When Winter Came To Skedemosse is an adventure written for traditional roleplaying games and is fully compatible with Old-School Essentials.
The scenario is a historical low-fantasy setting set on the island Öland, during the Scandinavian Iron-Age (the Vendel Period).
Within you will find 42 pages of Iron Age goodness! A hex description with many interesting places, monsters and people to explore and meet. Use them as is or break them appart and place in your own campaign. You can drop the whole hex into most any fantasy setting and have it work well as is!
The setting is a “low-fantasy historical” setting. Trying to mimic not how the Scandinavian Iron-Age really was, but rather how the world might have been perceived at the time:
The gods were real
There were things, sentient things, hiding in the wood, in the ancient barrows, in the mountains and under the waves
Runes held real power
Your ancestors did conspire to protect you
There are also notes on how to make your OSE experience more flavorful when playing in the Scandinavian vendel period.
