About the adventure
HOOK: Centuries ago, upon a vast, beautiful, and wonderous world, a horde of vile beings known as the Yoten destroyed the heroic Vanir. The survivors fled to a new world, Grimnir. Vast and inhospitable, many died in the early years, Yet, it was a place to rebuild. Generations pass but the memory of the old world's death is never forgotten. Their descendants, the raiders, are ever vigilant and watch for the Yoten's return. You are one such hero destined by fate to bear witness to Grimnir's destruction-and perhaps fated to finally break your people free of the cycle of destruction and rebirth known as Ragnarök. FEATURING: -Tons of expanded material from dozens of different third party publishers -Living the fantasy of being a Viking! -Exploring the themes of destiny, death and glory... -Rise from the ranks of your clan... or become a legend from seemingly nowhere. -Choose from Epic Backgrounds that provide in game hooks and story beats throughout the adventure. So grab your axe, drink your mead and charge headfirst into glory!

About me
If RP and character driven stories sound good to you then we are in agreement. Epic fantasy adventures with a down to earth and relatable people, cities and stories are what I love the most. Heroes and villains are great, but what if there is more than just black and white? That is what I explore with my games and my players. My personal background has included writing, directing and acting in my own movies and skits. I have multiple works of fiction on multiple platforms, and I’m currently building up my own brand of TTRPG entertainment. I love to put my own spin on things, and I love working with others for the maximum amount of fun, whether it's custom rules or personal requests. I do like to push my players to RP to the best of their ability, as experience has shown: a little push can go a long way. VTT CHOICE AND EXPANDED MATERIALS: The VTT I mainly use is Fantasy Grounds as my VTT (Virtual Tabletop) of choice. I choose this primarily because it is both user friendly, while being the most customizable VTT out there (in my opinion). Fantasy Grounds is completely free for players and I do not expect my players to pay for anything other than the booking price. I have over 200 books for D&D 5e, Pathfinder 1e and Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition on this platform. All of them are both first party and third party. Feel free to ask if I have a specific book you’re looking for as I use these materials regularly in my games and encourage my players to try new things. I'm also an official GM for Warlock’s Sanctum and a Panel member of Heroes of the Multiverse. These are both communities that focus on getting players in games and having fun while trying new things. Feel free to say hello to me there or anywhere you may see me.

What Rob (RPG Mastery) brings to the table
I bring all of the automation I can bring to Fantasy Grounds Unity including but not limited to: -Auto math -Auto differentiation between those who made a save and those who did not (I.E. auto calculating who made their save when being hit by a fireball) -Calculating of health, Spell Save DC, Attack bonuses and damage -Auto accounting for spell preparation. and much more. I also have nearly every D&D 5e official book, along with a large array of Kobold Press material like Deep Magic, Tome of Heroes and Midgard adventure setting. They add 700+ spells and 50+ sub classes, races and class features. Most use 2014 rules.

Safety
How Rob (RPG Mastery) creates a safe table
Players can expect a balance of intrigue, horror, choices and harsh combat. All of this is supplemented by lots of Role Playing and story. This game contains many adult themes, horror, and disturbing elements. Player discretion is advised. This game will include the X card safety tool and my personal DM will always be open in case communication is needed for any reason.
