Shadowstar Games, Inc. publishes the Interactive Storytelling Game, Fantasy Imperium.

Founded in 2006, Shadowstar Games is currently in the process of creating the Storyteller's Screen, which should go to press early 2007, and the Quickstart Guide, which will be available as a free download from the website.

The Storyteller's Guide has been broken into two books, one under the same name and the other called, Mythical Realms, which will be published first.


What is an Interactive Storytelling Game (ISG)?

An Interactive Storytelling Game is a type of role playing game, but there is more emphasis on telling a story in an ISG.

Typically in a RPG, there will be only a single plot point in a game session, while an ISG will have several plot points occurring in every game session, making it possible to tell an entire story in a shorter time span. RPGs tend to be ongoing collaborative narratives, while an ISG will have a more structured plot line.
