Category: Sagas of the Icelanders: The Game

I like the tri-fold playbooks used in Apocalypse World, so I made these for the Sagas of the Icelanders games I’m going to run. There’s a rolebook for each of the roles, a basic moves books, and then fronts books for each of the six gods.

Note: Link goes to a 9.4 MB PDF.

There was a good bit of empty space after I added the most crucial stuff, so I tried to fill it with some other relevant bits from the book. Sometimes there was still a good bit of empty space, but I figured that could be useful for notes and such.

I haven’t playtested these at all yet. There may be errors. Some of the stuff that I thought might be helpful might not be quite so helpful after all. I’d say it’s probably pretty likely that I’ll be making some changes once I do use them in actual play. If you see something that I’ve missed or gotten wrong, though, please comment below so I can fix it.

Let’s ask provocative questions! Here’s one I’m going to start with:

Were you born in Iceland?

If yes, then:

What clan do you belong to?

Where did your parents come from?

Why did they come to Iceland?

And if no:

Where did you come from?

Why did you come to Iceland?
