I was wondering if there was any comprehensive list related to the Plane of Shadow, and any class/feat/power/spell/etc related to Shadow. Any edition, any setting, including third party material, magazines, novels, etc. The best I could find was this:

http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Plane_of_Shadow

I'm particularly interested in any supplements and other books that address the Plane of Shadow. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are you looking for things strictly 3E, or are you willing to look at other stuff for ideas?

Tome of Magic has an entire chapter on the Plane of Shadow. There is also a bunch of Eberron material that contain information you're looking for.

PM - I'd be interested in seeing something similar.

Most notably, I'd like to see the best ways to adjuicate the risk involved with the various spells that interact with the Plane of Shadow. Many of them come with some kind of verbiage about possibly "attracting local attention", but then dont really give any way to adjudicate that sort of thing.

Idk about any lists, but I believe Savage species has a shadow and an Umbral template.

Collar of Umbral Metamorphosis gives the dark template which is a weakened version of the shadow template in many ways.

Shadowcraft Mage is the best prestige class that deals with shadows.

There is also:
Telflamar Shadowlord
Shadowdancer
Shadow Adept
Shadowcrafter
Crinti Shadow Marauder

and more!

The last time I put together a character with a background relating to the Plane of Shadow I found most of the relevant materials in five major resources: Dungeon Master's Guide, Manual of the Planes, Planar Handbook, Tome of Magic, and Races of Destiny.

I'm interested in anything. I want to make the Plane of Shadow the center of an upcoming campaign. In addition, I'll probably end up using it as as the main theme/organizing principle for a Pathfinder supplement I'm working on.

So for the campaign I want to be aware of all things Plane of Shadow that I might want to incorporate, especially and cool Shadow themed classes or Feats or spells or whatnot. And for the supplement, I want to avoid accidentally plagiarizing anything anyone else has written.

Here are the Denizens (http://www.planewalker.com/denizens-transitive-planes)of the transitive planes by plane walker.

City of Shade in faerun was hidden in the plane of shadow and the later adventures feature it heavily (Cormyr, shadowdale, netheril)
3E Manual of the planes has bits and odds about the plane, including one of my favorite mounts, the ecalypse.
Book of Beasts - Monsters of the Shadow Plane by jon brazier has some monsters too. 3rd party PF.
PF has the Umbral Dragon, Golarion's Nidal (city ruled by shadow mages, a little to BDSM for my tastes though) and the The Great Beyond - A Guide to the Multiverse, which is for 3.5 edition.
Dragon #322 has a metropolis and other stuff about the plane.

There's the Major Artifact, The Shadowstaff, in the DMG. Not much help but it's all I got that hasn't at least been partially mentioned.

Im in to say: This is relevant to my interests.

Also, have a look at Umbral Disciple from ToM.

Hmm, that thread would seem to cover everything the OP wanted.

You might want to check 4E's Shadowfell stuff, then. It's 4E, but it does have some cool, useful flavor.

One thing I've not yet seen mentioned: Gloaming, from Underdark.
They are a planetouched race descended from denizens of the plane of shadow.

The Birthright campaign setting (AD&D) had its own take on the plane of shadow. I don't remember it well but it was a specifically evil and twisted version of the reality it was reflecting IIRC.
