The Northern Sagas is a 6-part Viking RPG series built for busy parents and creative kids — no gaming experience required.
Viking-era adventures rooted in Nordic myth, family legacy, and the thrill of the unknown. Six interconnected adventures, one growing saga.
A fog-shrouded forest where the boundary between the living and the dead grows thin. Face the Draugr, decode the Futhark runes, and decide the fate of a village.
Icy waters, towering icebergs, and a ship trapped between worlds. Navigate the unknown, battle the elements, and discover what lies beyond the edge of the map.
"Every adventure is a door. Walk through enough of them, and your family writes its own saga."
A shared character journal that carries across all 6 adventures. Your family's Viking lineage grows with every game night — skills, allies, and scars included.
A narrative mechanic where the Storyteller (parent) awards Tale Tokens for bold choices, creative problem-solving, and teamwork — spent to alter fate or reveal secrets.
Each adventure plays in 45–75 minutes. Play one tonight and stop there — or play all six and watch your family's choices echo across the entire saga.
Character creation in 2 minutes. Rules that fit on one page. A storyteller guide that walks you through every scene. Play your first adventure tonight.
You've never run a tabletop RPG. Neither have your kids. That's fine — WildTales was built for families exactly like yours.
One person is the storyteller (you — no prep required). Everyone else plays a Viking on the adventure. No screens, no app. Just the story, some dice, and your family's imagination.
Gather around the table. One adventure takes 45–75 minutes. You read story prompts aloud, the family makes choices, rolls dice, and shapes the outcome together. Your kids decide what happens — you're just narrating the world.
🕔 6 Full-Length Adventure Sagas — Ready to read and play. ✔️ The Printable Family Ledger — A shared journal tracking your lineage. 🧨 Print-and-Cut Tokens & Maps — No expensive miniatures required. 🪨 Quick-Start Reference Guides — Clear rules for standard 6-sided dice.
Each adventure is self-contained — play Adventure 1 tonight, no strings attached. Buy the series and watch your family's saga grow across six voyages. Choices you make in the first adventure carry forward through the whole story arc.
Families with kids ages 10–16. No gaming experience needed. Works great as a weekly family night, a rainy afternoon adventure, or your kid's new favorite hobby. If you can read a story aloud, you can run this.

"The best stories are the ones you make up with your kids."
The founding principle behind every WildTales adventure. Not a sales pitch. A promise.
Kids are full participants, not passengers. They make choices, drive the story, and feel the stakes.
Hunting a boar on a real camping trip becomes hunting a wild boar in the goblin woods. Authenticity you can feel. (Perfect for the dining room table or adapting to your next family camping trip!)
30 minutes to an hour. No commitment required. Play once or build an ongoing story arc — the adventures work either way.
Six adventures. Six chances to become the heroes your kids will remember when they're grown. Start with The Whispering Wake — or grab the full series and play them all.
