Adventuring is a dangerous and thankless business. Few people would do it if they had any other choices - it's the rare adventurer that lives long enough and gets rich enough to retire from the life. Only the Fates can know where your thread of destiny will take you, but the right bit of knowledge at the right time might make all the difference!

The Lore Master's Manual is a collection of optional rules that add depth and nuance to the Torchbearer RPG. It includes a new character stock and three new classes, new traits, new skills, new invocations and spells, more and better equipment and optional rules for dealing with character death.

For Game Masters there are new conflicts (warfare, spiritual bindings, and negotiations), travel and weather rules, rules for building long-term base camps, new settlement types, more and richer loot, and a slew of new monsters.
