Ragnarok: Age of Wolves

Ragnarok: Age of Wolves is a skirmish-level game for novice and experienced tabletop gamers alike that emulates the desperate small-scale actions that might result during the unending winter that is the first stage of the Viking Apocalypse.

As crops fail and food grows scarce, banditry becomes rife as formerly good folk are driven to extremes and bad men take advantage of chaos and hardship. Monsters haunt the wilds and prowl the outskirts of palisaded settlement and isolated steading alike. Huldrfolk, never easy neighbors, but generally peaceful if left undisturbed, now move to defend their sacred groves and to seize places once devoted to gods who now seem absent. Trolls and their ilk gather, marauders sweep brigands and more into their bands, and whispers abound of gaunt giant wolves and worse, glimpsed in the swirl of a snowstorm. And where such beasts and everlasting winter hold sway, the Frost Giants cannot be far behind ...

Ragnarok: Age of Wolves is a set of fun, fast-playing, and evocative rules that allow you to fight out the desperate battles and skirmishes of the Fimblvintr. It also includes a four-part campaign to take you through the struggle of one man trying to preserve something of his honor, his life, and the people and creatures who depend on him for survival. Finally, we have given you everything you need to expand the strife to include the other creatures and Sagas of the Ragnarok!
