The Shadows are on our side!

"Catalyst: Shadow Parliament" by Alexander Jerabek, Bennett Durlee, and Parker Thompson

Printed and Distributed by Cherry Picked Games

ISBN-13: 978-1-329-76811-6 -- 48 Pages

In the Catalyst Core Rulebook, we discovered that a vast unknown war was raging across our planet between the forces of Good (Angels, etc.) and the forces of Evil (Demons and Devils, etc.). This unusual take on post-apocalyptic games is a lot more interesting to me! I'm not sure if I ever want to look at another Zombie game again!

You should already have players that have created characters using the Catalyst Core Rulebook to use in this mini-campaign. If not, there are four characters at the back of the book they can use. This booklet is supposed to cover three to five players, and last about seven sessions. This booklet is meant for players that have characters who have already been contacted by The Shadows and what happens to them once they are made aware of the interdimensional war between the realms of Demons and Devils, and the realms of Angels on our world. No player should ever read this rulebook.

GMs should be familiar with the Catalyst Core Rulebook before reading or trying out this module. While the Shadow Parliament and Majestic-12 both work against Demonic powers, the group known as "The Illuminati" works with the other side.

There are 34 example characters at the back of the book. Four of those are ordinary people, but with the new magical powers within them awakened. There are also 17 Illuminati characters, and nine Demon types for the GM's use during play. The four shadows make the best to use for your players to become if they just want a pre-written character.

This booklet makes a good choice to use as an introductory adventure. If you bought the Catalyst Core Rulebook, this booklet would make a fine choice to get as your second Catalyst book. Highly recommended.
