Svalbard

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Svalbard is a roguelike, standalone scenario that borrows elements from the world of H.P. Lovecraft. In this scenario, the characters will die a lot. But it is not a permadeath; they ‘respawn’, but do not reset. Each time, they bring back into the game the knowledge accumulated prior to their death which will enable them to progress. As they start to uncover the secrets and puzzles of the scenario, they begin to learn how to avoid their deaths altogether, and the goal of the scenario is no less than a ‘perfect run’ where the players complete the entire scenario without the death of a single character!

Through investigation, awareness, recollection, and comprehension, the players and their characters will experience a time-bending and relentless scenario as they are lost in time and space for an eventful evening! It is unlikely that your players have experienced anything like this in a role-playing game before.

Welcome to Svalbard.

Hey NEVR, how long do you think it would take to run through the module. Would it be measured in hours or sessions. Do you think it would be possible to play Svalbard in 4 hours. Also does the module come with pregen characters. Would it be possible to run the game with Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu.

Hi! Playtest and replies from actual play would give a playtime of about 4-5 hours, though it is highly adjustable – variants and suggestions written into the scenario.

Concerning pre-gen characters: You will not find fully fleshed pre-generated characters with occupation, background, names etc. accompanying “Svalbard”; what you will find (as described in the Introduction: Part 3), is the simplified game system for “Svalbard” and how partially pre-generated characters accompany that system. These pre-determined, partially pre-generated characters are lethal, trained soldiers, and the only decision by the player is their specialty (Body, Dexterity, or Intellect), name and some equipment. It should take about two minutes to create your character.

Svalbard can be played with the included, simplified game system, or adapted to any system of your choice. Specific variants for Call of Cthulhus D100-system is included.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
