A Book of Tales

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tales of magic and monsters as told by The World's Greatest Bard!

Adventure across the world of The Witcher, uncovering its secrets, slaying its monsters, and bringing its stories to life, as entirely and truthfully recollected by the famed bard Dandelion.

The Bushy Tail

In this book, you'll travel from the could mountains of Kovir to the wine soaked region of Toussaint in Nilfgaard, meeting interesting characters along the way, with intrigue around every corner.

Sinister figures in green light.

Book of Tales is a supplement for The Witcher Pen and Paper RPG that gives you six adventures that span the Continent, complete with new monsters, player content, and maps. All compiled into a larger campaign.

Featuring...

  • Six Adventures: Experience escapades across the Continent, including a murder mystery in the heart of Mount Carbon, pulse-pounding combat in the Claremont Arena, and investigations in the mist-shrouded Alderwood.
  • New Player Content: Expand your game with new weapons, new spells, and three new playable races: Gnomes, Vran, and Werebbubbs.
  • A Connected Campaign: Take your party on a journey across the Continent by weaving all six adventures into a country-hopping trek.

Played through the adventures with my group from start to finish with Witcher, Sorceress, Bard, Criminal, and Noble (I made the starting characters then handed them out with some unspent exp and unrolled backstory so I knew that each character could equally shine). The campaign was fun and had great memorable moments but I did a fair amount of adjusting/prep before running each adventure. I would suggest as the GM to make sure the players know what kind of overall game it is. My players became very aware that not every fight was worth fighting and to think carefully about what they should do. I also added every enemy they rolled in the character creation as a one time hinderance throughout. Like the criminal rolled an enemy that I put as a challenger in the tournament. I allowed them to call upon any ally they rolled as a one adventure help. We had fun as a whole and required a lot of work to either spice up some adventures or to add clarity.
TLDR Fun, Requires experienced GM that is willing to put in the...See more

This book needs serious erata for the first adventure. It is very poorly written. I am having to retool it. If I have to do this for every adventure except for Maiden Surrounded by Butterflies, I will consider this book a true waste of time and money.

Sorry about that. Not sure what happened but I just rechecked, made sure all the boxes were ticked, and tested it. There should be a preview of the book up to through the first few pages of the first adventure.

Thank you very much. Its working now. I need to learn to stop skim reading though. I thought it was a book of tales. I am really sorry to have wasted your time.

I was wondering whether the new races can be mages or priests and which ones can be?

From lead developer Cody Pondsmith: "Gnomes, Vran, & Werebbubbs can all be Priests and Mages. We aim to make a point in the Stat block if a race can't use magic. In the case of Priests, all three races can worship any of the established gods due to the encroachment of humans and elves. The Vran and Werebbubbs don't traditionally worship any gods as the Vran are usually atheists who don't even believe in an afterlife and the Werebbubbs worship the spirits of their ancestors. But due to the nature of priestly magic in witcher there doesn't technically have to be a god they're connected to. They just have to believe there is. So a Vran could be a priest if they broke with the traditions of their people to worship a foreign god and a Werebbubb could do the same or even theoretically be a priest who believes they get their magic from their ancestors."

I have to say, at first I wasn't too convinced about your Witcher material, especially considering the multiple errors of the core book's initial run (that have been corrected, as far as I am aware), but I am currently very impressed with what you have released so far. I also appreciate that you are listening to your customers, don't think I didn't notice how you lowered the price of the Lords and Lands expansion :-)

Thank you! We have done our best to learn as we go and folks were right. Halving the cost of a book makes sense for a PDF. It doesn't for a product with a strong physical component like a GM screen.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
