Loner: Norse Saga

Your deeds will be remembered. Or they won't. The Viking Age does not forgive the weak, the oathbreaker, or the forgotten. You are a warrior, a skald, a seeress, a raider — defined not by numbers on a sheet but by what you have done and what others say about you. Honor is your currency. Shame is worse than death. Loner: Norse Saga is a minimalist solo RPG that puts you alone at the table with four dice, a pencil, and the weight of fate. The Oracle guides what happens next — impartial, matter-of-fact, like a saga narrator recording history. Raid foreign shores. Navigate blood feuds that outlast their origins. Stand at the Thing and speak your case. Challenge your enemy to holmgang. Listen to a völva's prophecy and wonder what it truly means. The draugr are real. The gods are distant. Your oath binds you. Inside: six Viking origins, the Oracle system, honor and Hamingja mechanics, blood feuds, seidr magic, seasonal play, and tables for names, twists, and saga inspiration. No game master required. No preparation needed. Pick up the dice. Begin your saga.
