Summary: Do I detect a bit of 'tel a'ran rhiod' from Bob Jordan's WoT
Comment: Apart from the fleeting resemblance to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time world, this one comes out at you in a full scream. A terrible insight into what can happen inside your head during the nightly adjourn. Disgustingly fun and evil with lots of potential for RPGing and compatible with the rest of the Palladium system, very fun indeed.

Summary: good ideas for Astral and Dream Worlds; a few good baddies
Comment: Having been a Palladium gamer for over 10 years, but having not played in the last 3, I have been looking at the new books to find new material to start a new campaign.

I like this book for its ideas about the Astral Plane and Dreamworlds. Some of the ideas about how players can adventure in these realms is interesting. The RCCs and baddies for each realm are imaginative and are integral to the style of the realms themselves, so the author should be commended.

Caveat: I haven't played this system yet, so my recommendation should be taken with a grain of salt.

However, I like the direction of the book and think any serious Palladium (Heroes, Ninjas, Nightbane) GM would probably find this interesting and useful, particularly the new rules on Astral Magic.

Summary: Twisted worlds for twisted people
Comment: A sourcebook for the apparently defunct Palladium game, Nightspawn, Between the Shadows adds new characters and villains/monsters to the already frightening world of Nightspawn.

The one main drawback to Between the Shadows is that it is confusing for someone with little knowledge of the Nightspawn game and how it interacts with things like the Dreamstream (a sort of plane/amalgam of dreams).

Even so, this is an excellent add-on to Nightspawn.

(NOTE: Astute readers of this review will note that I am calling this game NightSPAWN, not NightBANE. Nightspawn was the original title; Todd McFarlane, puffed up little poser that he is, apparently thought people would confuse his comic book with this game and threatened to sue.)
