Osprey Publishing’s acclaimed mythological skirmish game Of Gods and Mortals has just received its first supplement. Of Gods and Mortals: Celts is written by Graeme Davis, with playtesting and art by the game’s original designer, Andrea Sfiligoi. Published under Sfiligoi’s Ganesha Games imprint, it is available in electronic form from the Ganesha Games web site and in paperback from CreateSpace and Amazon. Ganesha Games plans to make it available through more outlets over the coming weeks.

The 54-page book includes new gods, heroes, monsters and mortals, as well as expanded treatments of those covered in the game’s core rulebook. Chariots are covered in detail, including the chariot-feats described in Irish sagas such as the Tain Bo Cuailnge. New battle scenarios are provided, as well as notes on warband design and allied forces. Finally, a detailed bibliography is provided for readers who wish to explore the worlds of Celtic myth further.

Graeme Davis has been writing for tabletop games since 1982. Best known for his work on Warhammer and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in the 1980s, he also wrote the Celts Campaign Sourcebook for AD&D 2nd edition and developed the setting and mythology for Kabam’s top-grossing mobile strategy game, Kingdoms of Camelot: Battle for the North. A former archaeologist, he has a lifelong interest in both mythology and Celtic archaeology.

Andrea Sfiligoi has been gaming since he was 13 (when he designed his first boardgame and inflicted it on unuspecting friends - twice. Then everybody moved to play Red Box D&D and Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader). He has contributed to various gaming magazines including Steve Jackson Games’ Roleplayer and Pyramid and Nexus Games’ Kaos. For Nexus he designed the RPG Inferno in the early 90s. Andrea lives in Italy, with a writer’s mandatory allotment of cats and thousands of miniatures in an amazing variety of scales, status of pigmentation and genre. He manages Ganesha Games as a full-time job. Sort of. He is the author of several miniatures games, including Song of Blades and Heroes, Rogue Stars, and A Fistful of Kung Fu.
