Homebrew Viking Survival Campaign: Explorers, Crafters, Warriors

Pathfinder 2e | Campaign

About the adventure

Greetings, Jarl! I am forming a new expedition and calling the toughest warriors to a Nordic campaign. Prepare to face serious threats in uncharted lands where every resource is hard-earned, and your fate rests on your ability to gather, craft and fight. In this campaign you will sail to unexplored lands. First, you will have to secure your immediate surroundings and build up some defenses while holding the line against threats. After basic safety is achieved, you will need more resources to build and repair, to harvest and farm, mine and forge equipment. Explore the land, uncover its hidden resources, clear monster-infested points of interest such as mines, fertile fields, harvest ingredients from the land and monsters you slay. Everybody gets a free crafting feat, so prepare to forge and create the gear that will ensure your survival. * Roleplay: Become a Norse Character: whether it’s a berserker with a dane axe, a viking warrior with shield and sword, a Skald (battle Bard), or maybe a Priest of Odin? I welcome all builds and encourage homebrew characters to bring your own creative flair to this expedition! * Combat: Your luck with the dice should be secondary to your planning. I love when a deadly battle becomes easy through player ingenuity. Use your skills, spells, and tactics wisely, stock up on potions, cast your spells, carefully plan your attack, and be strategic. Every battle will be a risk if you are unprepared. And don't worry if you’re new to Pathfinder 2e, I’ll teach everything you need to know. What is more important than familiarity with the rules is the desire to overcome tough challenges. Pathfinder has an amazing martial combat system that will really shine in a Viking campaign! Session 0 and 1 are free. I look forward to seeing your legends unfold. Skål!

How will character creation work

We can create characters in Session 0 or by chat. Nordic archetypes: While I am open to any character, they will have to fit in a Nordic world. The vibe will be very important for immersion. Ancestries like elves and dwarves will work. Anything monstrous like Goblin or Kobold may be best in another campaign. All classes are available as long as they have a place in Nordic mythology. Any martial class is no problem. Priests, druids, potion brewers (alchemist) are very welcome. Wizards and sorcerers can work if you give them a nordic spin. I have to say "no sorry" to inventor, artificer, gunner, etc.
