Every Viking needs a nickname. Gobgob has gone with Gobgob the Peckish.
Age of Vikings: Core Rulebook is a standalone roleplaying game from Chaosium by Pedro Ziviani (2025), set in medieval Iceland, where Vikings seek honour and fame through adventure. It runs on Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying engine, and this full-colour hardcover has the complete rules and hero creation, along with Viking life, laws and religion, creatures of legend, and rules for ships, seafaring and naval battles. It also covers rune magic and seiður, has a bestiary, and includes the introductory adventure The Alþing with ready-to-play heroes.
Gobgob's favourite bit: You cast spells by combining Norse runes, and the bestiary has a long section on the mysterious Hidden People. Gobgob is being very polite to every rock, just in case.
