Dearest Reader...
When we launched the Kickstarter campaign for Spectacular Settlements in the summer of 2018,
we had no idea what would happen. We were fairly confident it would fund but, beyond that, it was
anybody’s guess. We certainly had no idea it would reach the heights that it did, and it was only the
first in a string of successes that have allowed Nord Games to make the leaps it was able to make in
2018 and 2019.
For all this and more, our deepest gratitude goes out to everyone in our community who contributed
to making this a reality. We have all learned so much throughout this process and, through it all, you
remained steadfast, patient, kind and encouraging. That you care enough about our work to contribute
in such meaningful ways is at once a blessing and incredibly humbling. The simple fact is that, without
you, there would be no Nord Games. With any success we enjoy, we hope that you feel at least some
small measure of pride as well.
Spectacular Settlements has been, at its very core, a labor of love. Like most of the settlements that
will come from these pages, this book was not built in a day. The words, pictures, and ideas you’re
about to see are the results of hundreds of hours of combined talent, effort and hard work. This
effort was not about making a product. It was to make something we all need, something we can
always use a little more of: inspiration.
Lastly, and most importantly, we need to say thank you to our loving families. Our spouses, partners,
and children who dealt with parents who were busier than was sometimes convenient, and extended
families who were always there when we needed them. We couldn’t do what we do without your love,
patience, and encouragement. There is no end to the love and gratitude we hold in our hearts for you.
With the words written above and what I am about to write, I speak for every member of the
Nord Games team:
You are all why this book exists. This book is dedicated to each and every one of you and we hope
most deeply that it sets your imaginations alight and inspires you to no end.
Andrew Geertsen
With Utmost Sincerity,
Director of Game Design
