Nordic Skalds, who, according to their Kickstarter, is Sweden Rolls’ infamous GM has earned tens of thousands of Pounds in pledges and hundreds of backers for Windheim & Horn of the Dawn.
Windheim & Horn of the Dawn is an early Dragonbane supplement and the first part of the Horn of the Dawn campaign. You can find out more or support the project.
The Revenge for the Fallen is out now as a free download, and it’s a sample of what Nordic Skalds can do.
Windheim & Horn of the Dawn is part of the official Open Game License from Free League to the Dragonbane community. That means this is not a Free League project but should fall within their guidelines.
There are two books on offer in this project, each one about 70 to 80 pages and both potentially (depending on funding success) in hardcover.
The group asked for SEK 60,000 to fund, and with just shy of a fortnight left to run, there are more than SEK 350,000 in pledges.
Windheim is an island, a colony of the Bastionian empire ruling most of the known world of Eshfera. The bastionites are a human and halfling culture worshipping Thrakon, the ruling deity of the pantheon. On Windheim their power is strong but not quite as dominant as in the rest of the world
A pledge of SEK 5 (£1) is enough to buy you add-on access; to date, no one has gone for that. Fans are sold for a higher commitment than that.
A backing of £14 will get you all the PDFs, which is both books and any digital stretch goals.
Then, at £29, backers will be thanked with physical books and add-on access.
Leaping up to £64 (aka SEK 890) gets a host of maps for the campaign and setting as well as the core books.
A £100 tier lets backers create an NPC with the perks of the previous tiers, and there’s a retailer option too.
Nordic Skalds haven’t run a Kickstarter before and estimate Jan 2024 for the PDFs and February 2024 for the paper books.
