Pathfinder Module: Ire of the Storm

$24.99

Pridon’s Hearth is Sargava’s newest colony, pushing the country’s borders further south than ever before and attracting treasure-hunters, fortune-seekers, and troubled souls hoping for a fresh start. But unnaturally powerful storms rock the tiny settlement just as the local lizardfolk tribe declares war on the colonists within. Are these threats somehow related? What became of the heretical cult of Gozreh that journeyed to the region a century ago, and do its corrupt teachings hold the key to calming the growing hurricane? Can the heroes protect the growing community from raging tempests and hostile monsters alike? And what role does the shadowy Aspis Consortium play in these recent dangers? These challenges and more await heroes willing to face down the Ire of the Storm!

Maybe I should pitch the RPG and then move across the sea.

Orc Warfare

By Chris Pramas

Publisher Osprey Publishing

Orc Warfare is an interpretation of how orcs live and war; the two are very closely related. Chris starts by taking a look at the social and racial structures. From there he moves to detailed descriptions of orc troops. The last section is an anthology on tales of historic orc victories.

Orc Warfare goes over the orc physique for each of the “sub types” – goblins, orcs, and great orcs. Without spoiling too much, goblins are about four feet tall and amount to roughly twenty-five percent of the population. Orcs are the dominant of the species and they fill more roles in society. The great orcs are effectively born for war. Being the largest of the species, you can imagine how they might be used, but you don’t have to because Chris gives us more than enough information on them.
