The Shade of the Sinking Plain is a 1984 fantasy role-playing game adventure published by North Pole Publications[1] for the Rolemaster role-playing game.
The Shade of the Sinking Plain is an adventure in which a huge battle barge preys upon smaller ships on the rivers connected to a swamp.
Jeff Ong reviewed The Shade of the Sinking Plain in Space Gamer No. 72.[2] Ong commented that "Shade of the Sinking Plain sells for nearly as much as some RPGs cost [...] Unless you are a hardcode hack-and-slasher, try the ICE Rolemaster modules instead, and don't waste your time and money."[2]
