Lego ® Pirate Wars: Optional Rules

    Shadis specializes in role-playing adventures and product reviews, but also runs fascinating supplemental rules, like this for "miniatures" combat on the Spanish Main--using Lego ® toys.--RL

Causoban: The City that Laughs at Death

    This is more traditional Shadis fare: an adventure in the city of Causoban designed for the EarthDawn fantasy role-playing system--but can be adapted to most other FRPG systems.--RL

Declaration of Independence

The staff of SHADIS is determined to keep this publication independent and bringing our readers the best coverage of the gaming industry available.

Although the Alderac Entertainment Group, publishers of Shadis, publishes game systems and supplements, SHADIS will not become a house organ.

Our policy--written in stone--is that SHADIS will not review products produced by AEG and that AEGis limited to one full-page ad per issue. In addition, articles relaing to AEG games will be limited to two issues per year--not to exceed a combined total of 15 pages for both issues. That works out to 15 pages per 672 published pages of SHADIS.

This policy actually penalizes AEG for being associated with SHADIS rather than having an unfair advantage over other companies. We hope this policy demonstrates our determination to keep SHADIS truly independent.
