Hey all.

Years ago, these boards produced legend by the name of RealmsOfChaos, and one of his greatest [or as he put it, most OCD] projects was known as Descent of Shadows.

Some of the artistic folks on the boards clubbed together to create a fancy pdf of the thing, with pictures and fonts if i understand this correctly, and gave it away free to the community back in the day.

Does anyone possess this rare piece of GitP history, which has seemingly disappeared into the ether, like so much digital stuff is wont to do?

I would be most greatful if anyone could share a copy of this or point me to somewhere that the wonders of homebrew are preserved.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I tracked down this post - https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?74519-Descent-of-Shadows-Project-Shadow-Returns

Also, that user's extended homebrew signature can be found here - https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?60676-The-Homebrewer-s-Extended-Signature&p=11819893#post11819893

You have to go a few posts down to find Realms of Chaos' extended signature.

This (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7pX5JzphJ4ya3YxNl91anlmLTQ/edit) seems to at least be inspired by it, though it looks like it's for Pathfinder.

@Composer99 - I know where I can find the forum stuff, my saved link goes right to the Cultist entry. :smalltongue: They were discussing making the pdf in the later pages. Thanks though.

@Timotei (man, my iPad will not stop trying to correct your romanji name) - cheers, not quite it, but thanks.

This is really just an attempt to track down a piece of forum history. The content is available and was even ineptly ripped off as a 3rd party Pathfinder supplement somewhere, typos and all..
