Foreword

What is Shadowfall?

Shadowfall is a fan-based collection of rules I made over the years meant to enhance the normal world of Darkness experience. It is meant to allow the players to have a higher level of freedom and options while playing the game. It takes ideas from other D&D style game systems such as Pathfinder, D&D, Shadowrun and others to attempt to enhance the roleplaying experience. I mainly started writhing the rules up as I enjoyed elements from old and new World of Darkness and did not like the fact that a game system with such a rich lore felt so limited. I wanted to be able to allow my players to play a mixed group of supernatural creatures and have access to a wide selection of abilities and customization, something that I feel had been lost with the newer World of Darkness books.
So, to keep it simple Shadowfall is simply my Storyteller notebook of extra rules and spice I like to add to the game.

How to use Shadowfall?

It is really up to you. You can use some of the rules or all of them if you chose.
For instance, I do run my games by using a board for certain combat situations, as I feel it adds an idea of space to the game, but there is no real need for it. You can just browse the reworked supernatural powers for some of the creatures of the night or decide to apply the whole range of rules included, or you might like the reworked character sheet and damage system and go for that. The choice is yours.
Just be mindful that the system is based on the blood dice from the newer Vampire the Masquerade editions so if that is not up your alley you may want to substitute it for something else.

Future Improvements

As I play the fan made rules, I continuously improve upon them, so changes are likely to be never ending. You are more than welcome to provide your own input on the systems included as it can only lead to an enhanced experience down the track.
