Svilland : Lost Lands of Orfhal and Nordic Adventure | 5E+

Before Test Document Part 2
29 days ago – Tue, Mar 03, 2026 at 09:40:27 AM

Greetings, Orfhalars!

It has been over a month since our latest update, and we wanted to reach out to share details on the project’s progress.

The first test document is quite extensive, and it may take some time to review thoroughly. We have not yet received enough feedback to begin revisions, so we have decided to wait a bit longer. We plan to share the second part next week. In the meantime, please share your thoughts using this form. Your feedback is very important to us.

The second part will consist of monsters and NPCs. In addition, we are working on a short, beginner-friendly adventure for those who wish to experience Svilland for the first time. Once we receive sufficient feedback on both parts, we plan to share this adventure before releasing the main one.

The Artwork

We are collaborating with many artists to illustrate almost everything in the book. We have incorporated a variety of art styles, so there is something for everyone’s taste. Here is a sneak peek at the artwork:

Thank you again for your support, and see you all in the next update!

Orfhal Progress, What Awaits
5 months ago – Tue, Oct 21, 2025 at 12:42:52 PM

We salute you, Orfhalars!

Before diving into project details, we must begin by blaming our game designers for their excessive enthusiasm for this project. They couldn’t resist adding more content and mechanics - over 15 new pages of systems for characters to endure, and even more for surviving them! Despite our warnings, they insisted on expanding Black Winter content, creating new skiing rules, additional weapon mechanics, and unique features for each tribe.

    Thanks to their passion (and our endless patience), we’ve finally gathered everything into one content-packed book. Many thanks to our Orfhal team! We love them dearly… and we’ll get our revenge someday.

Project status:

In early December, we’ll release a test document for the Orfhal Setting Book and the opening chapters of the Adventure Book. As our testers shower us with feedback, we’ll finalize the adventure. We aim to finish both books by early January.

    Once complete, the layout phase will begin, taking approximately two to three weeks per book (we’ll try to keep it to two). After that comes printing, transferring the goods to our warehouse, and shipping. During this process, we’ll also be revising most Svilland content to align with the D&D 2024 rules.

    It’s too early to give exact final dates, as we may include VTT conversions and extra materials like character sheets and print-friendly handouts. However, our goal is to finish everything, including delivery, before April.

    For any questions or issues, you can reach us at [email protected]. We check our inbox daily and will get back to you as soon as possible.

 News from DRS

Aside from the projects we have inherited from the former DRS, we are currently working on several smaller projects and one major release.

    We understand that some of you may have concerns about our timeline and wonder why we are working on new projects while a few others are still in fulfillment. However, please rest assured that many of our processes operate in parallel. Certain stages such as illustration, editing, layout, printing, and logistics are handled independently of the game design team.

    While those processes continue, our designers focus on new creations to ensure the pipeline never gets stuck in bottlenecks. Everything is moving forward as planned.

 Essentials II: Masterminds of Crime

The crowdfunding campaign for the second book of the Essentials series has begun.

    Masterminds of Crime introduces twelve new subclasses, one for each class, each delving into a distinct facet of the criminal underworld.

·         Extended Thieves’ Tools adds new layers of depth, creativity, and danger for players and GMs eager to enhance their heists.

·         Extended Thieves’ Cant expands the secret language of thieves with new symbols, gestures, slang, and regional dialects.

·         Black Market transforms the criminal underworld into a fully interactive trade system, featuring detailed rules for illicit goods and services.

·         You will also find new poisoncrafting rules, including how to brew, handle, and use toxins effectively.

    And much more awaits those daring enough to step into the shadows.

Holiday Hoards: Winter Pack

On October 28, we will reveal our next item deck project: Holiday Hoards: Winter Pack.

    This collection will initially feature three decks - the Gold Deck, Fellowship Deck, and Fame Deck - each containing 50 item cards freshly forged by DRS.

    Each deck comes with its own stretch counter:

·         The Gold Deck expands with total funding.

·         The Fellowship Deck grows with the number of backers.

·         The Fame Deck increases through social media interactions.

    Each deck may reach up to 100 cards, bringing the grand total to 300 items.

    Design is already underway, and we aim to fulfill all products before the New Year. Printing will begin the day after the campaign concludes, finishing within a week, with shipments following immediately after.

Bloodpunk Adventure: Night Before the White Wake

This December, Kanrath descends into chaos.

    Our next short adventure, Night Before the White Wake, launches on Kickstarter in mid-December. It tells the story of a group caught between the city’s violent gangs, all on edge during the final night before winter’s eve. The sinister calm of Kanrath will soon give way to hysteria and madness.

    With this project, we will also release the new and revamped Bloodpunk VTT, available for both new and returning backers. Returning backers who already own the Bloodpunk VTT from previous projects will receive the updated version for free as soon as it is ready (very soon).

April 14, 2026 - A Major Project Awaits

Mark your calendars. A major DRS project is on the horizon, its name yet to be revealed.
