New Gamemaster Month is underway for 2026: still not too late to take part!

It's week two of New Gamemaster Month, and if you’re just jumping in, don’t fret—it’s not too late. You have a bit of catching up to do, but nothing you can’t handle. This is the annual month-long seminar in the form of twice-weekly posts, organised by our friends at Monte Cook Games to guide prospective GMs up to and through their first game.

Chaosium's Mike Curry, author of the free introductory Age of Vikings scenario The Cursed Farm, has written the special Chaosium content for New Gamemaster Month. If you take part you'll get inspiration, advice, and a step-by-step process to guide you to and through GMing your first Age of Vikings session.

The most recent New Gamemaster Month post is here, but you can start at the beginning here.
