Runequest: Sláine
(ZZZ Unavailable)
Out Of Stock
Tir Nan Og - the Land of the Young - is a place of magic, strange gods, honor, and conflict, where the warring tribes of Celts fight one another constantly, except when joining forces to combat invaders. It is here that Sláine Mac Roth built his legend in the pages of the comic 2000AD . . . and now you can also adventure in his world.
In this new RuneQuest setting your character can learn many new skills unique to the world of Sláine (such as the Salmon Leap and Shield Biting), have immense warp spasms that can lay waste to your foes, and use the power of the earth goddess herself to cast great magic to defeat your enemies.
Inside you will find:
- Character Creation - Not only can your character come from Tir Nan Og, where each of the four tribes all have their own unique abilities, but he can also hail from Midgard or the Tribes of the Drune Lords, be a dwarf or even be descended from the inhabitants of drowned Atlantis.
- New Skills and Legendary Abilities - The varied tribes in Sláine all have access to their own unique skills. An Atlantean might have knowledge of the forbidden Serpent Staff weapons, a Midgard berserker may be able to pilot a Sky Chariot or a member of the Sessair tribe could throw the dreaded Gae Bolga while prone upon the ground by using his foot.
- Magic - Most characters have access to minor spells to fight their foes, but there are powerful sorcerers among the Druids and the Drune lords that can call upon far more power than these feeble enchantments, being able to raise entire armies from the other planes or strike down their foes with a single gesture.
- Bestiary - Creatures unique to Sláine. Shoggey Beasts, Titans, the Half-Dead and many more present dangerous challenges to overcome.
In Slaine you will have the opportunity to adventure in a world rich in Celtic myths, battling terrible foes at the behest of your tribe and gods.
To use this supplement, a Games Master will require RuneQuest, RuneQuest Companion, and RuneQuest: Monsters.

Putting The Hack Before The Horse
Rules are all well and good, but without a place to actually act on all those rules, your heroes are stranded in limbo. There's no glory, no riches to be had in limbo. Put simply, limbo sucks. So drop your characters into the worlds of Glorantha, Hawkmoon, Elric and Lankhmar and watch the shinies pile up. - Roleplaying Games
