Tales of the Sun County Militia – Sandheart Volume One – RPG – Jonstown Compendium from Jonstown Compendium

Description

Sandheart Volume One: Tales of the Sun County Militia is a campaign framework and introductory scenario for RuneQuest games set in Sun County, Prax. Within its 100+ pages, this book contains everything you need to run a police procedural game for adventurers serving in the Sun County Militia: a description of the remote Sandheart District, its administrative centre and everyday rural life, fleshed out with local VIPs and spirit cults, stats for ten pre-generated militiamen and -women, guidelines for creating diverse parties of adventurers (including non-native “special” recruits), and a scenario – No Country for Cold Men – which pits the militia against a violent criminal gang.

The remastered edition is lavishly illustrated throughout by Mark Baldwin and Ludovic Chabant, and includes a section on Sun County Backgrounds by Nick Brooke exploring the family history of those native Sun Domers who end up serving in Sandheart. Because Sun County is notoriously xenophobic, misogynistic, patriarchal and repressive, any misfits, oddballs and non-conformists who rail against the system tend to be side-lined for advancement and wash up in places like Sandheart.

Volume Two: The Corn Dolls and Volume Three: Tradition add more scenarios for the Sandheart militia: taken together, they make up a mini-campaign that will give you many sessions of play.
