AmberShadowOfADoubt:Main Page

This is an Amber campaign started in June 2006, GMed by Madeline Ferwerda. It is set in the standard Amber cosmos after the Patternfall War. However, the PCs all began ignorant of Amber itself. Instead, they all know each other as fellow resistance fighters in a common shadow reality. There, it is 1943 of an alternate history where the U.S. stayed out of WWII, and Germany conquered England.
