Thanks to all our supportive friends, hard-working playtesters and Kickstarter backers!

Hey everybody, when I wrote up the Quarter Court materials I hadn’t seen Gregor Vuga’s really sweet battle move.

Hey everybody, when I wrote up the Quarter Court materials I hadn’t seen Gregor Vuga’s really sweet battle move. I figure it applies quite well to fighting for justice, so I reskinned it! There’s also a list of 24 Goði included, so your devious and desperate players can form alliances, build backstory, and choose who to try to influence.

Please keep me informed about all your fjórðungsdómar antics!

I ran Sagas of the Icelanders twice at Big Bad Con this past weekend. It is a lovely convention game for me – it breaks down to an hour for orientation and making characters, an hour to build a fraught situation, and two hours to resolve it somehow. here are a couple of nice moments from my games at BBC.

Game one: There’s a beautiful moment between the Seiðkona and the Matriarch as they realize the Norwegian woman is moments away from giving birth to a child that will strengthen her husband’s legal claim to their land.

That moment has a name, and the name is “infanticide”.

This game ended with all the men in the family killed and the strong women left struggling to pick up the pieces, the future uncertain.

Game two: In the aftermath of a bloody battle, the wounded Huscarl comforts his older sister over the death of their father.  “I must go tell Gisli,” she says, and her brother’s gaze shifts, and suddenly she knows.

This game featured the arranged marriage of the Huscarl and a Shield Maiden who were good friends but completely uninterested in each other as mates. In the end, after the Huscarl became Goði upon the murder of his father, they married anyway for the sake of political unity.

Whipped up a new one-shot relationship map to fill in; this one has two families bonded by marriage, a sister-in-law, and a lot of room for social problems.

I’d welcome suggestions for names from those who know; obviously the island of outlaws is yanked directly from the literature…

“[the latrine room] at Stöng seems to be an enormously large structure for its purpose. It appears large enough to have permitted every member of the Stöng household to have relieved themselves simultaneously.” – William R. Short, Icelanders in the Viking Age
