Mists of Akuma: Imperial Matchmaker (Shadow of the Demon Lord)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

An immense urban sandbox and eastern fantasy noir mega adventure
for Shadow of the Demon Lord that takes
4–6 characters from 1st through 10th level!

An enmity between the Gekido, Hakaisuru, Kirai, and Namida clans has persisted for ages, the wounds from the Battle of Broken Spears torn open every few years by border skirmishes and trade disputes. Seeking to win the minds of the people by a grand gesture during these dark times, Emperor Hitoshi Masuto has arranged an alliance between the quarreling noble families—20 brides and grooms have been chosen to wed in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the decisive final battle in the rebellion against more than a century of foreign occupation. 

Imperial Matchmaker Weddings Decree

Whether the adventurers seek honor and glory by protecting these fiancees or choose to line their pockets by ensuring the unions never come to pass, opportunity knocks at their door as the bengoshi of several clans sift through the mercenaries and spellswords that walk the streets of Sanbaoshi. To rise above the chaff in the capital of the Imperial Prefecture the PCs must be willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals and survive among their cutthroat competition, the corrupting Mists of Akuma, and any designs of the monstrous forces keen to strike a foothold anew in Soburin. 

What's to be found in Imperial Matchmaker?

  • Statistics for over 130 monsters and NPCs! No matter where the party goes or who they interact with GMs will quickly be able to provide Health, attack bonuses, and everything else they might need to populate the world, creating a dynamic and seamless environment around the adventurers.
  • Over 40 maps including an insane 2-page isometric illustration of Sanbaosh by Indi Martin! The urban sandbox where most of the mega adventure takes place has a staggering amount of cartography to make certain GMs are never hard-pressed when figures are needed.
  • 120 pages of material focused on the capital of the Imperial Prefecture! With NPCs and maps galore the detail poured into Sanbaoshi make its chapter a book unto itself, making this an outstanding addition to any GM's collection (whether running the mega adventure or not).
  • New enchanted relics including the sheathe ring and black glass dagger, as well as innovative rules for Absentee & Memorial cards!
  • The Mists of Akuma Iconics! The book's appendix includes all the ancestries and paths from the setting book that you'll need to play as the iconics with sidequests woven into Sanbaoshi (plus a new Tsukumogami ancestry).
  • New Expert Paths! Put your allies (or pet) into a frenzy with the Mad Floutist expert path, use a deadly bladed brush to turn painting into reality as a Genjitsugaka, become an agent of ancestral powers and pierce through the veil of time with the Soothsayer expert path.
  • A unique adventure unlike any you've played before! There are 10 high profile matrimonies set to take place in this gigantic module but so very much more awaiting the PCs as they walk the streets of Sanbaoshi: specialized sidequests for the Mists of Akuma iconics, unexpected trials like Nobukai Bamboo Grove, and virtually endless intrigues amongst the gangs, criminal organizations, noble clans, and other folk that make their homes in the capital of the Imperial Prefecture.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
