Blood Spawn: Creatures of Light and Shadow (2000)
| TSR 3140 - Birthright - Blood Spawn: Creatures of Light and Shadow (2000) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This bestiary was planned for use with the Birthright campaign setting for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game. The Birthright product line was suspended in 1998 before its completion, so Blood Spawn was later published as an 83-page pdf-file and made freely available here. The supplement focuses mainly on monsters of the Shadow World, the fictional dark twin dimension of the setting's world. It contains a page with a table of content, a 10-page introduction with explanation of the monster statistics and special rules for the Shadow World, a part with the descriptions of the fictional monsters that also includes tips for their us in a roleplaying campaign, two roleplaying adventures and a 4-page appendix that lists monsters from other sources fitting into the Shadow World. | ||||

Famous quotes containing the words blood, creatures, light and/or shadow:
“The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Whenever you pray, make sure you do it at school assemblies and football games, like the demonstrative creatures who pray before large television audiences. That is the real goal of the thing. But do not, I urge you, pray all alone in your home where no one can see. That does not get you ratings.”
—Garry Wills (b. 1934)
“There yet remains but one concluding tale,
And then this chronicle of mine is ended—
Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me,
A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord
Put me to witness much for many years
And educate me in the love of books.
One day some indefatigable monk
Will find my conscientious, unsigned work;
Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp
And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust,
He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.”
—Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837)
“O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
