[@Buddha] Perhaps, but I was pretty sure that's exactly what I'd presented here - just a bunch of Vikings going 'a viking', not with any real intention of particular factions or people. In fact I'd quite like to stay [b]away[/b] from history, but still think sacking an island monastery would be a good place to begin.

As someone of experience then, who would you say [b]is[/b] popular? From what I can tell no-one is all that popular as a historical subject, unless you count pirates...but they're pirates. I've already gone for a nice broad Roman-sized brush that never worked.

What can ye do, eh?

I agree, but I find it's generally hard to interest people in things that aren't 'the current hot topic on RPG'. I've learned over the course of my few years of GMing that generally the only way I can get an RP that isn't part of the 'mainstream' roleplay topic (I hate saying mainstream, I'm not critiqueing those RP's) is to have friends that I can count on to join up.

What is popular is standard fairy tales - princess and prince pairings, but that's only in 1x1. In group RP's it's typically a fandom. It's how things go. :lol

Nice Sutton Hoo ;)
