Valherjar: The Chosen Slain

Epic Roleplaying in a Modern Day Ragnarok

Whatever you believed would happen; you go to Heaven, burn in Hell, spin the next turn on some karmic wheel, or just fade like a flame, death was supposed to be the end of the struggle and strife of this life.

You fell valiantly, in one of the thousands of ways warriors always have; holding the line on some battlefield, tending to the wounded, defending hearth and home -- whatever it was, it defined you, and you died in the pursuit of an ideal greater than yourself.

But, regardless of what you believed, that was only the beginning.

Now you live among the Aesir, the gods of Norse mythology, who are embroiled in an epic struggle for the future of humanity. Ragnarok, the apocalypse ordained to destroy almost all of creation, is on the horizon and you have been recruited to become an elite foot soldier in the clandestine battle to stop it. As a Valherjar you are imbued with the magic of the gods and returned to the modern world, standing along side history's greatest warriors, engaging in a battle of subterfuge, political insurgency, and covert action, desperate to change fate in defiance of destiny.

The Good - I love the concept of warriors from all cultures chosen after their deaths to fend off Ragnarok. - Very elegant mechanic in which one roll determines speed and success. - Interesting grounding in Norse mythology to provide enemies, powers, [...]

I got this as part of the Haiti bundle and downloaded it mostly out of curiosity but this is some great work. A fresh approach both rule-wise and setting wise. You play slain warriors taken from Valhalla and sent on special missions to earth. The AoR [...]

Valherjar brings a fresh concept to the table: Undead PCs without angst. The Valherjar are men and women of all cultures who died in battle for a cause in which they completely believed. That was the beginning of their adventures. They then head to [...]
