Nordström Institute [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

System:
Dragonbane

Adventure:
a Vaesen adventure with modifications

Setting:
Homebrew world, based on the Dragonbane setting.
To the south are the temperate civilised area, where humans, dwarfs and halflings live in civilised coexistence. Elves are rare but they do find a place among men.

OOC:

Think 17-1800s middle europa

To the north and west are the wild colder areas. More savage and tribal than down south. This is also where you find animals in men's form. Wolfkin, Catfolk and Malards

OOC:

Think 10-1200s north europa, late viking age

Magic is real and wild. There are those to spend years taming it to serve the needs of men. But there are areas, especially to the north where there is no wizards or mages to calm the wild forces, and there magic does what it pleases.

Gods could be real or just the imagination of those who need an easy explanation as to why things are as they are. There could be beings that are immensely more powerful than dragons or demons, but they don't answer payers.

Character Generation Info

You are investigators from the Nordström Institute. A prestigious institute founded by the mage Folksvang Gerna, but has grown beyond simple magical research. It is a stabilising factor and when the common people find something strange/odd/mysterious then they ask the institute for help. It is located in the northern part of the civilised lands.

We use the standard character creation rules with the following exceptions:
1: Max 1 elf in the group. They are rare after all.
2: No Mallard, wolfkin or other animal hybrids. You are from the civilised lands.
3: As an institute investigator, your gear is good-quality. When making gear rolls for food, silver etc all are maxed. ie D6 silver = 6 silver
4: The Heroic Ability under each profession are guidelines, but not mandatory. Each profession gets 1, except the mage
5: A "game session" will end at the end of our calendar month where skills can be increased during a downtime scene.
6: All optional rules apply
