Immerse yourself in Celtic myth. Sláine is a brand new d20 role-playing game giving you background on Tir Nan Og, the Land of the Young in Celtic legend, and full rules for playing the various characters found there. The innovative feat-based magic system lets all characters cast a spell or two if they wish, reflecting the superstitious beliefs of the Celts. Channel earth-power through your body, swelling to a monstrous size as you enter a warp-spasm. Learn the secrets of the feared gae bolga, a barbed and spiked spear that always causes fatal wounds, or hurl the dreaded tathlum, a concrete ball made from the brains of your dead enemies. Battle shoggey beasts, skull-swords and fomorian sea demons for the honour of your tribe. Injure your enemies with the power of your poetic insults alone. Or throw subtlety aside and wield a flint great-axe, slaying fifty foes to the left of you and fifty to the right. You will not think it too many.
The first part of an epic campaign for the Slaine RPG, this 128-page adventure focuses on the tale of King Adamastos of the Fir Domain, a ruthless war leader who through sorcery and treachery is protected from all injury. King Adamastos is now one of the most feared powers in Tir Nan Og, and is ready to start moving against the other tribes of the Earth Goddess.
The legendary Celtic Land of the Young, a mythical version of Northern Europe and home to the Tribes of the Earth Goddess, upon which the Sláine stories concentrate. It is a land of heroes, magic and superstition, beset on all sides by foes. The Fomorians to the north, the Drune Lords to the south and Midgard to the east, it is a land of epic tales. This superb resource covers numerous aspects of the land, including the four tribes (The Sessair, The Finians, The Fir Domain and The Falians) and The that call it home, major locations like Dinas Emrys, the Gaesatae mercenaries and the surrounding lands of the enemy.
