Celtic Age: Role-Playing the Myths, Heroes & Monsters of the Celts

by John R. Phythyon Jr., Ree Soesbee, Mike Bennighof

At the time of Christ, a legendary culture was on the rise in northern Europe. Two millenia later they would be remembered for their reverence of nature, their treatment of women, and their courage in battle. Had they been allowed to expand and grow, they might have had their own Golden Age, and Western culture might be very different today. Instead, they met the Romans, who eventually conquered them all. This magnificent people was the Celts, and this is their story. This volume explores their culture. Find out who they were, what they held holy, the monsters they fought - both real and mythical - why they battled each other, and what gave them joy. In addition to providing tons of detailed material on the Celts, this book allows you to bring them into your d20 campaign. A host of new Character Classes, Feats, Skills, and other special new rules, makes this the definitive book on fantasy role-playing in the Celtic Age.

About the author

John R. Phythyon, Jr. wishes he were a superhero or a magician, but, since he has not yet been bitten by a radioactive spider or gotten his letter from Hogwarts, he writes adventure stories instead. He is the author of the Wolf Dasher series of fantasy-thriller mashup novels, as well as several short stories, a two-act comedy, and numerous game manuals. He won awards for the latter and hopes to make millions with the former.

In the meantime, he lives in Lawrence, Kansas with his wife, their children, a dog, and a cat. His current projects include the next novel in the Wolf Dasher series, world peace, and desperately wishing for the Cincinnati Bengals to win a Super Bowl before he dies.
