Think of it mostly has a role playing exercise with a few taboo activities that can impact some mechanical issues (looting the dead is frowned upon by mortals and immortals as burials and the afterlife are extremely sacred). A lot of this stuff is discussed in the introduction, however there are a TON of sources on Viking history and mythology (easy & fun reads) that can be used by gaming groups that want to take authenticity up a notch.If you are among the lucky bunch and wrap your head around the paradigm of runes and a play mat, then it's easy sailing for all of the mechanics. If you are among those that have a tougher time extricating themselves from the dice paradigm (and its funny to see people try and "roll" runes at the table out of habit), there are some youtube channels that may help, the community is pretty good at helping explain the basics and Pendelhaven has been very responsive. There were a few reviews where the reviewers were a bit confused, and within a day or two they released 1-page helper sheets that really hand hold you through it.Fafnir's Treasure is a very good saga to start with as it uses a lot of diagrams and examples, the book is color coded for different sections and first time skill use and combat are a step by step exercise. Fafnir's can be played through in about 6 hours and has some wiggle room in the adventure where the Norn (GM) can take you on some side quests. The Core Rulebook isn't out yet, but I hear that it'll be a Feb release. I missed the beta, but got my hands on some of the materials from a friend. It's a book I'm definitely going to get the day it comes out, as this system has grabbed me and won't let go!!!If you get FT and have questions, try their FB page where they post news on a very frequent basis, or post back here and myself or some others who have played will gladly help out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
