Latest Update on second ed of TRIBAL: The document has been finished by Pete (and it's looking fantastic). A bit more proofreading was done, page number references etc checked, and the printing file has been sent off to the printers to get a quote on a print run. Fingers crossed that inflation won't hurt too much on the cost of this book!


In the meantime, some more info on another setting in the 2nd ed rulebook - The Bronze Age. We've tried to focus on two major factions/settings in this period - the Mycenaeans/Trojans of Homeric fame. The personalities, the emnities and the focus on kleos/honour/fame in The Iliad (especially) - all of this lends itself perfectly for Tribal gaming.

In addition, we reckon the Sea Peoples - and the 'possible' basic organisation around mercenary crews - would suit play in Tribal. In contrast, the Egyptians and Hittites etc records depict huge battles and large armies of men - something that would suit a mass battle set of rules instead...
