I'm proud to announce I'm one of the people responisble for creating Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game.

Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game is set in the challenging world of the Vikings. This tabletop gameis a unique combination of fantasy and science-fiction genres.

The game is going to be funded with the help of fans in June 2023, via Gamefound crowdfunding platform. As for now, there is a campaign draft available, which will be updated with new information (link https://gamefound.com/projects/dark-rabbit/thorgalrpg). Follow us if you're interested in the project!

The game is planned to be released in Q1 2024.

The game will be available in Polish, English and French.

The game is based on a famous graphic novel series Thorgal, created by a Belgian writer Jean Van Hamme and a Polish comic book artist Grzegorz Rosiński.

The Player Characters are People of the Stars — the descendants of the ancient Atlanteans, who came to Earth from a distant planet, just like Thorgal's parents before them. They wield supernatural powers and are capable of performing truly astonishing feats, but at the same time they try to keep together and build a home they could all share.

Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game core rulebook is specifically designed to include everything you need to play: the rules, the setting description and the bestiary. The game uses its own, original, well-tested, d20-based mechanics.


WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
First roleplaying game set in the universe of Thorgal graphic novels!
D20-based mechanics, including resources that give you full control over the game!
Settlement development mechanics. Create your own safe haven to rest in between expeditions!
Unique world for all fantasy and sci-fi fans, especially if you love the Vikings!

Thorgal — limited cover version📗
Each of our crowdfunding campaigns offers something for tabletop roleplaying game collectors, and this time it won't be any different!
➡ During the Gamefound campaign, Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game core rulebook will be available in 2 cover versions: a standard one, with art by Fred Vignaux, and a limited one, with art by the unmatched Grzegorz Rosiński. 
➡ The rulebook with the limited cover will be available only during the campaign. It will not be available later for retail sale.
➡ Once the campaign starts, there will be a variety of stretch goals to unlock (but we are not revealing them just yet 😉 ). Some of them will physically expand the core rulebook content (in both standard and limited cover versions), so back us during the campaign to get them in print! 
➡ And what after the campaign? As we have already mentioned, the limited cover version will not be available — but you will still be able to get the standard one! The only difference will be the content, as the retail copies will not include the unlocked stretch goals.

Hello there!

English and French versions of Thorgal RPG Starter are underway, but in the meantime - have a look at the preview of the Polish version.

CAMPAIGN STARTING DATE REVEALED!
Ladies and gentlemen, attention please!
ℹ
We have the pleasure to announce that Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game crowdfunding campaign is going to be launched on June 16, 2023 — of course via Gamefound platform. See the link to the campaign draft https://gamefound.com/projects/dark-rabbit/thorgalrpg
ℹ
More details will be shared soon, so stay tuned!

Thorgal – Downtime mechanics
ℹ One of Thorgal's key motivations is his family: wife Aaricia, son Jolan and daughter Louve. No matter how many times cruel gods thwart his plans, forcing him to wander across foreign lands, the desire to come back home — wherever that would be — and be reunited with his loved ones gives him the strength to fight against his destiny.
ℹ In Thorgal: The Roleplaying Game, we provide you with mechanics allowing you to create your own 'home.' It could be a village, a keep, a ship, or any other place where you live among your own people, building a community together. What is more, one of those people could become your Soulmate, that is someone with whom your character can forge a special bond. For the purposes of this description, we are going to use the general term 'settlement.' This stage in the game, called Downtime, immediately follows your party's return from an expedition.
ℹ Each settlement is described with the use of the following 4 stats, or numerical values: Defense, Prosperity, Fortitude and Stability, corresponding to different aspects of the residents' life and their struggle for survival. The stats can be increased by spending treasures, received as prizes for successfully completed tasks. Treasures are an abstract measure of wealth and their amount depends on actions and decisions taken in the course of an expedition.
ℹ Upon returning to the settlement, we check what has happened to it during our absence - it can be nothing, and it can happen that it will be a target of an attack. The aforementioned stats are used to perform checks determining whether the settlement has successfully stood against the odds. If it's a failure, the Stability is decreased by 1 (the starting value of 5). When it reaches 0, something bad happens to the settlement. If the check is a success, the Stability is increased by 1, to the max value of 10 (when the settlement reaches the level of prosperity).
ℹ As has been already mentioned before, you can either use the collected treasures to develop your settlement or – following the example of Kriss de Valnor – invest in yourself, for example by way of improving your equipment. The same applies to Experience Points. You can spend them to increase either your skills or the level of Bond with your Soulmate (provided that you have one). The higher the Bond level, the greater your character's determination to return home safely and be reunited with his or her Soulmate – which is also reflected by the game mechanics and special bonuses the character is given.
