[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 2168676, member: 5278"] My earlier hope of an April release is shattered, but I have not quite given up on May yet. The reason for the delay is that the book is going to be quite a bit longer than I had thought, maybe closer to 200 pages. As I look things up to make sure I have my facts right, I keep finding all this cool stuff I want to put in the book. I thought I knew a lot about Vikings before I started this book, but I have sure learned a whole lot more while working on it! :) Right now I'm working on the monster chapter. Obviously there will be a lot of jotun and troll (no, not the MM variant!) material in there, but also a whole bunch of fey, dragons and undead. I've also included some of the animals that are commonly found in the Scandinavian wilderness and a couple of dire animals found in Jotunheim (the world of giants). I've scattered material from the old sagas as flavor text throughout the book, BTW. It helps give it a genuine Viking feel, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
