You can rely on your wits and become a world travelling trader. Lend your arms and make your living as a mercenary. Or set forward to raid and settle new lands.

In Norse mythology, Midgard is the world of men. Of the nine worlds, Midgard separates the world of the gods from the world of the giants and the darker worlds. And since a world cannot truly be a world without inhabitants, Odin and his brothers created man.

Our Midgard is what would be considered fictional history or mythical past. Meaning that while the origin of the setting was real, we added some steps from Norse Mythology to make it a bit more epic.

The Midgard setting takes place in the Viking era, between 750 and 1050 Common Era. Norse settlements are in an Iron age technology but were influenced by more technologically advanced civilizations.

Depending on how big the GM wants the world to be, you can travel to many places. The Vikings had dealings with the Franks, through the descendants of Charlemagne, raided the English Isles, had contact with the Byzantine Empire in Miklagard (Constantinople), met with Chinese and Persian traders in Rus Kiel and Novgorod, and travelled as far as Vinland (North America).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
