Here Be Dragons (SW)
 |
You've fought basilisks¸ dragons¸ manticores¸ and wyverns... but have you really?
History buff and accomplished game designer Michael Surbrook welcomes you to rediscover all the incredible monsters¸ beasts¸ and strange beings of the Medieval Age in a way you've never encountered them before. With deep research and completely re-engineered Savage Worlds mechanics that eschew "standard gaming" for "what were they believed to be like¸" you and your mighty band of heroes might just find out that Old World imagined lion is far more frightening than that last standard hippogriff you tackled.
Then again¸ the Medieval hippogriff is far nastier¸ still!
From a short history of medieval beasts and monsters (and a look at the georgraphical world through European Middle Age eyes) to a thorough presentation of both magical monsters and mundane creatures (in Savage Worlds stats and terms)¸ Here Be Dragons is a monster manual for the history fan in all of us. It's also a powerful tool for any Game Master looking to make the Old World all-new for players who think they know everything about the monsters they fight.
This is another in a series of products Evil Beagle Games is proud to bring you¸ from the creative and prolific mind and talents of Michael Surbrook. Look for many more useful¸ well-researched¸ and highly creative products from him in the future.
