Everybody is human. Having non-human races in Aquelarre wouldn't sit well with the tone of the game. It would be like having Deep One PCs in a Cthulhu game.

Quote from: RPGPundit;700777EDIT: Imperator says 14th century; I don't know if I'm remembering it wrong, but the first game I ran I know I set in the 13th century. I was playing 1st edition, could it be that they pushed the timeline forward? If not, its possible I just decided to set it earlier for my own reasons (the persecution of the Templar order was a theme of that campaign).  My later campaign was set during the time of the Borgias, so it was later.

Since the very beggining the game has been set around 1350, so maybe you just decided to set it earlier for the Templar stuff. At any rate, Aquelarre is good for any medieval date.

Nope, humans only. This is an historical game. The Irrational World is NPC-only, and I think is for the best.

Mind you, this game is about playing a person of the Middle Ages who happens to meet and find the stuff of legends, but most people won't never ever see a monster, spell, or anything like that. Many official adventures are Scooby Doo type adventures, meaning that, at the end, there was no magic involved. On the other hand some of the biggest epic campaigns involve the PCs travelling to Hell and back, so there. At any rate, the supernatural stuff is something that is on the edge of the world for most people... but for the PCs.

The website has character sheets, in Spanish of course ... and in Latin.:cool:

Definitely.  Although if one wanted to use Aquelarre for some kind of fantasy campaign I'm sure that it'd be easy to add some fae-type races.

Quote from: Imperator;700519Aquelarre can be played in any concrete time during the Middle Ages but, by default, it assumes you will be playing around 1350. Most adventures are set in that period (roughly 14th century), with some expansions (Rinascita and Villa y Corte) moving the timeline to the Renaissance and the 17th century, so you get all swashbuckley.

If I can buy homemade cheese from the peddlers on Montserrat I'm there!

Latin???  I don't think so.

Quote from: Arduin;702285Latin???  I don't think so.

There are two versions of the character sheet, one in Spanish and the other one in Latin, in the corebook, and in the publisher's site. If you don't believe it, go here, and click Hoja de personaje en blanco y negro or Hoja de personaje en color.

People, in Spain we are HARDCORE

Thanks.  It didn't fully download the 1st time I tried it.

I'm surprised and outraged that there isn't one in medieval Catalan, Basque, Ladino or Arabic!

Any updates or news in the last couple years?

Dude!  Uncool necro.  Making me think this is out. Still nothing about it.  Haven't been around here much.  Always liked Imperator's comments.

Good news. I've contacted Nocturnal Media this week and received a reply.

Aquelarre is still being published by Nocturnal Media and a kickstarter is planned. Information may be forthcoming this month.
