What is the NorseForged Gathering?
NorseForged Gathering is an immersive fantasy faire where history collides with fiction, creating an unforgettable experience for cosplayers, gamers, and adventurers. This event is for all ages and those who still live with magic in their hearts. We have a dedicated hall for card and TTRPG games, while also having a realm of vendors, encampments, food/drink, entertainment, and activities for everyone.
The Future of NorseForged Gathering
NorseForged Gathering is far from over. We want everyone to know that there will be a NorseForged Gathering 7, and our team is already hard at work planning not only the future of the Gathering itself, but also additional events between now and then. There is a great deal happening behind the scenes, and while the road ahead may not always be easy, we will never let this realm die. The NorseForged community has always been built by passionate nerds, adventurers, creators, gamers, cosplayers, merchants, musicians, and dreamers coming together to create something truly special — and that spirit is stronger than ever.

NFG6 Premier Tent Rentals
We want to address the Premier Tent Rental issue at NFG6. The venue assured us that more rental tents would be available than were ultimately provided, resulting in some guests not receiving their purchased accommodations. We are currently issuing direct refunds to all affected guests. If you did not receive your Premier Tent Rental, please contact us at NorseForgedGathering@gmail.com so we can ensure your refund is processed. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience and support, we hope you still had an incredible time at the Gathering.
Thank you to everyone who came to NFG6!
NorseForged Gathering 6 would not have been possible without the incredible people who brought the realm to life. To every content creator, performer, musician, merchant, encampment, volunteer, staff member, and guest who walked through the gates of NFG6 — thank you. Every laugh shared around a campfire, every costume crafted with passion, every song played, every quest completed, every story told, and every memory made became part of the magic that filled the grounds throughout the weekend. You are what transforms NorseForged from simply an event into a living world.
At its heart, the Gathering has always been about community, and this year that spirit shined brighter than ever before. The energy, creativity, kindness, and passion that everyone brought to NFG6 helped make this our best year yet. From the bustling merchant bazaar and immersive encampments to the stages, taverns, gaming halls, and campgrounds, the realm felt alive because of every single person who chose to be part of it. Thank you for believing in the Gathering, for supporting one another, and for continuing to help build something truly special together.

AN Immersive World
Step into a realm of unforgettable adventures
Community
The NorseForged Gathering emerged organically in 2022 from a humble desire: a blade smith with a huge shop wanted to host a D&D night for his friends. A simple online invite blossomed into an epic night of tabletop games, swordplay, vendors, food, and connections. This small event sparked something bigger – a "Gathering of the Nerds" where the community itself remains the true heart of the experience. Every year the event gets bigger and better, still being run by NorseForged and friends.
Content creators
Some of your favorite fantasy content creators will be joining us at NFG6, not just as guests, but as living parts of the story itself. These creators are being woven directly into the event’s lore, appearing as characters, champions, and storytellers whose presence helps shape the world unfolding around you. Throughout the weekend, you’ll have opportunities to meet them, interact with them in character and out, and experience the Gathering through their unique perspectives. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this is your chance to step into a shared legend and connect with the creators who help bring fantasy to life.
