The Fifth Frontier War | Wrath of the Ancients by Mongoose Publishing
- SYSTEM: Traveller
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover supplements
- RETAIL PRICE: $49.99/$59.99
- DESCRIPTION: The Third Imperium has fought four Frontier Wars against the Zhodani Consulate. A Fifth Frontier War kicks off as Zhodani battle fleets emerge from jumpspace at Regina, Efate, and Jewell. Reinforcements are months away and the Sector Admiral is frittering away what forces he has. PCs may jump into a trench at the Fall of Lanth or join the intrigue at the ducal court at Mora. They could hold back the Zhodani tide at the First Battle of Regina or lead the breakthrough of the 40th Fleet as it lunges at Macene. The PCs decide. This is the first sourcebook in a campaign that can span years of play and powerfully alter the future of the Charted Space universe. Wrath of the Ancients concludes a trilogy of adventures started with Mysteries of the Ancients and Secrets of the Ancients. If the PCs took part in the first two adventures and survived, then they have defeated an Ancient, but the struggle continues. The PCs receive a telepathic nightmare depicting a crashed vessel on a desolate moon. The Ancient Tsyamoykyo, once the least of his kind, plans to start a reign of terror. Meanwhile, the PCs are growing in power, developing new abilities. They have to learn to guide the process if they want to defeat another Ancient and save Charted Space. Again.

- DESCRIPTION: Wulfwald is a system-agnostic setting based in a world of mythic Anglo-Saxon tales. Each PC is a Wolfshead, an outcast adventurer trying to regain a place in society in a world filled with mythic monsters, dark and dangerous magic, and even more dangerous rulers. Features: 12 classes, four magic systems, a guide to the realms of Wulfwald, an introductory adventure, monsters, peoples, and a cloth map. Sanctimonious Slimes vs. Expired Epicures is a dungeon delve filled with dynamic factions and weird magic, laid out for ease of use at the table. Inside: six factions including an ennui-afflicted medusa and holier-than-thou slimes, 30 bizarre rooms including the Argumentoria and the Moldering Boudoir, 14 random tables including “Grotesque Mutations” and “Things a talking snake might say to convert you to their religion.”, and two New Testaments ready for Zealots. Beyond the Pale is an adventure inspired by Jewish history, folk tales, and mysticism. PCs will encounter themes of oppression and persecution alongside hope and love, all set against a backdrop of idyllic country life. Members of the religious community were consulted throughout development to ensure that the themes and images were not perceived as offensive or derogatory. Originally created as an add-on item for the Pilgrimage of the Penitent campaign this Game Master's Dot Journal features a textless dot pattern, perfect for designing dungeons. The cover is embossed with the Pilgrimage of the Penitent logo, which is also printed on the bottom outside corner of each page. The leaves are printed in blood red to match the red bookmark ribbon.
