shade of the Sinking Plain - available as legal download?

[Raphael Pinthus]

Hi all,

Title says it all - is the classic Loremaster module available in digital form, and legally?
I've checked the usual venues, like DTRPG, etc. but it appears the booklet's no (yet?) up there.

Did I somehow overlook it, or is the PDF quite simply not for sale?

Thanks a lot,

Rafe

Raphael Pinthus,
 Welcome to the ICE Forums.


 I do not know the answer to your question as I volunteer and do not work with the part of the company that does all of the publishing. But I am sure someone will answer your question ASAP.

Thank you! I used to play MERP - more the card game than the RPG - extensively in my youth, by the way, so this is really sort of a homecoming to me.

Unfortunately Shade of The Sinking Plain is one of the Old ICE modules which is in a copyright limbo so it is not legally available to purchase. However a new module for that region of Shadow World is well underway and is having its second draft checked by Terry.

Best wishes,

Interesting. I have often wondered where Shade takes place as there is no reference in the book to anything... Kulthean. Are you referring to the new Wuliris book?

Thanks,

Ah, too bad! Any chance one can obtain a printed copy, somewhere?

Amazon lists this module at around 600 $... And as a dear the hobby is to me, that's a wee bit too much.

ebay.com has an auction of it with a starting price of US$39.99. Ending in a bit over a day.

Destyar, I don't know where the original module was set, but there's an upcoming thing provisionally titled something like The Priest King of Shade, which may be in the same area.

Thanks. Will look into it.

According to Terry on this thread: http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=10154.0, it was never placed into Shadow World.

Here's a placing of it in Middle-Earth: http://merp.wikia.com/wiki/Sinking_Plain

Well, you can put a lot of things on MERP map...
There's even a Mur Fostisyr somewhere up top... that does look strangely like the Kulthean version.

But yes, Shade is one of the few books that are just ( almost ) impossible to put on Kulthea.

There's a reason for that...
