We are immensely excited to announce the launch of Sagas of the North – Chaosium’s Age of Vikings community content program on DriveThruRPG. A place where you can find – and create – self-published content to ‘use at the table’ when playing the Age of Vikings role-playing game.
Age of Vikings is a role-playing game in a world of myth and adventure in the deep and vibrant setting of Icelandic sagas. At the edge of the known world, free from tyranny, heroes take bold action to preserve honour and protect property and family, earning glory through heroic deeds!
The goal of the Sagas of the North community content program is to provide an easy-to-use process enabling you to publish your work quickly and simply, without unnecessary costs, so you can focus on what you do best – designing and writing great ‘use at the table’ content. Your work will be available for sale on the online marketplace hosted by OneBookShelf, making it available to fans of Chaosium, and especially Age of Vikings, everywhere.
You’ll find original scenarios, background material, settings, mythology, stats for NPCs and monsters, and more, exploring the mythic Iceland and beyond. Read our content guidelines for what is and isn’t allowed in Sagas of the North.
As with all of our fan-driven programs, its success will be reliant on a thriving community of creators and a growing number of titles available to our community to facilitate play at their table. We encourage you to get involved!
Creators can offer their work free of charge, set a price, or offer it as pay-what-you-want. Previous community content initiatives have seen significant success, with many titles achieving 500+ sales at DriveThruRPG.
Chaosium runs several community content programs that enable fans to self-publish material for their tabletop role-playing games, including Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest and Pendragon.
Sagas of the North, as with our other community content programs, provides you with access to knowledge, support and tools to enable you to create and publish your ideas.
We encourage you to write material covering the Commonwealth period and have your adventurers raid and trade across the wider world. Choose a setting, myth, saga or other aspect you are passionate about!
Your first step is to read the Sagas of the North Community Content page. Here, you will find links to the Content Guidelines, FAQ, and other creator resources, as well as helpful information.
We also suggest that you explore our creator resources on DriveThruRPG, which include templates in Word, InDesign (and Affinity Publisher), and some free art assets to help bring your writing to life.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Chaosium’s Community Content Ambassadors: Don (Sagas of the North), Bridgett (Miskatonic Repository), Mark (Companions of Artur), and Nick (Jonstown Compendium).
