A limited Shadows of Malice reprint is now in the works. I've arranged for financing and am preparing to start the next revision of the new rule book. Several folks took a look at the first draft and provided very useful feedback -- thanks for that (and you are free to discuss the updates to the rule book as you wish)!

The game should hit the street by Gen Con 2019. Pre-orders will ship as soon as I get them (hopefully around May or June 2019). The game will be the same as the original release with two changes:

1. An updated rule book (free download will be available), and
2. TM symbols will be changes to registered trademark symbols (circle-R)

If anyone knows any one who might be interested in participating in the pre-sale, they may do so at deviousweasel.com. The basic information is:

1. You pay now.
2. You reserve your copy of the game at 25% off the MSRP ($45 USD).
2. You may order 1 or 2 copies of the game per order. NO MORE!
3. Your purchase will be sent out when I get the product in summer 2019.
4. US orders will be shipped at no charge.
5. International orders will get $15 off shipping costs (automatically included at checkout).

Thank you all for your continued support.

I've finished the first version of the updated and revised rule book for Shadows of Malice ahead of its reprint this year. You can find it here: www.deviousweasel.com/som0/ (just click on the rule book image below the main image on the page). Feel free to send me any comments or corrections if you are so inclined. It's a free PDF.

The rule book is fully consistent with the existing game, but makes things easier (e.g., movement) and implements an action system for avatars, Shadows, and Xulthûl. It also lays out 4 methods for rolling d*s in combat that allow you to make tradeoffs between play speed and outcome variability.

If you enjoyed Shadows of Malice, I think that the new rule book will make it more enjoyable for you. My intent is for the new rule book to simply supplant the original rule book for the same game.

No component changes other than a new rulebook and removing the symbols from the map edges. I wanted it to be a reprint, not a new edition.

Awesome... so was the idea with the symbols on the side of the map edges just to get more potential combinations in play?

The symbols were to allow people to construct the world as I envisioned it. There really is no need... and taking away the edge symbols will better encourage people to mix and match tiles on their own.

The Shadows of Malice reprint MPC is approved. Assembly has been initiated. I should get a small air shipment delivered just before Gen Con. It should be enough to satisfy pre-orders and leave some to sell at Gen Con.

Is there a black&white printer-friendly version of the new rulebook somewhere?

Thanks.
