I have Norek. ;D
Actually, I wanted to ask if you put Shadow World modules in with your own World Systems, or just play it as is?

Both. When I ran 3-3.75, I mix and matched KoK(Kingdoms of Kalamar, I swear it’s a thing)! :o
Usually love just keeping it within Terry’s Space Master universe.

I think I never used any Shadow World module out of context. But then again, I never used any adventure idea published for Shadow World either - I picked whatever material I wanted to use (NPCs, floor plans...) and weaved it into my own plots.
Basically, everything is just raw material for inspiration.
The things I get the most mileage from are the campaign modules, because of the maps and cultural info, and the master timeline which I twist and complete as I go.

I went the other way, I put my own world into Shadow World. Nomads of the Nine Nations is the SW adaptation of my primary campaign culture. It took a fair bit of work to get it to where both ICE and I were happy with the blend, but we got there. I'll leave it to others to decide if it "worked."

in the first years, i have been placing Shadow World into the mythical south "Morenore" of Middle Earth.

Hmm, maybe I should pick that up next month. :D

Hey! That's where the Court of Ardor is located! ;D (A Middle Earth module designed and written by Terry K Amthor, the designer and writer of Shadow World, in case you didn't know.)

Nice work!
My wife traced the cover art for a character, she played, from that module. Very well done.

Ah, OK then. I'll allow it. ;D

She traced the cover character? Cool! In my group we all considered that to be my (ex-)wife's rogue character. Not long after it was published, I ran into the artist at a Con and bought a signed copy of it. It turns out it's also the cover to "Free Amazons of Darkover," by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I couldn't be more proud to share that tie!
