Sagas of the Icelanders: The Game – Page 11 – Powered by the Apocalypse G+ Archives

So.

So… I’m heading to Iceland in January for a week! Any Icelandic storygamers want to hook up for a session or two? I know the days are short and love to game 🙂

Has anyone made a nice, printable version of the common moves that takes up the front and back of a single piece of paper? Jason Morningstar, I’m looking your way. I remember your awesome character sheets from the beta version (did you ever update them?)

So the Man playbook doesn’t work as written for our group’s current game- we’re playing across generations rather than seasons or years, and the scope of managing the farmstead just doesn’t click.

Does anyone have ideas for an alternative version of the Man moves? I’m looking for something that captures the essence of it in moves that focus more on in-session interactions. The only thing that comes to mind is a beginning-of-session move to determine the success of the farm, similar to the Woman’s “Running the House” move.

Hey Gregor Vuga, any idea when the physical books from the Indiegogo will be shipping out?

Hey Gregor Vuga, any idea when the physical books from the Indiegogo will be shipping out? Running a campaign soon and I vastly prefer referring to paper materials (yeah, I know that’s backwards).

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…

If you are an original backer and didn’t get the digital rewards for some reason, or forgot to download them send me an email please!

Same goes if you want to re-download the updated manual because there have been a few more fixes (typos etc.) since the original release of the digital rewards.

Sagas is now available for sale! You can get it in the standard Print+PDF and PDF-only deals.

To celebrate this occasion, Pedro Ziviani’s Saga-inspired Fiasco Playbook is getting released to the general public as well. You can download it here: http://goo.gl/cDwjI9

(Take note: The backers’ rewards are in the process of fulfilment and will take precedence. If you’re a new customer and wish to buy the physical book please allow for delays while the crowdfunding rewards/reprints get sorted out.)

I’ve been watching History Channel’s Vikings TV show and man, does it ever make me want to play Sagas of the Icelanders.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a look, if only because Lagertha and Ragnar are so great.

I have been picked to run a session of Sagas of the Icelanders next Monday. Any particular saga you want to recommend for me to read in order to inspire my game? I have read Njal’s saga many years ago and I have the Penguin Classics edition of The Sagas of Icelanders right here. Just start at the beginning, with Egil’s?
