Sagas of the Icelanders

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Sagas of the Icelanders is a tabletop roleplaying game based on Apocalypse World by Vincent and Meguey Baker. It was originally crowdfunded and published way back in 2013. 

Like others in the Powered by the Apocalypse family it supports an open-ended style of play, focused on drama and personal conflict. Changing the limitless post-apocalyptic landscape for a specific historial frontier, it throws the characters into precarious social situations dictated by their own traditions. 

The game begins sometime after the year 874, when the first Norse settlers set foot on Iceland. They were escaping war, poverty and the dissolution of their political freedoms on the mainland. Their families and the people that followed claimed the empty lands, free from rulers and religious pressures, and became lone farmers, determined to survive in this harsh new environment. 

In Sagas of the Icelanders you play as one of these settlers between the end of the 9th and 10th centuries, also known as the Saga Period. You need to weigh between upholding your honour, your freedom, or the lives of you and your family. Challenge harsh social norms, get drawn into bloody feuds, and fight to survive another winter. Tell the stories of the settlers’ families, their lives, trials and legacies. Build a new society from scratch and discover or change history as you forge a veritable Saga worthy of echoing through time.

This purchase includes the PDF of the rules book, player and MC sheets and an illustrated map of Iceland.

Any chance for an updated pdf? There are quite a few typos, one right on the cover (Icelandic settlers in in the saga period).

Any chance of a print-on-demand version of this? I'd love to have a hard copy.

As a fan of these sagas I’m very interested in this game. Is there a preview coming soon?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
