Heroism and Adventure in the Land of the Firebird
In Moscow's kremlin, a prince sits and schemes, dreaming of the day he would have gathered all the onion-domed cities of Russia into his grasp and made himself tsar . . .
A woman steps quickly into a clearing; she looks unhurriedly around, then with a shrug flows into her natural wolf shape, loping deeper into the woods . . .
A peasant boy catches a fish, the almost drops it when it rolls one weary eye and offers him three wishes for its life, hardly guessing that this is what it intended to happen . . .
In the steppes to the east, the Great Khan of Golden Horde bows three times to the hazy forms of his ancestors: soon, he promises, the Russians will be taught a lesson . . .
What is that glow in the darkness? the bright glory of Firebird, leading you back to safety, or a stray moonbeam glinting on the iron teeth of the witch Baba Yaga?
This is Mythic Russia, the roleplaying adventure in the worlds of medieval Russian history and legend. This book contains all the rules and background material needed for play, using the dynamic HeroQuest game engine. With maps, keywords, story seeds, and a complete introductory scenario, Mythic Russia offers you a new and distinctive roleplaying setting, one which draws not just on the rich and often dark tales of Russia, but also a wealth of neighboring cultures, from the once-mighty Byzantine Empire and Mongol Golden Horde to the spirit-worshipping tribes of the Siberian wilderness and the brutally efficient crusaders of the Teutonic Order. Whether you want to play historically-faithful games as the divided city-states of Russia seek to throw off Mongol domination and creation a new, unified nation, or else free-flowing fairy tales, Mythic Russia opens up a unique, richly-detailed and comprehensive new world of adventure.
This standalone 320-page book, is available in both limited edition hardback and standard softback.
