Valkyrie

Valkyrie GM for Fantasy Flight Board Games

Includes editor for user built scenarios/quests. See this video for a short introduction.

(https://github.com/NPBruce/valkyrie/releases/latest)

Requires the install of the FGG app related to the boardgame you want to play:

Windows

Demonstration Video

Run the installer and install to desired location, then start Valkyrie.

The import might take a minute, so don't be too hasty. If import does not complete or is not working, please check out the Troubleshooting section.

Mac OS

Mac OS Gatekeeper must be disabled:

  1. In the Finder, locate the app you want to open. Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.
  2. Press the Control key and click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
  3. Click Open.

The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.

If importing does not complete, please attempt to run Valkyrie at elevated privileges.

Also make sure, you have folder permissions. Move your Valkyrie download to the folder Applications inside the Finder app. Then run chmod +x /Applications/Valkyrie.app/Contents/MacOS/Valkyrie in the Terminal app.

Linux

For Linux there is no automatic import either:

  1. Copy content/<type>/ffg from another imported installation or
  2. Run with -import <location> where <location> is Road to Legend or Mansions of Madness data. For example /home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Descent Road to Legend for Road to Legend.

Android

If you already have a version of Valkyrie installed, please uninstall it first.

  1. Install the official app using the Google Play Store:

  2. Start the official app and wait until the loading is complete (the wait cursor inside the main menu is gone). Enable "Unknown Sources" under Settings → Security → Unknown Sources. Copy the valkyrie APK file to your device. Run the valkyrie APK to install. After the install, you will find an app named 1. "Valkyrie" in your list of apps. Run it. Allow all permissions the app requests. Press the "Import" button inside the Valkyrie app. The import might take a while. After the import you are able to run the desired game type.

  3. If you get a black screen (could also be caused issues by Android 11 or later mentioned below), please go to app settings and check that Storage permissions are on (image below may differ depending on your Android device). grafik

  4. If the import fails, make sure you have enough internal storage space available. Each game type requires up to 300 MB. To be extra sure, have 1 GB of free space available.

Support for Android 11 and later versions
