KVAD (English)

Created by Game Publishing (Game Forlag)

A Viking roleplaying game where ordinary people become heroes by spending their age to change fate, and every tale ends with a poem honoring their deeds.

Meet us at Essen Spiel!
13 days ago – Wed, Oct 21, 2026 at 02:03:23 AM

Hello, Shield Wall! 

If you are attending Essen Spiel this year, we'd love to see you at booth D4215. Give KVAD a try on site!

We are sharing a booth with Go To Pieces Games, and it's a perfect match. They have a Viking-inspired board game, and we have a Viking-inspired roleplaying game

You can also try three new mini-games we've created while waiting for the printing house to finish their work on KVAD. You can check out these games and more here:

We hope to see you in Essen, and we'd like to thank you once again for your continued support and for backing our campaign. It really means a lot to us!

Best regards, The KVAD Team

Status update for the Viking Longship
24 days ago – Sat, Oct 10, 2026 at 06:25:44 AM

The Viking longship is moving forward, but slowly!

We hope you've been enjoying the digital files in the meantime. As the project has been delayed due to an overbooked printing house, we would like to offer a FREE SOFTCOVER BOOK to everyone who wants one (excluding digital-only backers). Simply email us at [email protected] with your shipping address.

At long last, the printing house has started production! Sadly, the products will not be ready until December, after which shipping will begin.

We are not entirely sure why it has taken the printing house so long to begin production, but we sincerely apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience.

That said, we are confident that the final product will be awesome!

Thank you again for your support!

Best, the KVAD team, Hans Olav, Christoffer, Thomas, Karl Otto. 

Digital files ready for shipment!

Shield wall!

Sorry for the late update; the seas have been rough. 

At last, we're finally done with the digital files. The game is now fully playable with these files!

We've received the prototype of the dice, and we think they look beautiful!



Unfortunately, the physical products are taking longer than expected. This is partly because the digital files were delayed due to a shoulder injury, partly because of some delays on the manufacturer's side, and partly because we needed to resolve a copyright issue.

The digital files will be sent out once the payment period has closed, in 48 hours. If you wanna add a late pledge, now is your time! 

Row, Row, Row
Best, Kvad team

Dice in production, pdf in final stages
6 months ago – Tue, Apr 28, 2026 at 11:57:57 PM

Hi everyone!

As you know, our editor’s broken shoulder caused a slight delay in the project. Thankfully, things are moving forward again. The dice are now in production, and we are currently waiting in line for the hardcover book to be printed. The PDF is in its final stages of editing!

However, some of you have not yet completed your survey. If you haven’t filled it out, you may miss the opportunity to have your name included in the book — and we would really love to thank you properly for your support.

At the moment, we are still missing about 10% of responses.

Best regards,
The KVAD Team
Christoffer, Hans Olav, Karl Otto, and Thomas

Survey and project updates!
7 months ago – Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 05:18:46 AM

Hi members of the shield wall!

Remember to answer the survey – your input helps steer the longship in the right direction.

Also, check your skis before heading downhill... Our editor tried to go full Viking on skis and ended up with a broken shoulder… which has slowed the ship down a bit!

Remember that you can add-on to your pledge still if you want to!
