Beowulf: Age of Heroes Core Rulebook

Description

One of the oldest recorded stories in Western Europe, Beowulf is the ultimate tale of hero versus monster; now it is also a dramatic D&D 5e setting, artfully designed for duet play—one GM and one player. Beowulf: Age of Heroes presents a host of new and specially adapted 5e rules to create epic and thematic adventures for your lone hero and their Followers. The Beowulf Core Rulebook is all you need in addition to the D&D 5e core rules to begin your journey.

Discover a fierce background of wild seas and savage monsters, of meadhalls and of heirloom swords that bear legendary names. Gain Followers and take Inspiration from unique Portents to guide your voyage along the Whale Road.

Choose to play the mighty Bench-Breaker, the wily Riddle-Weaver, or the sturdy Ox-Blooded. With a range of setting-specific backgrounds: you might be the Chosen One, or Adrift and seeking answers. You may be an Avenger, or of Noble Blood. Beowulf: Age of Heroes presents 272 pages of beautifully illustrated mythic setting and rules. They evoke a legendary age of tales, poems and song.
