Justification
---------------
This Packet was headed up by my Shadowlord Subcoord here are their words below:
Yo ho! Hello! It’s A, the newly-ish minted Shadow Lord Subcoord.
The Shadowlord Packet has been LONG overdue for an update (like, holy shit, it’s been 17 years. That's like. Almost so long as I’ve been alive). The genre has vastly changed from its roots-- but its players are still going strong, and getting reasonably lost in the weeds. My intention with this packet is to inform newer and older players, create a new standard for the genre, and various opportunities for PCs to use, play, and explore it further.
I’ve gotten this reviewed Shadowlord players I could contact across the US.
Thank you for your time!
A, your Shadow Lord Subcoord
