Your first steps into the Mosaic are now here! The brand new IP from Cody Pondsmith’s first release has now hit our store and digitally through DriveThruRPG!

R. Talsorian Games is very proud to bring you the Shadow Scar Starter Set!  The Starter Set, which is indeed a box set, marks the very first true release for our brand new game and IP and our first in, well, quite some time!  Earlier this year, we let you peek into the game with the Free RPG Day release of Shadow Scar – Eyes in the Darkness. 

Now with this, you’ll get your true full look before the upcoming release of the Core Rulebook arriving at PAX Unplugged 2024.  Oh yes, we’re saying that right off the bat.  The Core Rulebook itself is only a few months away!

If there was one way to describe Shadow Scar, it would be said best as a true labor of love for Cody Pondsmith.  Cody began work on Shadow Scar very early in his life, taking influences from both anime and video games he found inspiration in to bring together the game he has always dreamed to make.  We’ll take you through what is to be expected in the Starter Set, as well as some additional goodies too to share.

Decades ago, a war between gods spilled out across the many worlds of the Mosaic! Terrible monsters called yokai found their way into the countless dimensions, preying on the unsuspecting natives from the shadows. To counteract this monstrous threat the Shadow Scar Agency was created. This organization of secret agents, trained in the ancient arts of Ninjutsu, scour the multiverse to find the yokai and put a stop to their vile plans.

In Mask of the Green Demon you take the role of one of these agents as you struggle to uncover the identity of an enigmatic kingpin known only as “The Green Demon.” This goal will take you across the Mosaic as you unravel mysteries, discover clues, and face terrible threats.

The Shadow Scar Starter Set is the perfect introduction to the many worlds of the Mosaic and includes:

• Maps and tokens to help bring the world of Shadow Scar to life!

• One booklet full of lore on the worlds and factions of Shadow Scar.

• One booklet with all the essential rules needed to play right out of the box.

• One booklet containing the 52 page Mask of the Green Demon adventure.

• Six customizable characters.

• A set of Shadow Scar-themed dice

Bringing to life Shadow Scar is something we’ve not done alone either. With help from our friends at Loke BattleMats, who provided all of the maps for this box set. If you wish to peek in on the latest thing they’re up to, you can here below.

We also had Syrinscape contribute not only one but TWO SoundSets for Shadow Scar. One released for free for Free RPG Day that anyone can access, and one now alongside the release of the Shadow Scar Starter Set!
