LandoTheArchmagi Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I'm thinking of doing a Mythic Britain (Viking Age) type game so is the Mythic Iceland book/pdf worth getting or should I just do my own stuff converting Viking material from other TTRPG and lore/mythology? Also would you recommend recommend using BRP or Magic World? I did just buy Magic World/Magic Book/Advanced Sorcery pdfs for $14 or so off DriveThruRPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Mythic Iceland is well worth getting for extra flavour and advice on how to do things. You might need to adapt things for Vikings in Britain. 10 hours ago, LandoTheArchmagi said: Also would you recommend recommend using BRP or Magic World? Personally, I prefer BRP to Magic World, as I am not that keen on Stormbringer-style mechanics. 2 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

Thanks, I'll consider getting Mythic Iceland then. I love Stormbringer/Elric, but it probably doesn't really fit a more Norse fantasy type setting so will look at the generic BRP rules and throw in stuff from the Magic Book if I think it fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozbat Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The RQ3 Vikings boxed set would be useful too, though not sure it's easily available. It has a number of scenarios based in Norway but easily moved to Britain. ICE Campaign Classics Vikings is also a useful sourcebook but again probably difficult to find. Mongoose Vikings of Legend is interesting for a more 'heroic' campaign. Likely difficult to find too though Design Mechanism Waterlands and Logres is useful for Saxon information (although set in 500CE)but scenarios could be adapted and happily both are available still I'm with @soltakss... BRP would be my choice of rule system but elements from both could be interesting 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmchairPI Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 There was a Dark Ages CoC Monograph #348 The Ravenar Sagas that might be worth a look. I always “cut and paste” stuff from a lot of sources when I build my campaigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobarstep Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Vikings of Legend as was already mentioned. There is also the Mythic Britain sourcebook itself from Design Mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually own the ICE Vikings supplement and the Mythic Britain/Logres/etc books as I bought them years ago to run a Mythras/Mythic Britain campaign, although, it is set much earlier timeline wise. Grabbed the BRP book on the .99 sale off DTRPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
