Hey yall Erica here,

I wanted to share the back cover, and the story behind it. Meet the All Father of RagnaBorg. When Matt and I discussed Odin I told him I wanted Odin to look my own father. The Sagas teach us that Odin only had one eye. My father lost his eye during his childhood.Sadly we lost my dad four years ago to cancer. This is my way of honoring him and making him apart of RagnaBorg. Matt did an excellent job capturing him, and I couldn’t be happier with what he created. 

Solstice Collection

This zine includes two adventures that take place before the events of Ragnarok. 

Gauntlet of the Gods 

Here are a couple spreads from Gauntlet of the Gods (trial level 0) adventure.
