Helheim Unbound: Core Rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.99

Helheim Unbound is a roleplaying game designed with quick resolutions and narrative play in mind.  We have created a framework that translates a player's vision for a character into a playable champion. The end result is a system that allows a group to play in a matter of minutes, with minimal complexities to tie down the narrative.

Helheim Unbound can be used as a generic system for practically any setting, but included is an example setting at the dawn of the Viking Age. Whether players embark on daring raids with the Vikings or enlist with King Charles on his crusade to spread the boundaries of Christendom, there is a world filled with conflict and adventure.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

  • Introduction: The Basics.  A little bit of background, what you need to play, and player roles.

  • Chapter 1: Rules.  The Rules chapter covers everything from dice mechanics, how actions work, how your champion is developed, wealth, and a quick guide to magic.

  • Chapter 2: Champion Creation.  All about how you create your champion, including their desires, skills, benefits and hindrances, starting resources, and how to measure success when the champion dies or retires.
  • Chapter 3: The Gamemaster.  Tips and tricks for Gamemasters, including when to test and setting test difficulties, how to create creatures, and guidance on managing a rules-lite system like Helheim Unbound.

  • Chapter 4: Examples.  Norse / Dark Age themed examples to help inspire players, including all aspects of champion creation, ideas for encounters, and sample creatures for the champions to face.  We also have included some examples for other settings as well!

  • Chapter 5: Magic.  Magic was the number one area our playtesters wanted more information on, so we dedicated a chapter to it!  We include a framework for creating your own magic system, as well as two complete magic systems:  One based on the 18 Runes from the Havamal and 18 Miracles from the Bible.

WHAT DO YOU GET?

  • Core Rulebook (All the rules you need to play your games)
  • Player Rules Summary Sheet (A One Page Rules Summary)
  • 3 Different Champion Sheets (Printer Friendly, Form-Fillable, and Standard)
  • 2 Different Quick Play Scenarios (The Shield Wall and The Scout)  
    • Both contain everything players and the GM need for a quick introduction to the ruleset.  All you need are pens or pencils and some dice!)

Send your players over to the Player's Guide (free PDF option), which contains the Intro, and Chapters 1 and 2 - everything they need as players to create their champions and play games using Helheim Unbound.

There was in the past. With the changes in printing a while back, we discontinued the hard copy version for the time being.

Glad there are some people who like and follow this game system I won't be one of them, the game mechanics seem to be that of poorly thought out Magic The Gathering Cards without the great art or substance. I am going to research it further but this doesn't look like something I will be playing.

As we prepare the final proofing of the PDF, we'd appreciate any feedback on things we missed, typos, and other such things. As a reminder, for those who purchase the PDF, we'll send out a discount code once the hardcover is live that will give $5 off. We're committed to offering all print editions with the PDF at the same price, so that's the best way we can do that!

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.
