Iskloft - Grim Viking 5E

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"Cattle die, kinsmen die. You yourself must some day die. Yet I know one thing which never dies. The judgement of a dead man's deeds." - Havamal. 

Reaver_01.jpg

Iskloft. A frigid land of honour, brutality, greed and glory. Here, raiders sail the coasts, huskarls stand in shield walls, strange monsters lurk in the deep woods, and witches speak their curses. Jarls scheme in their longhalls, each trying to survive and even thrive in this harsh world. 

Iskloft is a viking themed setting for the 5th edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game. 

Inside Iskloft you'll find:

  • 134 pages of content, explaining the world, its customs, its people, and its new rules.
  • 6 classes. Play as the sacred Berserker, the stoic warrior Drengr, the world-wise wanderer Kyrrgangr, the warlord and commander Hersir, the shunned and hated Outlaw, or the mystical and powerful Seiðr.
  • Ninecultures, called Aettir, to replace race options. 
  • Culture specific feats, called Hefðir, including options that only the Drengr (the Fighter) can use, allowing them to specialise in combat forms.
  • 12 backgrounds, ranging from simple farmer or fisherman, to the disfigured, or the raiding viking.
  • New Mechanics! New skills, rules for journeys and traveling, new rules for Stress and mental trauma, rules for hunting and types of land, new conditions, and rules for weapons degrading over time. 
  • Journey rules for traversing Iskloft (or any place)
  • New equipment, and powerful relics. 
  • Brutal Wounds. A critical hit brings dire consequences. Tables for lingering wounds for each type of damage, and for each location. This system is integrated into the classes, allowing some to deal particularly gruesome wounds.
  • Three entirely new magic systems: The songs of Odin, the power of runes, and the Nidðgaldr, which allows a caster to become possessed by spirits for power.
  • An adventure to bring you into the setting.
  • A bestiary, including many denizens of the world, and some of the strange and mighty monsters that lurk within it.

I just purchased the PDF and I'm loving it, but I found one problem: the Nidingr subclass has no 9th level feature. It also seems strange that they only ever learn 2 Questionable tactics, so I assume they're supposed to learn more.

Just filled the Form on Kickstarter for my softcover book a second time because I have not received my book until now. Was there any trouble with the delivery for the printed books to Germany? Please give me a possibility to contact the author or tell me how I can get my printed book.

Still no PoD?
And looks like no communication from the creator's side at all.

Hi Patrick,

Yep, still no PoD. I've uploaded the files and am awaiting input from Drivethru. PoD is coming soon.

Looks like you're pretty good in keeping promises. Guess many of your backers can confirm that.

So I'm assuming the Iskloft_Digital.pdf is a sort of v1.5 of Iskloft?
What changes have been made for it compared to previous versions?

In running a session 0, I noticed that the lifepath tables were a tad clunky if not a little confusing. One of the players who is a software engineer / programmer created this Lifepath Generator website to accommodate that. Simply refresh the page and it will spit out a full life path for your iskloft character!

in the current version for the "Niðingr" there seems to be no table for questionable tactics and tactic points, theirs also no 9th level feature listed. Also, the "berserker" feature "beserkergang" says that it "takes 1 minute to fully immerse yourself in the Berserkergang.", but the 7th level "berserker" feature says that "You can now enter the Berserkergang state in 1 minute, instead of taking 10 minutes." implying that the unimproved berserkergang takes 10 minutes rather than 1. Will these be fixed in the future?

P.S just wanted to add that I really like this book; it's quality is superb and my only issues are the ones stated above :)

Do you ever plan on adding a trade goods table with prices to show much hacksilver bartered stuff is?

In addition will there be any little pieces of text added on the Standards of Living for each category, like a small explanation of what a Rich lifestyle should expect or a Poor lifestyle or so on?

Like how the 5e SRD shows here what you should expect say a "Wretched" lifestyle should be like, for example: https://www.5esrd.com/equipment/expenses/

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
