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:
“What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralisation and disorder on the part of the inferior ... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
“‘Whoever it is that leaves him out so late,
When other creatures have gone to stall and bine,
Ought to be told to come and take him in.’”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If we see light at the end of the tunnel,
It’s the light of the oncoming train.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Beneath the sun’s rays our shadow is our comrade;
When clouds obscure the sun our shadow flees.
So Fortune’s smiles the fickle crowd pursues,
But swift is gone whenever she veils her face.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
