A solo/cooperative skirmish wargame of heroism and adventure in the realms of Greek myth. In an age of monsters, humanity is besieged, sheltering in isolated city states as the forces of destruction ravage the land. There is a spark of hope, however – the demigods.

This Quests book contains the rules needed to adventure in the world of Warriors of Athena, including an extensive bestiary of gods, monsters, and other adversaries. Advice for players looking to build their own solo, cooperative, or Oracle-plotted adventures is also provided, while four multi-scenario campaigns allow them to dive straight into the action!Players will also need the rules for play, creating Heroes, and assembling warbands found in Warriors of Athena: Heroes to make full use of this book.

The Silver Bayonet: Britain: Bones of Albion


Britain faces invasion and conquest – from Napoleon and from the undead – in this supplement for The Silver Bayonet, featuring a competitive campaign and a horde of new monsters.As the spectre of invasion looms from across the Channel, the ghosts of Britain’s ancient past return to haunt the living. Centuries ago, as the Romans advanced across the land, a desperate druid attempted to wield a terrible power to curse the invaders… but the spell failed, Rome claimed another province, and the magic lay dormant. Now, as preparations are made for Napoleon’s seemingly inevitable arrival on these shores, labourers have uncovered a mysterious black stone and unleashed that fell curse. From Shetland to the Kentish coast, the undead of Britain’s past – Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and others – rise to march and conquer once more.The Bones of Albion brings the action of The Silver Bayonet to the British Isles, a land under siege from both without and within. In a competitive campaign, specialist units will be called upon to investigate increasingly disturbing reports of restless ghosts and revenants. Faced with rival units and a bestiary of menacing foes, they must discover why the dead are rising in such numbers and put a stop to it before Britain falls before a horde of the undead…

Frostgrave: Advanced Spellcraft


Expand your spellbook with Advanced Spellcraft, featuring new options for wizards and a ten-scenario competitive campaign.While today''s wizards are not as gifted as those who ruled Felstad, the recent discovery of the fabled Bibliosepulchre promises to change all that. It was in this great library-crypt that ancient librarians were interred, each clutching a rare grimoire. Who knows what strange energies have seeped from those tomes over the centuries or what shadows and ghosts stalk the dark catacombs? Only those truly obsessed with magic and the power it offers would dare to find out!Advanced Spellcraft offers numerous new rules and ideas that bring more spellcasting possibilities to games of Frostgrave. Critical successes and failures for each basic spell are introduced, as are spell-specific flourishes that can be learned to enhance your magic. Create a Furious Quill that leaps from target to target, cast a Draining Word that affects an entire school of magic, or ensnare multiple zombies with Control Undead. Such flourishes take their toll, however, and to even learn such secrets will require you to venture into the Bibliosepulchre itself in a ten-scenario competitive campaign.With hundreds of new tricks for wizards to learn, Advanced Spellcraft is the largest supplement to date, and is presented in celebration of Frostgrave''s 10th anniversary.

Hairfoot Jousting


A fast-paced miniatures game of whimsical fantasy jousting. While the Hairfoot halflings typically prefer eating and drinking to strenuous exercise, one thing that is sure to stir them from their armchairs is the noble sport of Hairfoot Jousting. Small teams take to the field on the backs of various unruly mounts – pigs, turkeys, sheep, and more – to tilt against their rivals, striving to knock them to the ground with their blunt lances. For the victors: fame, glory, and perhaps a new pair of gardening gloves. For the defeated team… well, everyone loves an underdog!Hairfoot Jousting is a quick and simple tabletop miniatures game in which players seek to lead their teams of three to victory in tournaments or over the course of a season. Play on some of the most famous pitches to grace the sport, such as Baker’s Run, The Puddles, and Barrel Bottom, each with their own special challenges. Point your jousters in the direction of their opponents and hope their mounts don’t have their own ideas! In Hairfoot Jousting, sportsmanship and a sense of humour are as valuable as skill or luck – after all, it’s joust a bit of fun.
