About the adventure
Northlands Sagas takes into an epic story of gods, giants, cults, frozen seas, ancient prophecy, and hard-won glory. This is mythic Norse-inspired fantasy where mortal heroes are drawn into the schemes of Loki, the shadow of Ragnarok, and a war that could decide the fate of gods and mortals alike. ᚱ A Saga Against Ragnarok: Follow the trail of the Cult of Ragnarok across rime-shrouded lands, haunted barrows, storm-lashed coasts, giant halls, sacred places, and the branches of myth itself. ᚱ Gods, Giants, and Fate: A campaign steeped in Northlands myth: Loki’s bargains, the Norns’ riddles, Fenris’s chains, cloud giant politics, divine secrets, and enemies who believe the world must burn. ᚱ Heroic Fantasy with Teeth: Expect exploration, brutal wilderness, desperate defenses, dangerous diplomacy, dungeon delves, and battles against monstrous foes. Steel and spellcraft will carry you far, but cunning, courage, and loyalty may matter just as much. ᚱ Become Chosen of the Runes: Each hero carries a Runestone tied to one of the gods of the North, unlocking new powers as the saga grows.

About me
I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.
