Fate Of The Norns: Ragnarok [[http://www.fateofthenorns.com]] was released in 2013. It is the new version of the Fate of the Norns tabletop RPG, created by Andrew Valkauskas in 1993.
The game is set in Midgard, land of the vikings, during Ragnarok. The sun and moon have been devoured by celestial wolves, an eternal winter called Fimbulvinter has set in, and Viking families tear each other apart, while the great armies of the Aesir gods (Odin, Thor, ...) and the Jotuns (Surt, Bergelmir,...) gather for the final confrontation, where the world will most likely be bathed in fire and cease to exist. Oh, and crusaders from the south are invading, bringing the faith of a new White God to the masses, by force if necessary.
'''Gameplay:'''
FOTN:R uses the Runic Game System: no dice are needed to play this game, but a set of viking runes, representing the player character's experience and destiny. A small subset of runes is drawn during each combat round, and the player can use them to perform various actions (each rune is bound to a specific power), and greatly change the output of said power via meta tags (e.g: double damage, multi attack, greater range, etc.).
The player character (called "Dweller") can choose between 5 character classes, each one having 3 possible specializations. A grid system is then used to choose every action and power the Dweller can perform, so that lots of customized builds are possible.
Death is not the end of a player character in FOTN:R: with the proper burying rituals and a bit of luck, a deceased PC can be raised in the Heavens to become an immortal warrior of the Gods or the Giants, gain new immortal powers, and go on more adventures if the GM wants him to. Having a character ascend in the heavens will also unlock new customization options for new characters.

!!Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnotherDimension: each world of Yggdrasil is its own separate dimension.
* AntiMagic: two identical runes played too close to each other cancel their effects.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: pretty much everyone, especially members of the great dynasties.
* BadassFamily: most of the Viking clans
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: sure, you can ask a God or Jotun to help you in your fight. But beware if your plea angers them...
* BlindedByTheLight: The Immortal's Brillance power makes the caster appear almost as brilliant as the sun, with this result for opponents. Some Immortal characters can also summon pillars of fire from the sky, with predictable results.
* BloodKnight: warriors who wants to go to the Heavens have to die gloriously in battle, so this trope applies a lot in the setting.
* BodyHorror: The Rend Flesh spell creates "small, deformed mouths on the surface of the victim's skin. The teeth begin to devour the flesh and insides".
* CharacterLevel: characters earn whole levels, not experience points. One level allow a character to select a new rune (and new powers), while two levels allow him to draw more runes during combat.
* CivilWar: lots broke out among formerly united Viking kingdoms once Fimbulvinter set in.
* CoolBoat: Naglfar, the Ship of the Apocalypse, 5 miles long and made out of the toenails of the dead.
* CrapsackWorld: Midgard: The Sun and Moon have disappeared, no crops will ever grow, people kill each other for no reason, Most of the landmasses are uninhabitable due to the cold, and angry monsters/gods/giants/immortal warriors are on the loose.
* DeusExMachina: possible but risky, see BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor above.
* DivineParentage: some of the biggest dynastic families (Yngling, Volsung) come from the union of a mortal woman and an Asgardian God.
* FantasyCharacterClasses:
** '''Fighter:''' the Ulfhednar archetype, from classic viking warrior to berserker to giant blood-drinking werewolf
** '''Mage:''' the Seithkona archetype, sorceress with access to summons and spirit-based powers. Can rip your soul from your body in no time. The Galdr archetype, master of the runes, for a more elemental (ice/fire) magic, auras and explosions.
** '''Rogue/Dancer:''' the Maiden of Ratatosk archetype, ranging from a girl of mischief who loves to insult her foes to confuse them, to a double bladed whirlwind of death and bloodshed
** '''Bard:''' the Skald archetype, closer to a Mage-type character, but primarily uses songs to create the same effects.
* FiveRaces: Dwarves (Dvergar), Elves, both Light and Dark (Ljos Alfar and Svart Alfar), Humans, Giants (of frost or fire), and Gods.
* GreyAndGreyMorality: even if the setting (and Marvel) can lead one to think "Asgardian Gods = good, Frost Giants = bad", the core rulebook goes to great lengths to describe the dark side of some of the Asgardians, and how honorable some of the Giants can be.
* HalfHumanHybrid: characters with the Troll-Blood perk.
* HolierThanThou: standard behaviour of the White God Crusaders: convert, or die by the sword.
* HornyVikings: what the game is all about. Well, that and the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
* LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: surprisingly averted. Even at higher levels, with the right build and the right use of meta tags, a warrior can dish out even more damage than a caster.
* KillItWithFire: Lots of spells can do this to your enemies. Fire Jotuns also tend to do that to people. To top it off, Surt will do that to the ''entire world''.
* KillItWithIce: Lots of spells and auras. And pissed off Rime Jotuns.
* KnightTemplar: The Crusaders of the White God.
* KrakenAndLeviathan: The Polar Kraken is one of the most fearsome foes in the setting.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: the Dvergar: small? Check. Affinity for gold and other riches? Check. Fantastic blacksmiths? Check. Hold grudges for a very long time? Check.
* PrestigeClass: the Fylgia, Troll-Blood, Infamy and Immortal Warrior aspects, unlocked for future characters when enough of your characters die.
* MusicalAssassin: the Skald (bard) class can devour your thoughts by singing.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Erik [=BloodAxe=], King of Norveig.
* NewGamePlus: sort of. If your character dies and goes to the afterlife to become an immortal warrior, you might get to play him/her again, with added superpowers.
* SecondHourSuperpower: The Ulfhednar, who can turn into a enraged, horse sized, blood-drinking wolf pretty much from the get go
* SetTheWorldOnFire: Surt during the final battle of Ragnarök.
* SignsOfTheEndTimes: among others, the onset of Perpetual Winter, the celestial wolves eating the sun and the moon.
* SuperToughness: Game mechanics allow Immortal Warriors to, among other things, stand in fire without suffering any consequences.
* TakingOverTheWorld: the basic plan of the White God Crusaders
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: the game takes place during Ragnarök.
* TheNightThatNeverEnds: Fimbulvinter: both the Sun and the Moon have been devoured by giant wolves, stars are falling out of the sky, and no one will ever see the light of the day again.
* UltimateBlacksmith: basically every member of the Dvergar race, particularly Brokk and his brother.
* WorldTree: The nine worlds hang on the branches and roots of Yggdrasil, the cosmic Ash tree.
The game is set in Midgard, land of the vikings, during Ragnarok. The sun and moon have been devoured by celestial wolves, an eternal winter called Fimbulvinter has set in, and Viking families tear each other apart, while the great armies of the Aesir gods (Odin, Thor, ...) and the Jotuns (Surt, Bergelmir,...) gather for the final confrontation, where the world will most likely be bathed in fire and cease to exist. Oh, and crusaders from the south are invading, bringing the faith of a new White God to the masses, by force if necessary.
'''Gameplay:'''
FOTN:R uses the Runic Game System: no dice are needed to play this game, but a set of viking runes, representing the player character's experience and destiny. A small subset of runes is drawn during each combat round, and the player can use them to perform various actions (each rune is bound to a specific power), and greatly change the output of said power via meta tags (e.g: double damage, multi attack, greater range, etc.).
The player character (called "Dweller") can choose between 5 character classes, each one having 3 possible specializations. A grid system is then used to choose every action and power the Dweller can perform, so that lots of customized builds are possible.
Death is not the end of a player character in FOTN:R: with the proper burying rituals and a bit of luck, a deceased PC can be raised in the Heavens to become an immortal warrior of the Gods or the Giants, gain new immortal powers, and go on more adventures if the GM wants him to. Having a character ascend in the heavens will also unlock new customization options for new characters.

!!Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnotherDimension: each world of Yggdrasil is its own separate dimension.
* AntiMagic: two identical runes played too close to each other cancel their effects.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: pretty much everyone, especially members of the great dynasties.
* BadassFamily: most of the Viking clans
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: sure, you can ask a God or Jotun to help you in your fight. But beware if your plea angers them...
* BlindedByTheLight: The Immortal's Brillance power makes the caster appear almost as brilliant as the sun, with this result for opponents. Some Immortal characters can also summon pillars of fire from the sky, with predictable results.
