Mythic Russia: heroism and adventure in the land of the Firebird
A standalone fantasy RPG¸ using the HeroQuest engine in the setting of the ancient Russia of history¸ legend and folktale. The setting is a cinematic one where the PCs are rare magical heroes. All magic is based on theism in HeroQuest¸ with a single Otherworld common to both pagan and Christian worship. Religion is a pastiche of paganism and Christianity. For example¸ one character might worship Volos the cattle god¸ and argue with his brother¸ who insists on calling him Saint Vlasii -- while both agreeing on many details. The game includes extensive notes on the body of myth and folklore including many villains and heroes¸ as well as maps¸ an introductory scenario¸ and many adventure seeds. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
