Forums of the Megaverse®

the wild hunt is a bit of folklore from europe, about dark spectral riders who are on some sort of eternal hunt. sometimes connected with the Fae, othertimes with norse or celtic Deity, or whatever the regional boogyman is.

i did a search on the forums to see if palladium has done anything with them, but turned up nothing. does any one know if the Wild Hunt has shown up in a palladium product before? i'm fairly sure it hasn't shown up in RIFTS before, but i'm not so sure about BTS1 or PFRPG, which are the two other places that are likely to have something.

Not in BtS, and not in any PFRPG I've seen.

No, they haven't.
It would be nice if someone wrote in the rest of the gods and goddesses of the Celts, Cymry, and Cluithi... then we'd see Herne and his hounds chasing splugorth minions through the night...

actually, it's not celtic, it's germanic. it's much more commonly mentioned in the folklore of germanic regions (germany, sweden, norway, denmark).

it likely inflitrated the celtic mythology by way of the angles, saxons, Danes, and normans, in roughly that order.

i was just considering using the wild hunt as a germanic themed terror in my games, and wanted to know if any official stats had been done before. i'd hate to double up on the efforts..

I haven't read such a thing before from my Palladium books. However being a northen mythology maybe you could get something in Pantheons of Megaverse and Conversion Book 1.

Hope this helps.

Nope, haven't seen it either.

looks like i have free reign then..

There are no mentions of them in either Gods & Dragons nor in Pantheons of the Megaverse an I have yet to personally see them in any PB product .

I am curious as to how you give them the treatment I am looking forword to see'ing what ya do wittem

I have an intrest in more of the celtic pantaon my self, and would like to see how you do this to... and I wonder how would you handle what thay where hunting for. in some myths it is lost souls, in some cases thows whom are evil and desreve hell, any one worthing to join the hunt ie the brave good or evil, or any one that made them mad, or any one that gets in there way

I do like the idea of seeing them chase the splagrith minons throw the night, and or the sc troops.... he he

Well, I don't know about that. Prior to and during Roman times most of Gaul was Celtic, and the next group to the east were Germanic, so the Wild Hunt could have entered Celtic myths much earlier than you're suggesting here.

that is true but john mathews put forth an intersting idea, in that what of the cups and cauldrens depected not a god, but a shamen
