Shadow Scar

Welcome to the Shadow Scar Agency!

“Well the day has finally come. After 21 years Shadow Scar has been released as a fully fledge product. Part of me just can’t believe it. The rest of me is so thankful to everyone who made this possible. From my all my friends who helped me build this game to our amazing backers on Kickstarter who made this possible. It took a long, long time but I’m so excited to see what people do with Shadow Scar. I can’t wait to hear about people’s games and their characters and their homebrew content. At the risk of sound too sappy, this is a dream come true for me. So, join me in the worlds of Shadow Scar! If this goes well I’ve got tons of ideas for supplementary books and maybe even some non-book related content to enhance your games.”
