Norse Grimoire
 is a 5th Edition supplement, designed to integrate Galdrastafir (Icelandic magical staves) and the Elder Futhark (the alphabet of the Runes of Knowledge) in your game sessions and campaigns.

This Grimoire is the follow-up to our work and research that started almost 20 years ago, which has given life to the Journey To Ragnarok project, our first Kickstarter campaign. With Norse Grimoire you can improve your Journey To Ragnarok sessions and setting, but you can also power up characters or worlds from any setting you like.

Our goal is to enhance both the Adventurer's and the Players' experience, adding game options and trying to transmit an ancient culture that we love.

To better understand Icelandic staves and the Runes, we decided to focus our research on ancient sources. Poetic and Prose Edda, along with Runic Poems, led our way on the path shaped by Odhinn in his journey through the Nine Worlds. For Icelandic symbols, we browsed through the pages of authentic grimoires filled with cryptic runes and staves, whose Norse echoes, sometimes bounded to continental magic, Middle Age esoteric or alchemical doctrine, unveiling a meaningful world permeated by magic.

  • Runes of Knowledge. A historical essay about the Runes, how they appear in Norse Mythology, and their role in the Divination.
  • Encrypted Runes. How to read them and how to use them for your secret message.
  • 24 Runes of the Elder Futhark. Their meaning, their story, and their use in Divination.
  • Icelandic Magical Staves. A historical essay about Iceland Mythology, the ancient grimoire, and the warlocks.
  • 33 Galdrastafir. Their origin, their rituals, and their magical effects.
  • Tattoos & Ritual Paintings. Game mechanics of the effects that Runes and Galdrastafir have on the skin of your characters or on the items.
  • Extensive Bibliography of the research that led us to this book

Everything is organized alphabetically. Nothing is organized by spell level. Our DM wanted to have a character change over to this system as a sort of surprise midgame (that worked out story wise) but it's proven basically impossible and I'm going to have to rewrite/reorganize everything for usability. Definitely a bummer. The description of this product also indicated it included all this stuff but it doesn't :

These cards are not meant to replace, but to complement, the Norse Grimoire. Which, by the way, is now available in German language - (5E - Journey to Ragnarok - Nordisches Grimoire) from Ulisses Spiele, in print or PDF.

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.
