Tales of the Loremasters (1989) is an adventure anthology for Shadow World. It’s got a breezy pace, covering four large areas and then dozens of small adventure sites in short order. Tony Roberts has a nice Viking-themed painting on the cover that doesn’t quite jibe with my vision of Shadow World. Jennell Jaquays is again on the interior illustrations, which includes a nucklelavee. I was actually going to skip this one, because I don’t have much to say about it, but the nucklelavee tipped the scale. Love that monster.

To fill space, I feel like I should point out the fact that the Shadow World logo is constructed entirely of blades, and I find that terribly amusing for some reason.
