By the Shadow
A roleplaying game set in a shadow world inhabited by the dead. Players portray either deceased characters who remain in this realm or occultists drawn to its mysteries, with some dead able to interact with the living world and others unable to do so. Character creation and play use a straightforward version of the Fudge rules. The setting describes the world of the dead, while the adventures section provides plot hooks for further development.
