Now I must have it!You guys also mentioned a bunch of novels that I had never heard of. I can see a huge Amazon bill coming my way...I read Eaters of the Dead and saw the 13th Warrior, they were the reason I got interested in the viking culture and began ploting this new camaping in the first place. Bewulf is very good too. There’s another movie called “The Legend of Grendel” or something which is also quite nice, though a bit old. The Saxon Chronicles are great: I root for the Danish, not for Alfred! I also read “A history of the vikings”, by Gwyn Jones and “The vikings”, by Holger Arbman, both very good. For visual aid I got “The Penguim Atlas of the Vikings” and “Mongols, Huns & Vikings”, by Hugh Kennedy. I’m going to use a house-ruled version of Pathfinder and hope to keep it a low magic/low fantasy game. I think it’s important to keep magical/divine effects and creatures something mysterius and unkown (and quite dangerous too!). I also plan on cutting back on spells and healing to make it a little more deadly than usual to get that grim and gritty feel.My goal is to start the campaign at 1st or 2nd level and take the PCs to 6th or 7th level through a series or 4 or 5 small story arcs. The game will probably start in June or July, so I still have plenty of time to prepare. Any other tips?Thanks againGuilberwood</blockquote>
