For every solo player

Already playing a self-contained solo game where the rules generate your situations? These tools don’t replace that — they enrich it.

Your game tells you what happened. The Board Viking tools help you feel it. Start with Scene Weaver to set the stage, NPC Forge to bring your encounters to life, and Adventurer Journal to write it all up at the end.

In Play

A session in three minutes

Six tools. One story. Pin what matters as you play — then journal the whole session in one go.

Quest Forge Adventure Hook

The last letter arrived three days ago — a name you buried with someone who shouldn’t have been able to write it. The village of Ashenveil has one road in and the crows stopped circling it this morning. Whatever happened there is waiting for you.

📌 Pinned to session notes

Name Forge Grimdark · Character
  • Maren Ashveil — A name that belongs to someone who has outlived too many people who trusted her.
  • Drost — One name only. He stopped using the other one after what happened at the ford.
  • Signe Coldmere — She signs her letters with a different name every time. This one is real.

Scene Weaver Scene Setup

The road narrows between walls of black rock. The air smells of ash and something older — charred wood and copper. A crow watches from a cracked milestone ahead. The village gate is open. No one opens a gate in Mörk Borg without a reason.

The Oracle Yes / No

Is there anyone still alive in Ashenveil? NO — silence, cold hearth, door swinging, you’re not the first here

Adventurer Journal Session Log

The dead thing that was once the miller moved faster than dead things should. I broke its jaw with the iron rod and it kept coming. I didn’t stop until my arms gave out. Rook watched from the doorway. He didn’t help. He also didn’t run. That might mean something. I took the miller’s ring. I don’t know why yet.
