What ones were released?  What were they like?  Which do you recommend and why?

Incidentally, Madrid is a seriously cool city, you should all go there.

Aquelarre has 3 eds this moment:

From the first ed, there are two supplements which are a must:

• Villa y Corte, a thorough description of the Golden Century in Spain, a neighbourhood by neighbourhood description of the XVIIth century Madrid, complete with a cast of historical characters, rules for creating characters, fencing, and several short adventures. Each neighbourhood comes with some local legends and adventure seeds.
  
• Rerum Demoni, that delves deep into the Infernal Hierarchy, an Infernal bestiary, a fuckload of new spells and a lot of excellent adventures. The rules part of this book and the bestiary was included in 2nd ed.

The other 1st ed. books are Dracs, which is a very good supplement for Catalonia, and includes an epic campaign that takes the PCs from Catalonia to Transilvania, and it's a blast. It's very good, both in adventures and setting stuff. Lilith is a compilation of short adventures, each one with an appendix detailing some aspect of medieval life important in the adbenture (monasteries, markets, bandits). Average to good adventures here. Rincón is a regional supplement, detailing a small baronie that can be set anywhere in Christian Spain, and a campaign which is quite down to earth, and interesting. And the GM screen comes whit a 6 parts campaign by the name of Danse Macabre, which takes the PCs along St. James Way, and which I have recently finished. It's very good.

From then on, there is a big amount of books, which you can classify in:

• Regional supplements: I own the Basque and Galician, and are good. You have also an Andalusian supplement (which is better, as it presents the Muslim world and tradition in more detail), and an special supplement for my hometown Granada, which is wonderful (not only because I helped its author ). There can be others, but I haven't read them.
• Adventures: things are irregular here. Some very good, some horrible. If you see a campaign by the name of Ultreya, don't touch it.
  
• Professional supplements: This things detail the in and out of some medieval professions, and are priceless. The layout is sometimes confusing, and some of them could use some more editing, but the depth of detail is enormous. I commen Ars Medica, Grimoire, and Ars Carmina (which details the bard and trobadour world).  They are quite good.

The game's been OOP for 4 years, give or take. It has a quite strong online support, I'll see if I can dig some links.

And yeah, Madrid is indeed great If some of you people come around here, drop me a PM and I'll be happy to show you around.

Is this book for Aquelarre or Alatriste? :confused:

To the extent of my knowledge, Maestros de Esgrima and the GM screen were the only supplements ever released for Alatriste. Maestros de Esgrima (Fencing Masters) is great. It details the various fencing schools of the time, and give a great list of the maneuvers available for each of them. The edition is as good as the main book's, and the art and quotes (from Perez-Reverte as well as other sources, if I recall correctly), the fluff in general, are great. More than worth checking out.

It was the last book for the first ed of Aquelarre. The rules stuff from it was included in the 2nd ed, with part of the fluff.
