Now that funding has been met, we have a bunch of really fun stretch goals coming up. There are 4 new player archetypes that are already unlocked. Each of the following archetypes also has 3 specializations that alter the role & powers.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">- The Blacksmith, inspired by the Dvergar, who can create wondrous magic artifacts</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">- The Druid, not high fantasy, but rather the celtic version that deals with wood, stars and song</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">- Berzerkir, rage and more rage, all the way up to Modr where bear shape is possible</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">- And the latest unlock which was the Angel of Death, a mysterious devotee of Hel</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">- ???<em>mystery archetype</em>??? still awaiting being unlocked.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">We also have aesthetic stretch goals. As we have done with past books, we aim to create a visual feast, but the ideal funds for end to end artwork differ from the minimums needed to produce a nice book. If we hit the next one, we can deliver a host of 2-page art spreads that depict the conflict within Midgard. There is a little bit of a "Game of Thrones" feel to the world because Ragnarok started with the death of King Harald "Fair Hair" (the first king to unify the petty kingdoms of Noveig). He was a promiscuous king, having many high-born and low-born children... oh and he left no clear lines of succession! So as we enter the second age of Ragnarok, negotiations have broken down and assassins have replaced words.

It deals with the Cornerstone of the World, the place where Yggdrasil holds up Midgard- a vital asset for both gods and Jotuns. We also introduce a new X-factor to the war, an ancient evil that has begun to stir- Nidhogg the proto-serpent. Some say that the Norns cannot render him on the tapestry of fate, granting him the ability to derail destiny! We may be able to add some additional vignettes to this saga as some intermediate stretch goals are announced. </span></span><img src="http://forum.rpg.net/images/smilies/wink.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">One of the next stretch goals is for URGS- Universal Runic Game System. We envision it as a GURPS meets FATE Core but with runes. The players have tried to adapt the Runic Game System to other campaign worlds, and we feel its our duty to help them. While the RGS at its core is as simple as every rune drawn is any cinematic action, creating new balanced skill/power content isn't trivial. We want it super simple, mapping the runes to a narrative (paragraph or bullet list) character description. We aim to remove arithmetic and distil it to achieving runic superiority. After performing a Wyrd (rune draw), you may "invoke your destiny" by consuming runes to achieve more rune pulls from your Essence bag... and you restore runes that were consumed by playing up your character's weaknesses and other story driven mechanics. The aim is to make it work for Cyberpunk to Zombie Apocalypse. Hopefully we can bundle this system into Denizens of the North.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'">Anyhow any questions you may have, fire away here or <em>preferably </em>on the Kickstarter page. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></span></span><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><span style="font-family: inherit"><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><strong></strong></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><span style="font-family: inherit"><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><strong></strong></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><span style="font-family: inherit"><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><strong></strong></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><span style="font-family: inherit"><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><strong><span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="font-size: 10px"></span></span>PENDELHAVEN</strong></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.pendelhaven.com" target="_blank">http://www.pendelhaven.com</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://twitter.com/avalkauskas" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/avalkauskas</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'">FATE OF THE NORNS</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.fateofthenorns.com" target="_blank">http://www.fateofthenorns.com</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/fateofthenorns" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/fateofthenorns</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=3107" target="_blank">http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=3107</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/denizens-of-the-north" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/denizens-of-the-north</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/fate-of-the-norns-gulveig" target="_blank">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/fate-of-the-norns-gulveig</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/iron-runes-of-power" target="_blank">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/iron-runes-of-power</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/fate-of-the-norns-ragnarok-20th-anniversary-editio" target="_blank">http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avalkauskas/fate-of-the-norns-ragnarok-20th-anniversary-editio</a></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'">Twitter #FOTNR</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #121A0D"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'"></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
