Grab your sword, don your furry boots and head up North for some Swords and Sorcery action with D101’s latest release for OpenQuest, its OGL D100 game.
The Savage North!
“Know, oh Emperor, that between the years when the Dragon Drakkar froze the evil Serpent Empire and the rise of your own father’s domain to the south, there arose barbarian kingdoms in the Savage North…”
Contained within is a Saga of Swords and Sorcery action set in cold barbarian lands, where savage warriors stalk evil monsters in mist shrouded forests.
New lands and religions to explore and four adventures for OpenQuest. This book is also compatible with other D100 systems.
