Why not host your own realm just for your friends, or open access to everyone? The Realm Manager is a Windows App that is a free to download to all subscribed account holders and can be installed on a variety of hosting services. Choose your own conflict-type, and set future options/mods. Run your own realm - your way.

Money is tight for everyone these days. If you would like to donate crypto to the cause to help with server, hosting, domain, and certificate costs it would help me tremendously.

New version of the Launcher should drop later today. Current versions will automatically upgrade. Due to the new way characters are stored, a complete character wipe has been performed. LD.

We're on the way towards getting our EV code signing cert, which will stop those scary popups by Windows when installing the game. Hopefully a new version of the installer will be up within the next few days. LD.

Good news everyone! The ShadeFell forums are now online and ready for beta-testing. Please check out the forum rules before posting. Feedback is invited in the Feedback forum. At a later stage, in-game characters will be linked to your forum account so you can post "in-character". Enjoy!
