Tomes of Ancient Lore

This sourcebook adds star signs to character creation, with each hero drawing a card to receive a special knack and a Doom that can provide an adventure hook. It also includes ready-to-play sword-and-sorcery combat scenes for the GM, covering situations such as interrupting a dark rite, escaping through snow, forest chases, naval battles, sorcerous duels, and finding an assassin. Each scene provides terrain, enemies, tactics, and Golden and Steel Bennies, along with a table of reusable terrain elements such as pillars, barrels, and crowds.
