Shadow World (role Playing Game)
''Shadow World'' is a high fantasy campaign setting situated on the fictional planet of Kulthea. Originally produced for the Rolemaster role-playing game system, Shadow World is fairly compatible with other d100 games such as High Adventure Role Playing (HARP), Middle-earth Role Playing (MERP) or Against the Darkmaster. The setting blends traditional fantasy elements, such as elves, dwarves, and magic, with science fiction, including such elements as space and time travel, and, to a degree, futuristic technology. As with Rolemaster and HARP, Shadow World is owned by Iron Crown Enterprises (often referred to as I.C.E.). It was maintained by the primary author of the setting, Terry K.

Like ''Defender'', the action is primarily side-scrolling on a map that wraps around to allow continual travel to the left or right. ''Shadow World'' adds a limited amount of vertical scrolling motion as well. Compared to ''Protector'', ''Shadow World'' has much more action with significant numbers of moving objects. The game also shares elements with his earlier game ''Nautilus'', notably the way the planet is laid out onscreen and the way the player has to destroy certain enemies by shooting th ...

He is Executive Director of a small non-profit, Shadow World Investigations, and serves on the board of ''Declassified UK''. The son of a Holocaust survivor, Feinstein was the first MP to introduce a motion on the Holocaust in the South African parliament.

In 2001, in protest against the ANC's refusal to investigate allegations of huge bribes and large-scale corruption against senior ANC politicians arising from a South African Arms Deal, £5 billion arms deal, he resigned his parliamentary seat and moved to London, ...
