So I ran Sagas last night for a group of 6. We had a Man, 2 thralls, a seithkona a shield maiden and a huscarl. Right off the bat the man decided the huscarl was going to be his son. One of the thralls was the daughter of the man, the other was the brother of the Shield Maiden and favorite of the man. The shield maiden was secretly in love with the Huscarl. The action started after the Huscarl and his crew came back from Viking and were freeloading on the mans farmstead welcome wearing thin. The siethkona comes barging in and predicts his that someone is going to steal what is rightfully his. Immediately the Man suspects that the Shield maiden is trying to rob him. The female thrall tries to hide from her responsibilities and drops the masters glass goblet. It gets real quiet…

Anyhow its too much to digest right now but suffice it to say that it all ends in the thrall who dropped the cup poisoning the man with the help of the Seithkona and the Huscarl marrying Gunnhild from the property next door and deciding not to figure out who killed his dad because he is scared of her. Good times

Gregor, I think I just made a great elevator pitch to some folks re: sagas yesterday.

Gregor, I think I just made a great elevator pitch to some folks re: sagas yesterday. They were going on and on how they loved the show Vikings… and I said I have this great Viking Saga RPG that plays out like a soap opera. And my friends wife Brie looked me straight in the eye and said “I need to play that” so yeah… its on our list now.

Ive been thinking about how I can hack Sagas to be a good Roman game. Not a ton to alter, but also a ton to alter. Wyrd becomes Pietas Godi becomes Patronus, Seidkona becomes Venficia, Thrall / slave and so on. Although I was also thinking of breaking it down by social class Senator, Equites, Pleb, Slave, barbarus. But Ive never really done anything like it. Decidedly Roman stories might be tough too.

Anyhow I’ll keep folks posted on the Icelanders. Also do folks have more recipes. Im in Juneau Alaska so we have a lot of the same climate anything with lingon berries, cloud berries, and salmon would go over well.

Anyone know if there is going to be a reprint my cover is starting to separate and it makes me sad.
