Witness the beginning of a great adventure! Shadis: the Science Fiction
and Fantasy magazine was started as a small press magazine in 1990 by Jolly
R. Blackburn - the first step in what would eventually become the Knights of
the Dinner Table magazine! Originally a photocopied publication, we've made
it available just as it originally appeared, now in a form unimagined at the
time.
Shadis provides a myriad of articles to enhance your role-playing, along with
fiction, reviews, and much more!
Fans of Knights of the Dinner Table, as well as HackMaster,
will recognize familiar writers and creators, as well as early references to the
lands of Alderac (eventually to be HackMaster's Aldrazar/Garweeze
Wurld). Set your wayback machine to 1992 and download this classic PDF for
yourself!
