[Commercial] Devilry Afoot released!

[soldieroftheline]

Just got my copy via Amazon, looks fun. Might not entirely suit my gaming group but some elements may well be used to 'enhance' Pikeman's Lament games :-)

Can you suggest any further background reading on the "attitudes and beliefs from the time"?

Witchfinders by Malcom Gaskill is a good read
Malleus Maleficarum has interesting bits about stealing penises and things like that
The Book of English Magic by Richard Heygate is good.

if you prefer more digestible visual information, both Warlock and the tv series Salem for all their faults (time travel and weird breast monster aside) do follow proper folklore (hammering a footprint with an iron nail, the aforementioned penis theft)

I'll second Witchfinders by Gaskill, it's an excellent read.

Got my copy of Devilry Afoot. Excellent production values!

Malleus Maleficarum

Ooh, I have that one in my occult library.

Well I couldn't resist, had to see what the fuss was about and my copy arrived today.

Lovely book, excellent production and some really nice illustrations.  Excellent to see Bloody Miniatures making an appearance amongst the bigger boys' products.

Oh well. That'll be a new period, then.

I've just given in and placed an order, Unfortunately I also use my Amazon account for work and and it started paying off against my bosses card. A quick edit later to my card  and hopefully he'll never realise. 

Roll on Friday delivery and some nice weekend reading.

Roll on Friday delivery and some nice weekend reading.

So they surprised me by delivering at 12.00 today. I had a quick flick through over lunch and looks like it will be fun to play through.
