Description

Beowulf – Age of Heroes Beowulf core book

One of the oldest recorded stories in Western Europe, Beowulf  is the ultimate tale of hero vs. monster. Now it’s a dramatic, 5e setting. One player and one GM typically play BEOWULF Age of Heroes, though it also works well for group play.

Discover a fierce setting of wild seas and savage monsters, of meadhalls and of heirloom swords that bear legendary names. Gain Followers, take Inspiration from unique Portents, and use specially crafted tokens to guide your voyage along the Whale Road.

Play the ‘Hero’ class, and choose from six sub-classes based on your ability scores. You can be the mighty Bench-Breaker, the wily Riddle-Reaver, or the sturdy Ox-Blooded. Characters come from a range of setting-specific backgrounds: you might be the Chosen One, or Adrift and seeking answers. You may be an Avenger, or of Noble Blood.

Beowulf character examples

 

Written and illustrated by a team of industry veterans, led by Jon Hodgson, (The One Ring, D&D, Warhammer Historical) BEOWULF: Age of Heroes features 272 pages of beautifully illustrated mythic setting, and evokes a legendary age of tales, poems and song.

Described by fans as the ‘best hack of 5e ever made’, and by games designer Will Hindmarch as something ‘really magical’, BEOWULF Age of Heroes is uniquely designed for duet play: one Hero and one GM (though it can still be played by a group). This means it’s easy to get, and keep, a game going, and it’s especially ideal for play over the internet.

Rooted in the world’s favourite role-playing game, the creators of BEOWULF carefully forged it to follow the folklore, flow, and feel of the original poem.
