Enter The Shadowside - DESTINY

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Some games are about winning and others are about telling a story; Enter the Shadowside is very much about telling a story -a story about the dark days before the End of the World, and about the seven mysterious organizations which compete for occult power, travelling back and forth between our realm and the realm of the dead while everything unravels. 

Through "Hierogamy" characters are matched and joined with spirit partners -ghosts who ride inside their heads and grant them paranormal power in return for the luxury of riding flesh-and-bones once again, and escaping the Shadowside.

It's all good yarn to spin stories, but sometimes having to roll too many dice or having to remember too many rules can get in the way of even the best of stories: this is why Enter the Shadowside uses DESTINY.

DESTINY is a completely math-less system which uses regular poker cards instead of dice. As a player you hold in your hand certain cards which will result in success and certain cards which will result in failure. While you can't choose to simply succeed forever, you can choose when to fail, and as far as DESTINY is concerned, both successes and failures are equally useful to build this really good story we've been talking about, and which is our goal.

I hope this resonates with you. This book is a labor of love which summarizes many years of running sessions and caring -truly caring- about that certain magic that only happens when you step back in your role as Creator, and simply allow the stories and characters to just happen, hands off, to just flow and develop on their own as if they had their own lives and souls apart from ours.

Because they do. And that's as close to real magic as we can get in this world.

Hi Andrew!
I apologize: I didn't see your question in the preview version -it's been so hectic with the kickstarter in full swing. But that wrapped up this morning, so here we are!

The main difference between this version and the previous is the mechanics. The first version, with the Jacob's Ladder, was very "crunchy" -and I came to believe that numbers got in the way of the story. This new version should be much easier to work with. The "fluff" has been expanded too -there is a lot more content. Here's an article which may help answer your question, but if it doesn't by all means feel free to email me at blacksmith@fableforge.org or visit us at reddit.com/r/shadowside, or post again here (I promise to check it more often from now on!). Here's the article: http://trollitc.com/2014/11/guest-post-from-marco-leon-creator-of-enter-the-shadowside-number-crunching-my-there-and-back-again/

Thanks for the response, it was quite helpful.

Im not sure you are aware of this, but your preview still lists under a search for 'Enter the Shadowside' products. Its a dead link that just leads no where, but your new Destiny product isnt even listed. I had to list all products by your company to find this page again. This might mean your only listing most will see will be on that 'New Products' ribbon, which has moved far away by now, and the aforementioned publisher search. Thats a little woky and might make it harder for customers to find your new book.

Peace.

Hey, I had to ask. I downloaded the preview of this book, and I asked a question on its Discussions. I dont think I read the answer and now the sample download of this book isnt up anymore. So I will have to ask it again.

I have the whole 'Enter the Shadowside' bundle. So I am invested in this product, but I have to ask. How does this book relate to the last products you had before? Is this a 2nd edition? Or a version using the poker cards. Or is this an expansion of what you had before? I thank you in advance for your response.

Keep up the good work.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
