Sandheart 1: Tales of the Sun County Militia
Sandheart Volume One: Tales of the Sun County Militia is a campaign framework and introductory scenario for RuneQuest games set in Sun County¸ Prax. Within its 100+ pages¸ this book contains everything you need to run a police procedural game for adventurers serving in the Sun County Militia: a description of the remote Sandheart District¸ its administrative centre and everyday rural life¸ fleshed out with local VIPs and spirit cults¸ stats for ten pre-generated militiamen and -women¸ guidelines for creating diverse parties of adventurers (including non-native "special" recruits)¸ and a scenario ‐ No Country for Cold Men ‐ which pits the militia against a violent criminal gang.
The remastered edition is lavishly illustrated throughout by Mark Baldwin and Ludovic Chabant¸ and includes a section on Sun County Backgrounds by Nick Brooke exploring the family history of those native Sun Domers who end up serving in Sandheart. Because Sun County is notoriously xenophobic¸ misogynistic¸ patriarchal and repressive¸ any misfits¸ oddballs and non-conformists who rail against the system tend to be side-lined for advancement and wash up in places like Sandheart.
Volume Two: The Corn Dolls and Volume Three: Tradition add more scenarios for the Sandheart militia: taken together¸ they make up a mini-campaign that will give you many sessions of play.
