Imagine a band of travellers on the long road from St Albans to London - a dangerous journey in troubled times. Which will YOU be? - An alchemist - skilled in the dark arts of magick - A rogue - on the run from justice - A noble lady - on her way to stir up intrigue at court - A spy - disguised as a herbalist, carrying vital messages to the king - Or any one of a host of different characters... YOU choose the characters, YOU decide the missions and YOU have the adventures in the turbulent world of Europe in the sixteenth century - either as a player or as the referee. Complete with Beginners and Advanced Rules, Referees's Notes, maps, charts and a solo adventure to get you started, Maelstrom is a great game for three or more players.

Excerpt from The Poems of Alexander Scott: Edited From the Bannatyne Manuscript in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, and the Maitland Manuscript in the Library of Magdalen College, Cambridge The monks at a certain monastery were accustomed to listen at meal-times to a discourse on the life of one of the deceased members Of their order. One day the reader gave out a name unfamiliar to them all, and he alarmed the hungry brethren by announcing that he would group his remarks under three headings. Firstly, What do we know Of our deceased brother? Secondly, is his history authentic? Thirdly, can further light be expected? The alarm that dinner would grow cold was dispelled, as the reader proceeded to say that under the first head he had but one observation - That we know very little about the deceased brother; and as to the second, he stated that the little we did know was very doubtful; and under the third, his only remark was that it was extremely unlikely we shall ever know more. It is an unpleasant fact that this discourse might be made concerning several Scottish writers, and on none more appropriately than Alexander Scott.
