The pages have a gray parchment appearance and the watermark behind the chapter and page numbers is a pentagram (gasp)!
You can see the same font on the cover shown above. The choice of blood red and black as the primary colors is an obvious one, but the unique font for the chapter headings is a nice touch. The two-column layout is clean and the stat blocks are clear and concise. There are 7 pieces of unique art attributed to Jack Kaiser which are evocative of the dark setting.
Tales of the Demon Lord is a visually appealing work. The characters must gain power quickly in order to rise to the challenge of saving Urth from the world-devouring being known only as The Demon Lord.
The campaign consists of a loosely connected series of 11 short adventures which take place in and around the city of Crossings in the Northern Reach. Tales of the Demon Lord is designed for the players to start with new characters who level up after each short adventure. Tales of the Demon Lord is the first campaign written for the Shadow of the Demon Lord role-playing game.
