In Shadow of the Weird Wizard you explore the Borderlands and make them safe for refugees escaping the doom that has befallen the old country. Before his disappearance, the Weird Wizard released monsters to roam the countryside – cruel faeries to haunt the shadows – hybrid beasts, multilegged hulking collectors, and floating eyes that hang in the air trailing their nerve endings. Undead drag themselves from their tombs, and ancient evils stir.
A mad sorcerer who commanded eldritch powers of staggering might, the dread mage ruled over all he surveyed. As proof, one only has to look beyond the new lands to the walls of the Forbidden City, where clockwork peoples dwell in seeming servitude.
But the Weird Wizard is gone, and no one knows where. His absence has precipitated a bloody civil war that tears the Great Kingdom apart. Refugees by the thousands pour into the Borderlands territory to make new homes, only to fall to ravenous monsters. The displaced people need heroes to protect them as they rebuild their lives. If the new lands would be tamed, there must be peace with the inhabitants.
Built using the system powering Shadow of the Demon Lord, this game gives you everything you need to champion the innocent, brave grave dangers, and right terrible wrongs, all while exploring the wild frontier of the Borderlands. Like its predecessor, Weird Wizard offers exciting adventures, tight campaigns, streamlined rules, and deep customization that reveals itself as you play. Anyone familiar with d20-based RPGs can understand how the game plays, making it appealing to gamers of all ages and levels of experience.
