The greatest of these entities is the Demon Lord, a being of vast and incalculable power. The Demon Lord hungers. It craves destruction, to feast on mortal souls, to unravel creation. And over the march of eons, the Demon Lord has broken free from the Void to drag one of many realities screaming into its darkness. In the game, the Demon Lord has drawn near to the world and its shadow creeps across the landscape like ink spilled on a map.

    Rob has announced the game and is doing a panel this evening (10/24/14) at GMX in Franklin, TN to discuss the game. I've been authorized to break my NDA and talk about the game. I live in Nashville and have been gaming with Rob for a number of years. This year we've been playtesting the rules for his new RPG Shadow of the Demon Lord released under his own brand (Schwalb Entertainment).

    This weekend we'll be releasing more information about the game and I (along with other playtesters and Rob himself) will be running games of Shadow of the Demon Lord at the convention. This weekend is going to be pretty hectic but I'll try and answer any questions you have that I'm able to answer at this time. The purpose of this thread is to serve as an unofficial clearinghouse for information about the game posted elsewhere and to answer questions about it.
