In the lead-up to the Kickstarter for their next major tabletop RPG, Shadow Scar, R. Talsorian Games has released a substantial free content bundle on DriveThruRPG.

The publisher, well-known for producing the popular Cyberpunk RED and The Witcher TTRPGs, is offering an expanding collection of digital supplements to give players a head start in their new universe.
Shadow Scar shifts away from the dystopian future and dark fantasy settings of its predecessors, plunging players into a multiverse-spanning secret war. In the game, players become agents of the Shadow Scar Agency, a clandestine organisation trained in ninjutsu, tasked with hunting monstrous yokai from Japanese folklore across different dimensions. The game is designed by Cody Pondsmith and uses a new d6-based dice pool system called the Mosaic System, which emphasizes stealth and tactical assassinations.
The newly released Shadow Scar Free DLC Bundle 2025 is a single, convenient download that R. Talsorian has confirmed will be updated with all future free releases. Currently, the bundle contains several key documents for prospective players and storytellers. Included are the full Shadow Scar Character Creation rules, a Supply Kit expanding the available armoury, a guide to the mystical side of the setting called Visiting the Mystics, and lore introductions to the lunar settlement of Selene and a crossover scenario with the world of 5th Street.
This release follows the availability of the Shadow Scar Starter Set and provides a robust entry point for players curious about the game’s mechanics and lore before the core rulebook crowdfunding campaign begins. An official website, ShadowScarGame.com, has been launched for players to follow for further updates.
