In 10 connected missions, the PCs wander through the well-known City finding new challenges, allies, and many, many new enemies, both alive and undead searching for a secret hideout that might still be safe, a place called Haven 3. Introduces 4 brand new Survivor Archetypes who can face off against well-trained humans, mutated Zombies, and terrifying Abominations.

182 heirs to heresy.JPG

Heirs to Heresy: Faith & Fear by Osprey Games
  • SYSTEM: Heirs to Heresy: The Fall of the Knights Templar
  • PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover setting
  • RETAIL PRICE: $47
  • DESCRIPTION: A January release but worth covering I think. Branded a heretic and turned fugitive, the PCs are on the run. Other knightly orders like the Hospitallers and the Teutonics, are potential allies but could turn on the PCs instead. This supplement introduces new knightly orders, mighty relics, mysteries, and foes both mortal and supernatural. New mysteries abound, diving more deeply into a dark, mythic Europe, while rules for strongholds and spy networks present PCs with opportunities to exploit or challenges to overcome.

I could see that Templar game being an interesting campaign, and Bahr's pretty reliable IME. Interesting to see him doing this through Osprey rather than Gallant Knight.

Bahr did a great job presenting a really cool, thoroughly playable campaign frame/setting without leaning very hard at all on the supernatural elements that can dominate any discussion of the Templars. It's way more of a historical RPG book than you usually see, which is awesome!

Sounds good. That might explain the Osprey connection too. They're still primarily known for producing military history reference books despite expanding their gaming output quite a bit in recent years.
