Joseph A. McCullough isn't slowing down when it comes to releasing content for his games. Frostgrave is getting a new expansion in early December with Blood Legacy from the folks at Osprey Games.

This new tome for Frostgrave expands on the rules and information available for both Vampires and Giants. You'll find rules for Vampires and Vampiric Magic to use in your games as well as the different Giant Tribes that have now descended on the city of Felstad. Here's some of the background for the new book...

"In the days of ancient Felstad, vampires kept to the shadows, their small numbers no match for the power of the city's wizards. But when the cataclysm struck, the wizards were destroyed, while the deathless vampires went into a frozen hibernation. Now, as the city thaws, so to do its undead inhabitants. The masters of the night are rising again: reoccupying their hidden strongholds, reforming their old cabals, and finding new victims to serve as their thralls. The destruction of the old city has brought one other boon to the vampires - giant's blood. While giants used to live out of reach to the far north, in the intervening millennium, they have descended on the city in large numbers. Their blood is like an elixir to the vampires, filling them with strength and magical power. A new war is forming between these two ancient races, and once again, the wizards of Frostgrave are caught in the middle."

As well as drawing on the power of the Giant's Blood you'll also find rules for a new type of soldier. The Giant-Blood are huge men and women who have the strength of these mighty creatures running through their veins. Why hire that tired old knight when you can bring a massive hulking goliath to the ruins instead?

You'll also find rules included for running high-level Wizards through campaigns. This presents you with a fun "end game" for your Wizards and builds on this with two mini-campaigns that should challenge even experienced spellcasters.

I think it's great that McCullough clearly thought Vampires and Giants were cool and worked out a fun way to combine the two into one volume. I think this will be a fun next step for those playing Frostgrave 2nd Edition!

What do you make of Blood Legacy at this early stage?
