Ghost Archipelago
 |
The Ghost Archipelago has returned. A vast island chain¸ covered in the ruins of ancient civilizations¸ the Archipelago appears every few centuries¸ far out in the southern ocean. At such times¸ pirates¸ adventurers¸ wizards¸ and legendary heroes all descend upon the islands in the hopes of finding lost treasures and powerful artefacts. A few¸ drawn by the blood of their ancestors¸ search for the fabled Crystal Pool¸ whose waters grant abilities far beyond those of normal men. It is only the bravest¸ however¸ who venture into the islands¸ for they are filled with numerous deadly threats. Cannibal tribes¸ sorcerous snake-men¸ and poisonous water-beasts all inhabit the island ruins¸ guarding their treasure hordes and setting traps for the unwary.
In this new wargame¸ set in the world of Frostgrave¸ players take on the role of Heritors¸ mighty warriors whose ancestors drank from the Crystal Pool. These Heritors lead their small¸ handpicked teams of spellcasters¸ rogues¸ and treasure hunters into the ever-shifting labyrinth of the Ghost Archipelago. Using the same rules system as Frostgrave¸ this standalone wargame focuses on heroes who draw on the power in their blood to perform nigh-impossible feats of strength and agility. This game also includes 30 spells drawn from five schools of magic¸ a host of soldier types¸ challenging scenarios¸ treasure tables¸ and a full bestiary of the most common creatures that inhabit the Lost Isles.
