GURPS: The Nordland Saga

New Players Welcome! The Norðlond Saga is a game set in the Norðlond setting, a Norse/Viking themed quasi-medieval high fantasy campaign setting (full of magic, fantasy races, and monsters) for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game (DFRPG), powered by GURPS, which was created by Douglas H. Cole of Gaming Ballistics and documented in the 10+ books that Doug and other authors have written about the setting.

New players will be starting in Nordvorn (Northwatch) on the Jotunnáin river, which is the west anchor point for Audreyn’s Wall (large Dwarven made magic wall protecting the Nordlonds from the dragonkin in the Dragongrounds) and the east anchor point for The Palisade (a large human made wooded wall protecting the Nordlonds from Winter Fae in the The Veiddarlond (the Hunted Lands)). Undead, fae, savage dragonkin and their allies, cultist, demons, giants, dragons, and even the Gods are likely to make an appearance. The current PCs include: Kato, a Greater Dragon Blooded Holy Warrior of the Goddess of Death, and is on a vision quest from the Goddess of Death, to prevent the rise of an evil undead force that will threaten the Norðlonds. Knut, a Björnhjarta (Bear-Folk) Wrestler, seeking adventure and his fortune in the Norðlonds. Backtooth, an Eðlufólk (Lizardfman) Scout from the Grey Marshes, an exile from his tribe, seeking his seeking adventure and his fortune in the Norðlonds, and maybe some revenge on his tribe. Andwise Neuberry, a Halfling Swashbuckler from the kingdom of Brousha to the south, possibly on the run from one of “The Families”, but definetly seeking adventure and his fortune in the Norðlonds.
