Shadow Knight (Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game)
''Shadow Knight'' is a 1993 role-playing supplement for ''Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game'' published by Phage Press. Contents ''Shadow Knight'' is a supplement in which concepts are taken from the ''Merlin'' novel series. Publication history Shannon Appelcline noted that compared to their handling of '' Amberzine'', "Phage Press never did as well in producing actual game material. ''Shadow Knight'' (1993) - a supplement focusing on the 'Merlin' cycle of ''Amber'' books - finally did appear at the very end of 1993 but it was almost two years late by that time.
