Skirmisher Publishing is pleased to announce that we have once again expanded the In the Footsteps of Hercules companion book to City Builder! We have also added more D&D 5E game content and other material tying in with this title to the special In the Footsteps of Hercules Bonus Content page at d-Infinity Online game magazine. 

***

* We have made a number of additions, changes, and improvements to In the Footsteps of Hercules, to include increasing it in length from 44 to 54 pages; adding two new specific places, the winemaking Iraxte Monastery and the seaport city of Nafplion; adding a new custom image by fantasy artist Amanda Kahl; and adding an encounter area map by game cartographer William T. Thrasher for the Megalos Ellada farm. We very much hope that you will now enjoy it even more!

++ In the Footsteps of Hercules is a system-free sourcebook that is a specific example of a Pilgrimage Trail, one of the 85 general sorts of places that appear in City Builder, that can be used in con­junction with any fantasy role-playing game. It currently contains a detailed entry on the title pilgrimage trail and entries on nine other places, specific examples of a Bathhouse, Farm, Hospital, Monastery, Oracle, Port, Shrine, Stables, and Temple.

++ Moving ahead, we will be adding four more entries devoted to specific places; nearly a dozen more maps/floorplans by William T. Thrasher; and several more custom illustrations by Amanda Kahl. We estimate it will ultimately be as much as 100 pages in length.

* In the Footsteps of Hercules is a fully-supported product and we have been developing a wide variety of support material for it, to include D&D 5E game content, fiction, and actual-play game sessions. We have created at d-Infinity Online game magazine a special In the Footsteps of Hercules Bonus Content page with links to all of this material and will regularly update it, so keep an eye on it for new additions.
