Dragonbane and Trudvang will be together again, thanks to Free League’s upcoming Kickstarter for Dragonbane: Trudvang.
Free League publishing announced a return of a classic setting to the award-winning new Dragonbane RPG, Dragonbane: Trudvang. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Trudvang began as a campaign setting for Drakar Och Demoner, or as you might know it, Dragonbane. But the world full of shadowed woods and fathomless mists and trolls and other creatures besides took on a life of its own.
You might have played the Trudvang Chronicles RPG, or even the board game from CMON. But now, the campaign setting comes back to where it all began, sort of. And soon you’ll be able to see what that means for the world of Trudvang.
Dragonbane: Trudvang
Free League announced that it had licensed Trudvang from CMON, a move that comes not long after CMON halted development on many projects amid ongoing tariff turmoil earlier this year. That was back in April, even if it feels like it’s been two years since then, it’s actually only been six months that the game industry has been in turmoil and we’re doubtless still unpacking the affects. However, Dragonbane: Trudvang is a bright spot as a result.
Free League will be bringing the world of Trudvang back into the Dragonbane fold via a Kickstarter coming in early 2026. And they are going all out for the upcoming campaign, bringing back the original artwork from the last two decades, but you’ll get to see new cover art and a new world map at least.
And the game itself will be rewritten to be adapted to the newest version of Dragonbane. Spearheading the project is Magnus Seter, whose work you might know from Cyberpunk 2020, Mutant Chronicles, the Forbidden Lands, Dragonbane—and even work on Trudvang in the early days. All of which adds up to a promising return for Dragonbane: Trudvang.
“Trudvang is a world of shadowed woods and fathomless mists, of dreadful beasts and unsung heroes, of wrathful gods and endless mystery – deeply original but with strong roots in Nordic mythology.
Dragonbane: Trudvang, produced by Free League under license from CMON, is coming to Kickstarter in early 2026. The campaign will offer no less than four masterfully illustrated hardback volumes in Swedish and in English.”

The campaign itself will see four books through to publishing. You’ll get the World Book, a deep dive into Trudvang’s history, peoples, and regions. A Book of Heroes that serves as the player’s guide, with new Trudvang specific professions, heroic abilities, and magic. Jorgi’s Bestiary is a manual full of Trudvang monsters, including the braskelwurm, draugr, hrimtursir, and yggdras, all adapted for Dragonbane‘s rules. And The Black Sun—a four-part epic campaign that captures Trudvang’s spirit.
All of this, coming to Kickstarter in 2026. So get ready.
