"This Favored Land" is a
sourcebook for the "Wild Talents" roleplaying game set during the
American Civil War. Players take the role of The Gifted, ordinary
people who—by divine providence or pure chance—have been granted
extraordinary powers. Occasionally seen as saviours, they are most
often scorned and hunted as sorcerers and demons, witches and
charlatans.

Whether heroes or villains, The
Gifted are forced by the superstitions of the day to hide from
public scrutiny. But they can't escape their nation's greatest
crisis. Whether they are spying for the Confederacy in Washington,
riding with Quantrill in Missouri, or marching with Sherman through Georgia,
The Gifted must make the difficult choice between using their powers
and avoiding the dangers of discovery. If The Gifted can survive the
ordeals of war, they—like their nation—will be changed forever.

Written by Allan Goodall and
illustrated by Todd Shearer, "This Favored Land" includes everything
you need for a thrilling Civil War campaign: Detailed rules adapting
"Wild Talents" to the war; weapons and rules for the deadly injuries
that made Civil War battles so infamous; an in-depth history of the
Civil War; a complete scenario to begin play at once; and much more.
