Free League Publishing has just released two major expansions for their award-winning tabletop RPG titled Forbidden Lands! These two expansions bring a lot of new content for players and game masters to enjoy, including a whole new list of official creatures and a new journey to experience together. The two expansions are:
Book of Beasts - a bestiary you can play, beautifully illustrated and filled to the brim with murderous monsters and lethal encounters.
The Bloodmarch - a campaign book expanding the game world and including a full campaign – Legacy of Horn written by fantasy author Erik Granström.
How these books will help expand the world within the series and not just add options for players is how deep the detail goes. The Book of Beasts presents 28 new monsters in great detail. Each beast comes ready to play with tailored random encounters, presenting the Gamemaster with a handy set of mini-adventures to go. The book also includes legends about each monster, introduces the option to harvest resources from slain beasts, and lets players use their Lore skills to gain insight into a monster's strengths and weaknesses.
However, with The Bloodmarch, Forbidden Lands gets even stranger. The Bloodmarch is the name given to the volcanic region west of Ravenland, accessible as the Shadowgate Pass is again opened. This ancient land of battle-ready horse riders and secretive dwarves is rapidly changing due to the demonic vegetation spreading across the land. Most see this red curse as a threat to all that is good, while others view it as a good thing – or at least a necessary evil needed to reach other goals.
Forbidden Lands and these new expansions are available in physical form on the Free League Publishing website and in PDF format on DriveThruRPG.
