Wyrd of the Week: Heidrun’s Mead

Wyrd of the Week hasn't exactly been weekly these days, but fear not! That's only because we're hard at work making new The Hero's Journey 2e content for your legendarium! This time around we've got a preview of one of the heirlooms to be introduced in the short supplement Beard of Silver, Bell of Brass - which will allow players to take up the role of tenacious and clever goats as heroes in their own games. More than just stubborn cloven-hooved sidekicks, buccas have unique items, heirlooms, and abilities all their own. Heidrun's Mead, as shown below, is just one of the new heirlooms you'll find in Beard of Silver, Bell of Brass.

Heidrun’s Mead: No one quite knows the secret of how the bucca brew this strange mead, but when it is given by them as gifts the golden liquid grants remarkable properties that seem to empower the imbiber with amazing resilience. After consuming a dram of Heidrun’s Mead, a character receives Advantage on all Saving Throws made against poisons and Grievous Wounds until the next sunrise. If it is drunk from a goat horn, the imbiber also receives a +2 bonus to all melee attack rolls for the same duration. Heidrun’s Mead is typically produced in batches containing 1d6+1 doses. Cost: 2 Myth Points.

Nudge the Bucca and Bandoras the Halfling drink their friends,
Kristoph the Wizard and Addler the Wildling, under the table.

Beard of Silver, Bell of Brass is currently scheduled for a late third quarter or early fourth quarter 2022 digital release, with print on demand softcover to follow. In the mean time, you can get The Hero's Journey, Second Edition to start your adventure and if you want more animal options for your legendarium right now, then grab Of Beasts Brave and True for feline, equine and avian player options and The Hero's Companion for loyal canine characters!
