A downloadable game


Based on real-world research on the source of Viking weapon-steel, and set in Jutland around the year 1000, this is a linked pair of scenarios for a Nordic, Viking-feel setting, such as  Saga of the Icelanders, Ironsworn, or Yggdrasill.

Our heroes are looking for an epic weapon to be forged for them by a famous smith. The catch? The smith needs two ingredients for her ritual: Bog-Iron from the nearby Borremose Bog, and the Ancestors’ Bones for Bone-Coal from graves around the abandoned God-House at Fyrkatborgen. Retrieving both sets of components will be dangerous activities that are fraught with danger and unexpected challenges.

How many players do you recommend for your game?

Also, are the pics beside the maps AI generated?

Hi Dragon Queen! As the two scenarios are system agnostic, it is not "balanced" for a particular number of players. With some care by the GM and minor adjustments it could work well with just one player. That said, three or four players might work best.

With respect to AI art - as a totally non-commercial project (not pay-what-you want, but totally free) it does use some AI assets. 

Hope this helps!
