The 'Unnatural Selections' series is our regular round up of notable Chaosium reviews worth a look.


"A new game with deep roots": Hear the call of glory and honor, journey proud across your land free from the tyranny of kings and queens—enter the Age of Vikings! Check out what reviewers have been saying about our roleplaying game of mythic adventure:
  • "A new game with deep roots - Norse myth and the Dark Ages are subjects which RPGs have drawn on extensively over the years, but Age of Vikings raises the bar appreciably, making it a highly useful release for anyone running a game touching on this era or its myths." — Refereeing and Reflection.
  • “Chaosium's Age of Vikings brings the Icelandic region's history to life at the storyteller's table through myth and fact, breaking away from the fantasy tropes of the time.” — TTRPG Insider.
  • “Pedro Ziviani and the entire team of authors, illustrators and graphic designers have created a historical role-playing game that has all the requirements to satisfy Viking enthusiasts.” — DM Magazine (Italian).
  • "Whether you're a die-hard RuneQuest fan, a Call of Cthulhu veteran, or brand new to Chaosium’s legendary RPG catalogue, Age of Vikings delivers an unforgettable narrative roleplaying experience steeped in historical authenticity, Norse mythology, and gritty combat.” — Dungeons & Dyslexia.
  • “A product of the very high level to which Chaosium has accustomed us for some time.” — RoleZine #9 (Italian).
  • "A love letter to the Icelandic sagas, told through the ever-reliable lens of Chaosium’s Basic Roleplaying (BRP) engine... This is one of those rare RPG books that doesn’t just check the boxes, it grabs you by the collar, drags you to mythic Iceland, and makes you feel the frost on your beard (or braids) as you walk into a saga of your own making. 4.5/5." — ZEG Media.
  • “Refines the Basic Roleplaying (BRP) system nicely. It’s a great entry point for players looking to get into BRP gaming.” — D20gamerX (Nerdburgulars).
  • “Age of Vikings could become the gold standard of Viking themed RPGs. There's plenty here to recommend.” — The Gaming Gang.
