Shield Maidens: A New Viking/Cyberpunk Tabletop RPG Gamemaster Guide

A brand new science-fiction roleplaying game, Shield Maidens is written by Alison Cybe to meld a cyberpunk world with Viking mythology. You will become one of the Shield Maidens, fighting the endless battle against Ragnarök and the end of the cosmos, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your sisters, to face the gods themselves. By merging technology and myth into a divinely-fuelled hardlight Guardian Shield, you will be the last hope of humanity. It is up to you and your sisters to decide the fate of the cosmos, and to turn the wheel of time yet again.

Shield Maidens is a 2D6 system, with the D8 Shield Dice used when you call upon the unwieldy power you hold as a daughter of Freya. There is no class system in Shield Maidens, and you are not limited by what skills you choose but rather who you truly are – the power of your Guardian Shield scales against your highest qualities, be they Observation, Understanding, Might, Speed, Resilience or Expression.
