Apocrypha 2: Chart of Darkness, the follow-up to Apocrypha Now!, is a mix of new rules, background material, and adventures from both fan-favorite writers and reprinted from White Dwarfs from the late 1980s.
The book starts with a section on 'Crime and Punishment', including new skills and careers, new spells for the Cult of Ranald, and a tour of prisons in the Empire. Section two explores aspects of death and the Cult of Mórr, ending with a slew of graveyard encounters.
Section three presents a variety of intriguing personages and places, such as Otto the Printer, the New Millennialists, The Vermilion Pawn, Morbog's Marauders, the Pandemonium Carnival, and the notorious Gotrek and Felix. Section four is a magical medley, featuring uncommon herbs, divination, and magical archery, as well as a character name generator and other useful tidbits for PC and NPC backgrounds. Apocrypha 2 rounds out with four adventures, including a new one -- Deep Trouble in Karak-Zulvor -- by Ken Rolston.
Finally, there is a gorgeously illustrated, updated character sheet template.
Graeme Davis was born at an early age and has lived ever since.
His enduring fascination with creatures from myth and folklore can probably be blamed equally on Ray Harryhausen and Christopher Lee. He studied archaeology at the University of Durham before joining Games Workshop in 1986, where he co-wrote the acclaimed Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game among others.
He has worked on over 40 video games, countless tabletop roleplaying game products, and a few more sensible books in the realms of history, mythology, and folklore. Most recently, he has written multiple titles for Osprey Publishing's Dark Osprey and Myths and Legends lines.
