If you want to play D & D vikings. this is the book for you
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The best book ever written to turn your D & D characters into vikings is ten years old, and counting. (Stay away from the new Ragnarok book from Avalanche Press). Want new character classes? Here you go. Want a scenario for an up-and-coming Viking? Here you go.The only problem is that it is not ready for d20, but the necessary updating will help you get your viking campaign off the ground. Buying "Greenland Saga: The Lost Norse Colony" from Avalanche Press will help you in this regard.
Best of the AD & D Historical Reference Series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is out of print and won't be reprinted, but if you come across a used copy and prefer complete character classes to the character kits so prevalent in most AD & D 2nd ed. sourcebooks, you will want this one. It has a Berserker class and a Runecaster class, both interesting Warrior classes. There is also a half-troll race. AD & D is well suited to a Viking style campaign, and this resource is better presented than any of the other HR series. I doubt you'd have any trouble converting this to either 1st or 3rd edition (though as I'm writing this, 3rd ed. is still a few months away). Just remember, this is a game resource, not a real historical reference.
