BRP Characters: Two Vikings

Wherein your humble scribe, flying in the face of his current obsession with scifi settings, presents a couple of Vikingesque characters for BRP.

Olvir the Owl and his belovéd, the witch called Runa Foglsdottir, set sail in a longship with two dozen of the Jarl’s finest warriors with the twin goals of conquest and plunder. The sea, it seems, had other plans. Now only the pair remain, shipwrecked on unknown shores. As the storm clouds recede and night begins to fall, strange cries and howls can be heard from within the dense forest just beyond the shore. Runa recalls tales of a land walked by men who become beasts when the sun sets and the air is fresh with rain and the rocks sated with the blood of the drowned. But surely such things are only the mad dreams of feverish sailors. Surely.

    Hi 🙂
    I´m a spanish blogger and roleplayer. I´ve seen and downloaded “ghost of acheron” . It´s a great adventure.
    I would like to translate into Spanish and adapt the system to Fate.
    Would you give me permission to do so?

    sorry for the bad english. I´ve tried to comment on the entry of the adventure but it´s not allowed.

    thanks in advance

      Howdy! Thanks for your interest, amigo. I’m not the author of Ghost (or any of the other BoL adventures), but I have passed your information along to the gentleman who contributed them to the site. He’s the only one who can give you the permission to translate & adapt the adventure. I’m sure he’ll contact you soon.

      Also, your English is much better than my Spanish, so there’s no need to apologize 🙂
