Rodney Thomas addresses the question of whether the book of Revelation was written as an ‘anti-magical' polemic and explores the concept and definition of ‘magic' from both modern and first-century standpoints. Thomas presents the first century as a time dominated by belief in spiritual forces and magical activity which the author of Revelation sought to put into proper perspective. This aim was achieved through a variety of highly creative literary techniques which Thomas examines in this book. At times it is possible to argue that unacceptable magical practices are condemned by being labelled as farmakeia. At other times such practices are carefully placed within the context of Israel's ancient enemies. In addition standard polemical material against magical practices Thomas asserts that it is also possible to identify instances where the author of Revelation wholly appropriates imagery commonly associated with ‘magic' and recasts it into a new Christian context. As a result it is possible to view the magical motifs within Revelation as weighty polemic aimed against certain practices and beliefs in the first century.

A collection of Mythras rules for combat, conflict and character creation and much more. Like all good stories, Mythras has grown in the telling. As the game has expanded through supplements and settings, the rules have evolved to include a variety of additional systems that, while not essential, may prove useful to Games Masters and players alike. The Mythras Companion collects some of these rules together. Much of the material has appeared elsewhere, but some of it is new: Social Conflict and the Chase rules, for example, were written specifically for this supplement.All the material herein should be considered optional. None of it replaces the mechanics found in the Mythras Core Rules, and Games Masters are, as ever, encouraged to use what suits their game style, modify what they need to, and discard or ignore what they don't. What's inside?- Tactical Combat - Social Conflict - Sanity & Corruption - Vehicles - Races & Chases - New Character Creation Options. Please note that this edition does not include colour images.

Classic Fantasy brings Old School dungeon crawls to the Mythras rules. This book contains everything you need to emulate the fun of class and level-based adventuring, against the classic coterie of monsters, with the classic armoury of spells! If you've ever wanted to convert those old dungeon modules to a d100 system, then Classic Fantasy is for you.Packed with information and new rules additions, Classic Fantasy features a different approach to character creation based on classes such as the bard, cavalier, fighter, magic user, paladin and thief. Choose your race - human or demi-human - and then customize according to class, race and personal preference. If you're a magic user or cleric, the new magic rules for Arcane and Divine spells take the old staples such as Magic Missile, Charm, Fireball and more, and tailor them for the nuances of the Mythras system.For the more combat-oriented, the Classic Fantasy rules provide detailed miniatures-based combat adaptations for the traditional battle-board, complete with guidance on facings, positioning, and handling detailed movement.And of course, no book like this would be complete without monsters to kill and treasure to take! All the old favourites are accounted for, from Basilisks to Displacer Beasts, Grey Ooze to Gelatinous Masses, Kobolds, Gnolls, Hobgoblins and more. Forty pages of treasure and magic items helps you equip even the deepest dungeon with enough loot to satisfy the keenest adventuring party.
