Oh, yeah, and it's got vikings!

A friend's post elsewhere reminded me of something I accidentally left off my list of things I liked about the Rune RPG.

• Vikings. By Odin's eye, I can't believe I overlooked them.

They're pretty damn cool. Both in the cinematic action-packed mead-swilling sense, and because of the context of some very neat cultural elements. Rune focuses more on the action and mayhem, of course, then on anything I could really refer to as my heritage.

I can still voice my long hidden love of the subject matter. Thor and Leif Erikson have always had a place in my heart, though I'm sure they'd be happier with that fact if I was the kind of guy who got plastered and sang their glories.
