I take on the first volume of the Gods of the Forbidden North mega-adventure. The tale is the first of a proposed three volumes and is designed for use with Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy but you can certainly utilized nearly any OSR retroclone and even some NuSR roleplaying games with relative ease. This adventure is also aimed at six to eight player characters beginning at 1st level.
The Kickstarter to bring the second volume to the public has fully funded and runs through March 28th, 2024

Have just backed the kickstarter for volume 2 (and volume 1) on the back of this review, even though it’ll be years before I get to run it (Traveller’s Pirates of Drinax and CoC’s Masks of Nyarlathotep to get through first, and I’m not the only GM in my group).
