Okay to make this easier here is the IC Thread of our Saga Game. FOr those of you who are interested some general information:
What is Sagas?
It's a Pen and Paper RPG set in the Years around 900 on the Islands of Iceland. The Players take the Roles of various Norwegian Settlers on Iceland in their day to day lives and the grand events.
As the Name says Saga is about the Legendary Stories of various Families. Magic and Magical beings do indeed still exist and the Gods of Old are still present. However in later years of the Game the White Christ may become an ever greater threat for the Old Ways.
Our Story so far...
The Three Sigurdson Brothers fled from Norway due to yet unkown circumstances their father had found himself on the wrong side of the civil war against Harald Fairhair. In any case two of the Brothers, Egil (played by Ardas) and Olaf (played by adwarf), have settled two farmsteads next to each other. The two are at odds, due to struggles about the family heirloom sword which has caused quite the feud to establish itself between them. The Third Brother, Bjorn is a true warrior at heart and owns his own Knorri. He lives with Egil and so far has kept neutral in the small feud.
It is early summer and the time to raid has arrived, but while Bjorn is preparing everything for the departure, Egil and Olaf have to deal with something else entirely cattle has started to vanish in the neighbourhood and wolf howls could be heard in the night. What is more unsettling however is that no wolves exist on Iceland. While often enough Wild Dogs plagued the surroundings something about the whole thing is unsettling and what is more, a quickly gathered hunting party found a dead stranger in the forest.
Meanwhile Bjorn in his attempts to gather the crew from the various meadhouses found himself at odds with another vikingr. Aki Hooknose, is a man that should not be crossed, however he still agreed to join the raiding party of Bjorn with his own crew and ship. But Bjorn has encountered yet more, talking with the local Godi Orm the Squinter he hoped to have his future seen by the Priest. What was seen however was a dismal prophecy: Orm foresaw Bjorn drowning in the Seas...

I'm curious can i join?
Potentially yes. However note that the story has already started and i would prefer you to be somebody already existing. Otherwise if you can deliver me a good backstory i might integrate you in the story. Just send an application via pm. I can aso give you a pdf of the rules if you intend on joining and have no idea on the rules of the game.
I just want to watch
That is very nice but please refrain from posting in this thread then, i will propably create a seperate Discussion Thread soonish. That includes PTW-Posts, those really look terrible.
