Another chance to flesh out one of my settings. This time we're a mercenary, somewhere on Midgard. Let's go to the Ginnungagap! What is the deal with my cleric's religion?You worship all the Gods, but one more than others - you know the sacred rites of Odin or Loki better than those of the other … Continue reading Ginnungagap – a game of twenty questions

Draft One Page Campaign Opener – Ginnungagap
The many atmosphere processing plants have mysteriously shut down, and without them the air of Midgard is quickly becoming colder. In the past, the gods or their representatives would have arrived to repair the ancient mechanisms in short order. None have arrived this time. The age of the Fimbulwinter has come. The gods have grown … Continue reading Draft One Page Campaign Opener – Ginnungagap
Ginnungagap – Expanded first adventure opening
So I've been writing about this thing for a long time, but my opener has for years just looked like this: "The many atmosphere processing plants have mysteriously shut down, and without them, the air of Midgard is quickly becoming colder. In the past, the gods or their representatives would have arrived to repair the … Continue reading Ginnungagap – Expanded first adventure opening
Quick rules changes of the Ginnungagap
So, some quick changes and additions: Honour stat - because I feel like it will be important to the setting. I need to work on appropriate tests for it. It will definitely be important with dealing with gods...(Yeah, just going to leave that hook hanging there) Additional skills - Computer Use, Engineering, Navigate/Pilot (I haven't … Continue reading Quick rules changes of the Ginnungagap
Classes of the Ginnungagap
I've been reading around what other people have worked into sci-fi D&D rules around the internet, and I'll be pinching and tweaking and fiddling as I go. A good portion of what I'm working with comes from Fifth Age, though I'm going for a lasers and sorcery setting so there's the thorny issue of magic … Continue reading Classes of the Ginnungagap
Races of the Ginnungagap
So I've been having a little brainstorm today about the different races of the Ginnungagap that I would allow for players. I know it's a sci-fi setting, so why not Warforged/robots you ask? Well, they're in the setting. But they're the bad guys, agents of the Frost and Fire Giants (bigger robots). I changed up … Continue reading Races of the Ginnungagap
More Ginnungagap
I completely forgot about the alternate factions I'd come up with so far! So I've got the Iron Brotherhood, the Black Network, and the Combine Council. The Iron Brotherhood are mercenaries and warriors, sort of fill the role of the Order of the Gauntlet. But depending on the locality, they might be the local … Continue reading More Ginnungagap
Ginnungagap revisited
Since finishing my cyberpunk A-Z, I've been thinking back on other ideas that I've had rattling around for a few years, and went back to thinking about my sci-fi D&D setting with space vikings. In the interim since me talking about it, it seems that a good few other people have been working on … Continue reading Ginnungagap revisited
Redux! Worlds of the Ginnungagap
How soon is too soon for a retcon? NEVER! I was unhappy with the cosmology I'd created, so I've tweaked it a little bit, and it should be a better fit for how I want the game to be set up. I actually started writing this a couple of days after my last post, but … Continue reading Redux! Worlds of the Ginnungagap
Vikings! An Update
My great habits of updating often have suddenly fallen by the wayside. I'm claiming it's because of only having a semi-functional keyboard, but I could still use the phone or my tablet (as I am now) if I really wanted to. I've been very slowly thinking about the space viking game. I've had a rethink … Continue reading Vikings! An Update
Vikings… IN SPAAAAAACE!
I've been thinking a lot lately about a Viking-styled d&d game, and I've come up with a few ideas. However, since I've also been playing a lot of Mass Effect, been reading some of Marvel's Battle world stuff and thinking about the Thor Corps, AND partly inspired by the article over on the D&D website, … Continue reading Vikings… IN SPAAAAAACE!
