Draug (role-playing game) based on Norway

Draug (named after a type of fictional Scandinavian undead), is set in a semi-historically accurate Norway of 1801 that features supernatural creatures from Norwegian fairy tales. The game, which uses the FUDGE game system, is designed for 1–5 players and a gamemaster.
