[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8797959, member: 6879661"] Wow, sounds right up my ally. You need to be writing that! I’ve been reading the Last Kingdom series which is late 9th Century, so a bit wary but the tensions are very strong there. Don’t forget you ran an excellent Norse Campaign which while not set in a historical setting, could easily have been a mythological history and had all the style and drama of one. It was excellent. Trust the players, trust the DM, and don’t get too hung up in the details. There is no reason the game has to turn into a documentary.
