So I sent out a community invite for my viking game, and then this happened...

Ernie Gygax:
 Alas Mike I do not get my writing and creating done anywhere near what I should, let alone am able.  Your game is Old School D&D done in the World of Northmen and it would be Heroic to play within.  The Thane Class really looked cool with a decent chance of gathering either Housecarls or Archers.  Both of which I of course wish in all games and a true Berserker or two to break an enemy formation or historically to hold a Bridge.  I must say no but anybody with time to kill and a desire for High Adventure should say YES.


Pretty cool endorsement from a living Gygax. Had to show my wife - she had no idea who he was of course of my sudden ego boost. Hehe.

So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post).  Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.)  What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...
