iHero put on hold, Shadow is the New Black

So my player's have spoken, We met and discussed our next campaign. The vote was unanimous of those present and horror was picked. We then narrowed down the setting and they decided they want to try my Shadowblack: The Awakening setting. so here's the skinny.



The system is FATE Core. It is a newer system based off of Fudge (I guess). I literally discovered it by accident and because the publishers let you download a copy for free I was able to read it before buying. I won't go into huge detail about it here because I intend to do a more thorough review after some gameplay.

The basics of the Shadowblack campaign are such:

• The supernatural exists. Evil stalks the unsuspecting and remains hidden in the dark while we explain it away as psychosis, superstition or hoax.
• Sometimes when a normal person encounters this evil they survive but are forever changed and marked by it.
• People who have witnessed the "shadow" are called "awakened". The awakened literally bear a mark of evil. Some form of discoloration or stigmata that represents their encounter.
• This mark bestows unnatural power but at a cost. Using this power slowly but surely begins their descent into something awful.

I will be posting to the blog background and campaign info.
