KVAD Sells Out Its First Printing, and Prepares for the World Market

Barely two years after launch, the roleplaying game Kvad is out of stock in Game Forlag's warehouse. Over 300 books were printed at Bokbinderiet Johnsen, sold to private customers all over the world and through various retailers in both Norway and Sweden.

Second Printing

The publisher is now considering a new second printing in softcover. But the black book is special, and it is not coming back. You can still secure the first edition at Outland. It is also still possible to get accessories like dice and maps through the publisher's own web shop (while supplies last).

English Translation

Game Forlag has been working on the English translation for about a year, and is nearly finished. In late summer 2023 they plan to visit conventions in both Germany and England to market the game. When they return from the Viking raid, preparations will begin for a new Kickstarter campaign where international roleplaying enthusiasts can pre-order books.

This is going to be incredibly exciting, and I am really looking forward to seeing the response to a Norwegian-made Viking roleplaying game out there in the world.

A big thank you to Game Forlag, and everyone else who has been part of the journey so far.

To be continued!
