Griffin Island

A Companion Volume to RuneQuest Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure

“A full century ago, Aigonus Windsword set foot upon the Griffin Island. His ship had circumnavigated the isle.

Now, he journeyed into the interior, and found the many Citadels that existed there, and discovered the orcs, dwarfs and elves who lived there. And, as he journeyed, he drew a fine map, detailing all he saw. All the places he visited were depicted there, and he wrote detailed notes of all he had heard existed elsewhere… including much treasure.”

And now, brave adventurer, that map is in your possession, and you have arrived at Soldier Port.

What glory and adventure will you find there?

Griffin Island is a complete adventure package for the RuneQuest Fantasy Roleplaying Adventure game. Inside this volume you will find:

  • a large, full-colour players’ map
  • 32 pages of players’ hand-outs
  • ten mid-length scenarios and innumerable scenario suggestions, ideas, encounters and characters to provide hours of gaming as the players explore the island and uncover its darker secrets.
