Kobold Press is at it again, and this time they’re taking us north. Way north. Their latest crowdfunding campaign, Northlands, is already shaping up to be another massive success, bringing a mix of Viking-inspired adventure, sagas, and divine smackdowns to your tabletop.
What’s in the Northlands Kickstarter?
The project is split into two books:
The Northlands Worldbook – Think of this as your big campaign setting. It’s full of new monsters to fight, new magic items to chase, and player options that let you lean into the whole Viking theme.
The Northlands Sagas – This one’s a collection of 11 prewritten adventures, giving you everything from quick raids to apocalyptic showdowns.
The Worldbook comes in two flavours. One is designed for Dungeons & Dragons 2024, while the other is built for their very own 5e-inspired game, Tales of the Valiant. Smart move, since ToV has been picking up steam.
Pledge Tiers – What You Can Grab
As always, Kickstarter means options, and Northlands has plenty:
$29 – Worldbook PDF (choose either D&D 2024 or Tales of the Valiant)
$39 – All PDFs (both Worldbook + Sagas in your system of choice)
$59 – Hardcover + PDF (Worldbook, both formats)
$69 – Northlands on D&D Beyond (both books, digital only)
$99 – Complete Northlands Digital (all books in PDF + D&D Beyond)
$99 – Worldbook Limited Edition (hardcover with foil stamping + PDF)
$129 – Complete Bundle (hardcover + PDF copies of both books, plus Rune Card Deck + Sunstone Rune Tiles)
$169 – Limited Edition Complete Bundle (everything in the Complete Bundle plus that fancy foil hardcover)
So whether you’re a PDF-only kind of player, a collector who loves shiny books, or someone who wants all the toys, Kobold Press has got you covered.
Why Northlands Looks Awesome
Kobold Press has a bit of a reputation at this point: if they announce something, it’s probably going to be good. From Tome of Beasts to Deep Magic, their books consistently bring fresh options and high-quality design to the table. Northlands is shaping up to be another winner – especially if you’ve been craving that Norse mythology flavour in your campaigns.
Gods clashing, giants stomping, players swinging axes and casting runes? Sounds like a recipe for epic storytelling.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve ever wanted your D&D game to feel like a Viking saga – all icy winds, longships, and looming Ragnarök – Northlands looks like it’s delivering the goods. The campaign’s already storming toward success, and with options for both D&D 2024 and Tales of the Valiant, plus VTT and D&D Beyond support, it feels like Kobold Press has thought of everything.
Grab your furs, sharpen your axe, and maybe start practicing your battle cry. The Northlands are calling.
