Adventures in the Plane of Shadows?

First Post
I've been putting together a series of encounters for my players who will be traveling through the Plane of Shadows as part of our upcoming game. I've used bits and pieces from different books that I have for inspiration and generally I'm satisfied with what I've got. But on a whim I tried to find some PDF's that might have been written about this rather iconic feature of many settings, but I wasn't able to find anything.

Does anyone know of a good adventure or setting book based in the Plane of Shadows?

I remember some adventures in the plane of shadow published in Dungeon years back you'll have to search at Paizo website, it's not a very used plane for adventure.
Issue 59: Seeking Bloodsilver, I don't find the other one.

I used the Amber novels as inspiration as well as the Wheel of Time novel's "dark ways" for describing things when my party went shadow walking. There is a Wheel of Time d20 book by WotC but I don't remember much of its coverage of the dark wind and the ways.
 


Dunno about PDFs offhand, but if you haven't seen it, Cormyr: Tearing of the Weave has plenty of Shadow plane encounters in it. Also, I think this is vague enough to avoid spoilers, but I like how it has one location that the PCs can explore in the Material plane, and then shift over to the Shadow plane and re-explore the shadow-version of the same location.
 


It's a small part of the adventure, but in the upcoming 7th adventure for War of the Burning Sky, to find a lost city you have to pass through a maze that is partially in the plane of shadow. The city is in a demiplane that can only be accessed through the maze, which throws you out if you bring light inside.

The adventure will be released in a day or two.

There's also a fairly recent Shadow planar adventure in Dungeon, though the title escapes me. Anyone?

I think it was Gates of Oblivion, from Dungeon #136.

Gates of Oblivion
by Alec Austin

When an adventuring party fails to stop a shadowy ritual, it’ll take powerful heroes to step in to pick up the pieces and prevent the Gates of Oblivion from consuming the Material Plane. A D&D adventure for 18th-level characters.
 

What level are the PCs, Devyn? I ran a 10th level party through a couple of encounters on the plane of shadow just a couple of weeks ago.

One of them was with something I called the Vampiricorn; a unicorn with elite stats and max hd, the vampire template and the shadow creature template from MotP, pluss a few minor tweaks of my own. (I got the idea from the Overlord CRPG, btw. ;) ) I've got a .DOC file of it, if you're interested.

The second encounter was also with the vampiricorn. Since the PCs hadn't found it's crypt, it came back for revenge not long after they "killed" it the first time.

The third encounter was simply a pair of greater shadows.
 

JG ... The players are 6th lv and are trying to survive a 2 day trip in the Plane of Shadow as they go from 1 gate to another.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks.
