Re: Codex Nordica
I quite like it. The book does a good job at balancing the flavor of the setting with basic C&C-isms (i.e., it feels like a Norse setting without being limiting to the game).
It’s got a really nice, extensive introductory setting, which covers the culture, religion, and legends. I’ve certainly got more detailed lore on my book shelves, but as far as putting it all together in one place, I’d say it’s one of the best.

Re: Codex Nordica
Thanks for the info.
Incidentally, how much is the book?
I can't see to find it on TLG's site.
Is it me, or is their main site getting worse?
Links are weird, crap or dead ends.
Thanks.

Re: Codex Nordica
Thanks. I think the TLG admin f-up the link. I can't get there now. It just mentions the sale, but I can't navigate to any products. I'll check back later.

Re: Codex Nordica
Got this in the mail - totally excellent.
When I first heard about the Trolls releasing this, I had mixed feelings ~ wanting it but thinking no, I have so many Norse Mythology and Viking books.
But, I'm glad I purchased the book. Really well put together. Lots of idea generators and other cool stuff.
I recommend this book to all Crusaders and not just cause I'm a direct descendant of Þórr and Sif!

Re: Codex Nordica
Heh, I guess we're related then. On the one side my family traces back to King Hrolf / Rollo, who claimed to be descended from Odin.

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

And those who believe in the Christian Bible would tell you we are all 100% related if you go back far enough.Treebore wrote: About 70% of us are related to some degree.

If Mitochondrial DNA is to be believed, we all go back to the same woman. So yes, we are all related to some degree, regardless of skin color, etc...
Just think, we are all descended from some seriously inbred people. Which would explain a lot.

I have records on my grandmother's side going back to 1340 in Sweden ~ Ostersund, north of Stockholm!
Great grandfather is from Norrkoping, south of Stockholm
Other side, grandfather's mother is Norwegian - Trondheim ~ and granfather's father is Swedish, but not sure where from.
Time to head back to the Motherland to check church records (I know much can be checked here, but there, it's way faster and easier).
Skal!!
