{"product_id":"basic-roleplaying-age-of-vikings-board-game","title":"Basic Roleplaying: Age of Vikings Board Game","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRaid, Trade, and Rule the North\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Age of Vikings is not a gentle era. It is a world of longships cutting through grey seas, of shieldwalls and sagas, of gods who walk closer to the earth and fate that must be earned in blood and deed. \u003cem\u003eBasic Roleplaying: Age of Vikings\u003c\/em\u003e from Chaosium drops you into that world with the mechanical backbone of one of tabletop roleplaying's most enduring systems — Basic Roleplaying, the same percentile-based engine that has powered Call of Cthulhu for decades. Here, that engine trades fog-shrouded New England for the fjords of Scandinavia, and the result is a grounded, historically flavoured Viking RPG with real mechanical teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEverything at the Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete, self-contained roleplaying game — everything needed to both play and run Age of Vikings is contained within a single volume. Character creation, the core rules for action and conflict, advancement, and the tools a Game Master needs to build and run campaigns in the Viking Age are all here. No separate Game Master's guide. No supplemental player's handbook. One book, one era, ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt on the Basic Roleplaying system, character abilities are expressed as percentile skills — you roll under your skill percentage to succeed, and advancement comes from use rather than abstract levelling. It is an intuitive, simulationist approach that suits the gritty realism of Viking-era play exceptionally well. Expect rules that take combat seriously, that honour the period's mythology, and that reward players who engage with the culture and stakes of the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho Should Bring This Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the complete starting point — new players and veteran Game Masters alike can sit down with this volume and get a campaign underway. If you have played Call of Cthulhu or any other BRP-based game, the core mechanics will feel immediately familiar while the setting offers something entirely different in tone and scope. If you are new to percentile-based systems, the BRP engine is one of the most approachable in the hobby. Viking history enthusiasts, fans of Norse mythology, and players who want their fantasy grounded in real-world culture rather than high fantasy convention will find this a compelling addition to the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChaosium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBasic Roleplaying (BRP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBook Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Rulebook (Complete Standalone)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGM + Players\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoftcover \/ Hardcover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Chaoisum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44630196617304,"sku":"68825328","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/anBn_899fac8d-739f-482a-8acd-f36c63ba9793.jpg?v=1787250724","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/basic-roleplaying-age-of-vikings-board-game","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
