There is a fair amount of interest in playing Shadowfist online, but until 2003 there wasn't an easy way to do it. Anil Das-Gupta took the initial plunge to make an Apprentice patch for Shadowfist, since then Shadowfist has popped up for Cardtable and CCG Workshop, and a LackeyCCG port in 2008 as well. With CCG Workshop gone, there currently is no stable and popular place to play Shadowfist on-line.

Apprentice patch for Shadowfist - a modification to the Apprentice online play program for Magic: The Gathering, put together by Anil Das-Gupta. It's hosted in the Shadowfist-UK yahoogroup [yahoo.com, 3 Sep 2007] but you have to be a member to access it there. Mirrored here with his permission. Thanks Anil! Database is current through 10,000 Bullets (~2002)

Cardtable database for Shadowfist - Beta version of the database using some image thumbnails plus "generic" template thumbnails for the rest is now available. Cardtable interests me more than Apprentice because it supports thumbnail graphics, but it'll be a while before I have all the thumbnails ready. Working on it :)

CCG Workshop [ccgworkshop.com, gone] (Gatling Engine) was fun while it lasted. Julien Ginther put a lot of effort into Shadowfist on CCG Workshop, but the server has disappeared with no prospects for returning.

LackeyCCG [lackeyccg.com, 10 Aug 2008] - A generic card-playing engine similar to Cardtable but using a central server and has multiplayer support (and has the advantage that it is actively being worked on :) Download the engine from their website, then you have to download the Shadowfist files separately as a plugin. Go here [angelfire.com, 10 Aug 2008] for a tutorial on how to download a plugin (it's for Magic, but just think "Shadowfist" where it says "Magic").

Shadowplay [sourceforge.net, 10 Aug 2008] - an open-source project hosted at SourceForge that never really picked up steam. It's still listed, but has had no activity.

Ape City Online [sourceforge.net, 10 Aug 2008] - another open-source projecte hosted at SourceForge. A little splash in February 2008, then stalled, apparently.
