[LFG] *VIKING* campaign run by a Norwegian! Conquer 9th century Scandinavia and build a kingdom (GMing for 15+ years)

VIKINGS A brutal, combat oriented campaign using modified Pathfinder rules for wounds and weapon/armor wear. Modified weapons list and capped at 8th level. Open world ; murder the ocal petty king and raid traders to establish a kingdom, I won't stop you. You don't need to know the system (Pathfinder homebrew), I'll take care of everything for you. Experienced GM . I've run countless campaigns on roll 20 and put a ton of work into my campaigns Authentic map of Scandinavia, with correct details from the start of the viking age. You'll see towns as they were at the time. Session Details: Time: Weekly, fridays at 7 pm GMT+1 (Norwegian time) System : Pathfinder Homebrew, resticted classes, custom rules for wounds instead of HP, DR instead of AC, item degradation, etc. You don't need to know any of the rules, we'll take care of it for you. Fun always takes priority over rules . It's highly unlikely that a viking survives enough battles to make above the level cap, which is 8. Beyond that point, you gain skills, feats, etc. The focus of the game will be to gain resources, plunder, and to expand your influence. Session style : Realistic. No magic, no supernatural powers. You're generally as weak or strong as everyone else. Setting You start out as peasants from a small village/town in the Kingdom of Vestfold, on the border to Sweden. Eventually, you may choose to raid neighboring kingdoms, rob traders, steal from farmers, or settle a village and begin trading; your destiny is entirely up to you. Either way, this is going to be a brutal, violent and realistic setting. Vestfold is under the rule of petty king Halvdan Øysteinsson, and you've been summoned from your village to bolster his forces. Your company of men could choose to defect (as soldiers often did), or rise through the ranks in hope of one day becoming king. I'm looking for up to 5 players.
Slots still open, guaranteed fun campaign :)
How long will each session last (roughly) I'd be very interested in playing but my time zone will be a bit wonky from mid-August.
Oh man, this looks awesome! But the time doesn't work for me. Looks like a lot of work you have done. Have fun!
I would be interrested i always been fond of the vikings era and there belief 
Thanks :D, and yes Thefall31, you are very welcome to join. Each session lasts roughly 2-4 hours. Still slots available.
I would love to play this! I'm from the UK :)
Ok, sounds great. I'd love to join in.
Who did I need to kill to secure my place?

No one needs to die! :D Sent messages to you. If you haven't received a PM with the discord link, let me know!
Slots are still available! PM me.
I would love to do this, as a player. I used to run a 2nd editon AD&D Vikings campaign, but since I live in Thailand it would be like 2 AM for me on a Saturday morning. But i see your enthusiasm, and energy for this, and as a fellow DM, wish you well.
Thanks for your awesome comment, Pardalis. Yes, I am hyped for this and think it will be very good, though recruitment for my Dark Heresy and D&D campaigns were far easier. I think it's mainly due to this running Pathfinder. I love D&D 5e and run it in any adventure campaign. However, when only viking age fighting will take place, the diversity in the fighter and barbarian classes in Pathfinder is just far, far superior.
Completely understandable. Also I think there was a good viking module for Runequest some years ago, maybe a decade. I recall it was very well written.
Hi! I'd love to play, the system sounds incredibly cool and our timezones are the same! If you'd like to talk further, message me here, or add me on discord (Jaime22#4326) Regards, Jaime
