Mythic Iceland

[rust]

I would second the old ad&d 2e Viking source book for another reason as well.

It seems a nasty case of bad timing that WotC has withdrawn the PDF of
the Viking source book from Drive Thru RPG only recently ... :mad:

I'm another looking forward to this book. We've been running a BRP game set in the midguard of Norse tradition. The eddas are useful, and plenty of ammo for god/hero adventures as well as the more mundane kind.

I'm also quite keen on this book. Norse myths are incredibly rich and I can see the fun in playing a Dark Age campaign around or with them. So count me in for the book.

If I remember correctly, I think the author is aiming to submit it in october.

Yes another 'must" to have source book for my own gaming library! When will it come out?

The author is a member of this forum, but not very active to say the least. Last summer, at the last Tentacles Con, I saw a preview of it that looked pretty close to finished. Haven't really heard that much since then though.

Well anything Viking is always a great item to have and anything on the Fae is yet another great must to have as well too.

It's time for a progress update!

I have finished writing the book. The complete manuscript is now in Chaosium's hands. I have not heard from them yet about a publication date, but I will post news with regards to that when I can. The final page count should be around 200 pages.

Mythic Iceland presents a setting that blends the Sagas with fairytales of Iceland, focused on the Pagan Commonwealth Period from 930 to 1050, and is written so that both purely historical and fairy-tale inspired campaigns are supported.


This is the list of chapters (this may change as Chaosium prepares the book for publication):

- History of Mythic Iceland
- Character Creation
- Life in Saga Age Iceland
- Law and Government
- Norse and Christian Religion
- Magic in Mythic Iceland
- Traveller's Guide to Mythic Iceland
- The Hidden People
- Álfheimur, The World of the Elves
- The Lands to the West - Greenland and Wineland
- The Known World
- Going Viking
- Running a game of Mythic Iceland
- Creatures of Icelandic Sagas and Fairy Tales
- A complete adventure for Mythic Iceland set in pre-conversion times
- Appendix: Cthulhu Dark Ages Iceland
- A complete Cthulhu Dark Ages scenario

This is good news, I am very much looking forward to this one.
