This is a shot in the dark and I expect many a greasy pepperoni fart, but are there any good settings that focus heavily on Scandinavian folklore? I'm not looking for hard historical stuff and WFRP is a little too far off doing its own thing. System suggestions are welcome, too - I'm leaning towards stuff that enables the bullshit super-heroics you see in stories about Nordic heroes. Already looking at SW and BoL.
>>96870797Good news yesBad news myfarog
>>96870797SSSS?
scat fetishists are subhuman
>>96870873I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that acronym.>>96870839Is it actually worth mining for ideas? I should have mentioned as well that I do intend Christianity to be a growing force in this game.
>>96870797myfarog is pretty freat i've played it al ot of times with my friends we are in a group
>>96870939im sorry that i dont know. it's a heavily scandinavian pseudohistorical game. thats all i know
>>96870797I think there is something called Vaesen?
>>96870939Stay Still Stay Silent, it's scandinavian fantasy post-apo
>>96871014Yep, with am excellent artist in Egerkrans, though it's set in the late modern era and the monsters in it are far more dangerous than normal RPG fare.
>>96870797I dont get the fart reference. Have I lost touch or are the kids wrong?
>>96871101It's just one kid really, but he's so very wrong it stinks up the whole board.
>>96871014>>96871082So do you need anything beyond the core rulebook to run it?
>>96871101There's a poster who responds to threads with a pepperoni fart. Though typically only genuine garbage threads like 'do you have dogs in your game?' or to puckee.
Pendragon had a book called "Land Of Giants", which was set in a Beowulf-inspired Scandi-land. I can't remember a lot about it off the top of my head, but it could be worth looking for, even if only for ideas to mine.
Pepperoniposter is extremely based and never misses
>>96870873I will never not be incredibly sad that Minna turned into a cultist.
>>96870797Sex with a nøkk.
>>96870797this reads like a thinly veiled Vaessen shill thread because what OP requests is so aligned with what Vaessen is about it's like OP was designed this wayBut I shall allow it because it looks like a cool gamePSHaven't tried it yet, waiting for a dude in a town next to me to start gathering a group
>>96871141>>96871082Væsen is great, but it's really not what OP asked for>bullshit super-heroics you see in stories about Nordic heroes
>>96871456Pc's in vaesen get fucking wrecked anytime they try anything heroic. Half the time they're put out of commision by failed sanity checks before any violent confrontation occurs. It is much more similar to CoC than any other game, even though the mechanics are very different.
>>96871460other vaessen anon hereOK you are right, guess Vaessen isn't what OP asked forHell, at least it proves it's not a shill thread
>>96871460I'm still not against it being discussed. It's certainly something that can be mined for its monsters and lore, at the very least.
>>96871319>Minna turned into a cultistExplain.
Trudvang or Forbidden Lands, at least in art.Trudvang is getting a Dragonbane adaptation soon so it will be easier to find a copy and run.
>>96870797>Fate of the Norns: Ragnarokis the best one. You actually get to throw runestones while playing. Others to check out:>Mythic Iceland>Wolves Upon the Coast>Sagas of the Icelanders>Vikings rollspiel>GURPS Vikings

Varg abandoned MYFAROG in favour of a new game, Reconquest (stylized ReconQuest for some reason).For now, it's on sale on the Amazon and will probably be up on the high seas soon.
>>96874444>It has a falcata and Falx.Dangerously based.
>>96874521It's supposed to represent a wide variety of European cultures, from South Italy, Greece and Spain to Finland and Norway. The setting itself is a bit more fantastic, though, and Varg seems to think long campaigns where character level caps actually matter should be the main form of play, but with the stability of an average gaming group it's safe to think it will probably not be the case.
>>96874413Yes, and?
>>96874444>ReconQuestProbably because of RuneQuest, possibly a pun because Reconquete is a far-right party in France (where Varg is living), certainly a thinly veiled reference to the Reconquista in Spain.
>>96877763Are there any systems where you drive the Mohammedian out of Iberia?
>>96877781Paladins, a Pendragon spin-off.But not really because Charlemagne gave up after a bit.Aquelarre takes place during the latter half of the Reconquista. But allows you to be anyone from Hispania and mostly peasantry dealing with the supernatural.
>>96877763I tought Varg didn't consider us Spaniards white.
>>96870797If you like Dungeon World, there's a pretty good norse folkloric fantasy setting book for it.
>>96877730Faggot.
>>96872319>You actually get to throw runestones while playing.That sounds like it would be hard on the table, and the floor.
>>96882388Yes, and?
>>96870797Trudvang
