Bodil's Gap Quickstart Playbooks

Forge your own saga in a land of myth and magic

Bodil's Gap is a fantasy campaign setting for Dungeon World, inspired by Norse myth and folklore, and by the people of viking-age Scandinavia. Unlike traditional fantasy settings, Bodil’s Gap takes a folkloric, fairy tale tone that emulates the style of ancient sagas. It focuses on the adventures of the men and women living in a harsh and rugged land, bound by honour and craving glory, and confronted with vast supernatural forces that run a constant undercurrent through their daily lives.

This bundle includes quickstart versions of the seven custom playbooks designed for the setting. These are abbreviated playbooks that offer a taste of the full versions in the Bodil's Gap book—each quickstart playbook is about half as long as the full version, and doesn't include any moves that deal with new mechanics introduced in the Bodil's Gap setting book.

The seven quickstart playbooks included are:

• The Dýrsark: A ferocious berserker who finds strength through their animalistic battle frenzy and the favour of the valkyries.
• The Goði: A priest of the gods and goddesses of Bodil's Gap, who makes sacrifice and draws on the influence of their divine patrons to wield a variety of powers.
• The Hersir: A captain among warriors, whose skills focus as much on leading and commanding their allies as on laying low their foes.
• The Óttimaðr: A sorcerer who draws their elemental magic and physical strength from a connection to the otherworldy realms of the giants.
• The Rúngaeti: A scholar of runic secrets able to work a variety of magics by speaking or engraving those runes they have mastered.
• The Seiðkona: A seer who bargains with spirits for the power to endow people, places, or objects with lingering curses or enchantments.
• The Skald: A bard and storyteller whose verse echoes with magical power and whose guile and cunning confound their foes.
