The North Watches Back | A Year in Gods of the Forbidden North
I’ve spent the last year running one of the largest old-school RPG campaigns ever published: Gods of the Forbidden North by Rob Alderman and Pulp Hummock Press. In this video, I begin a full campaign retrospective and review series covering my experiences running this massive sandbox campaign setting using the *Rules Cyclopedia*, *ACKS II*, and other old-school RPG supplements. This is not just a review. This is a long-term Dungeon Master breakdown of what actually happens when real players enter the frozen wilderness of Tithirion, explore Valkengard, survive deadly hex crawls, uncover ancient lore, and descend into the darkness beneath the Forbidden North. Gods of the Forbidden North is a brutal, lore-heavy, atmospheric campaign setting inspired by classic fantasy adventure, sword & sorcery, cosmic horror, and old-school tabletop roleplaying design. Subscribe if you’d like to follow the full campaign as we continue exploring Valkengard, Castle Thar-Gannon, the Underworld, and the deadly secrets hidden beneath the ice and ruins of the North.
