Intemperate Shadows

Discover the source of the scratching in the garden shed. Escape the disaster at Meitner base. Fight your undead grandmother in the crypt beneath City Hall.

Intemperate Shadows is a gmless, no-prep horror-adventure system for four players. Create your own monster movie, building from a subtly sinister opening scene to a no-holds barred showdown at the game's conclusion. Over the course of a three to four hour game, you'll pass control of the monster from one player to the next as a series of desperate decisions pushes your characters closer and closer to victory--or destruction.

This is a revised edition of the original. We've updated a few mechanics, removed extra text, and included new layouts for printing and digital display.

Note: When you print the physical sheets to make booklets, print using actual size instead of fit to page–otherwise some headers will be misaligned.
