Description

The Midgard Tales hardcover collects 13 adventures that reach out to remake classic themes, such as a demon-haunted mountain, a tribe of orcs and their hideous goddess, and the lost library of House Stross. These are adventures to be remembered, adventures to shake the foundations of complacency and "just another dungeon."

Throughout the history of the tabletop roleplaying game hobby, some adventures have forever defined a setting in the minds of gamers. For the Midgard Campaign Setting, that product is Midgard Tales from Kobold Press.

and much more!

Featuring the talents of designers Richard Pett, Crystal Frasier, and Ben McFarland, Midgard Tales will give gaming groups something to talk about for years to come!
