I don't think I've ever posted in this thread, but I've followed it for quite a while, and I would really, really LOVE to see the rest of the Day After Ragnarok review finished. It appeals to the mythology geek and the budding tabletop geek in me, and whoever was talking about finishing it I would really appreciate the person that started that review finishing it because I liked your review style. I hope this doesn't sound like a random passerby begging for more skilled players to work for them, but this thread led to me starting a paranoia game for my friends and joining a shadow run game so I love hearing great systems with amazing fluff I can draw more people into trying it. anyways, TL;DR of this is you are all doing good things and I'm loving despite being new to the scene, thanks for all you've done to provide me with good newbie friendly stuff and warn me off of the creepy poo poo. Please don't let this thread ever stop.

MonsieurChoc posted:I've got nothing to do all week, so I'm finally going to get off my rear end and finish Charnel Houses of Europe. I've been wondering though, anyone interested in Wraith: the Great War? Since it's the 100th anniversary of World War 1 this year, I've been thinking about it a lot, and if there's anyone interested I'd do it after finishing Houses (probably at my usual glacial pace). I'm interested for sure.

theironjef posted:Eh, that'd all be rad if you were playing a Norseman, but you're playing a Norse god, and they are basically universally assholes and thieves and jerks that played fast and loose with their own rules. Check out the Mead of Poetry legend, I'm pretty sure it's where the inspiration for Jotunblut came from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead_of_Poetry Actually Kvasir was killed by some dwarves and berserkers were a result of the Valkyries telling them they would become einheinjar (the warriors in Valhalla/Freya's hall) but otherwise that's pretty accurate. Also Norse gods don't just play fast and loose with their own rules, they tend to just ignore them when inconvenient. That said even the gods did not gently caress with blood oaths. Loki is kept alive until Ragnarok and leads the denizens of helheim against Asgard in the final battle. The Aesir know this will happen and Odin still refuses to let anyone kill his blood brother. I'm not sure why I just typed all this, I just really like Norse mythology.

oriongates posted:Nixon: Nixon can be used for diplomacy, acting and (of course) lying. He is mostly invoked negatively. One positive use is to understand a foreign culture (called Breaking Down the Great Wall). He can also be invoked to "blank" up to 18 minutes worth of video or audio recording of yourself. Most iconomancers should probably court Nixon just for that, it's invaluable as a tool for insuring your face doesn't get out in the world.
