[QUOTE="jjnevins, post: 8901914, member: 8997"] Hi-- My new Kickstarter has just gone live. It's for [I]The Fury of the Northmen[/I], a 5e-compatible rpg set in England during the first six years of the Viking invasion of England (865-871 CE). [I]The Fury of the Northmen[/I] is historical fantasy; it's an equal mix of imagination and intensely researched Scandinavian & English history, myth, legend, and folklore. If the Kickstarter funds, patrons can get: [LIST] [*][I][B]The Player's Guide[/B][/I], a 450+-page book containing completely new character classes (nearly all the 5e character classes weren't compatible with the historical setting), new PC folk, 600+ new spells, dozens of historical ethnicities, and everything else needed to create a [I]Northmen [/I]character and play a [I]Northmen [/I]game or campaign. [*][I][B]The World Book[/B][/I], a 250+-page book containing everything a GM could want to know about the [I]Northmen [/I]setting: the kingdoms of England as of 865, the cultures, the religions, the philosophies, the lived experiences, and all the other basics of both English and Scandinavian societies; a gazetteer of the England of [I]Northmen[/I]; the who, what, where, when, and why of both the historical Viking invasion and the Viking invasion in the world of [I]Northmen [/I](two different things); rules for large-scale battles; sixty manuscript pages of new treasure types and items; and a long list of resources for people interested in learning more. [*][B][I]The Bestiary[/I][/B], a descriptive catalogue of 240+ new monsters for the setting. Rather than create a third book for the Kickstarter, I decided to put the entirety of the [I]Bestiary[/I]--all 240+ new monsters--on a free website whose design will be paid for by the Kickstarter and which will contain not just the [I]Bestiary[/I] but all the errata and freebie material for [I]Northmen[/I]. [*]various add-ons: a poster-sized map of the England of the [I]Northmen[/I] setting; a pad of [I]Northmen [/I]character sheets; a leather [I]Northmen [/I]dice tray; and a set of six [I]Northmen [/I]dice. [/LIST] [I]Northmen[/I] is unlike any other Viking rpg ever published--more historical information (as much as fun allows) and more intensely researched setting, cast of characters, and monsters--and it's pretty good. (Admittedly, I'm biased). So...take a look, won't you? Thanks!
