Roleplaying with the HeroQuest game system in the ancient Russia of legend and folktale, a land of glittering onion-domed churches and dark, dangerous forests, home to heroes, fiends -- and the flame-feathered firebird.

It is projected that Mythic Russia will be released in either winter 2004 or early 2005. It will be a standalone book, including all the rules necessary for play, as well as information on the setting, maps and scenarios. Development of the game and book is currently under way, and this website will be updated regularly with support material, previews and development notes.

Mythic Russia is being written by Mark Galeotti. As well as being an academic specialist in Russian history, he has a long association with gaming and a particular understanding of the HeroQuest system, having been one of its developers and also Acquisitions Editor for Issaries, Inc. In his words, "this is unapologetically a labour of love: I have always wanted to see the magic, whimsy and horror of Russian history and folklore brought to life, and I think in HeroQuest we finally have the game system able to do it justice."

Mythic Russia will use the core game engine, adapted for play in this setting. However, it will be entirely compatible with HeroQuest.
