Vikings Westward (closed)

Again calling dibs on a whaler character!

Vikings Westward

@Reflection@SantosGabriel77@Joker892@Sigurd@Baconator@Sirkaithethird

I have decided that it will be historically based as I had planned in the beginning. The monsters will be the giant squid or megalodon the shark. Those are historical enough and based in fact. I mean come on wouldn't you think it was a hell of a monster if tentacles bigger than your boat tried to pull you down?

@Wick

That sounds good because I planned on making my character a whaler crewman.

Take out the monsters I'm in. I'm up for believing in the pagan ways, I reenact that anyway. Haakon Skalli (Hakkon the bald) will be preparing the Odin's whisper for sea, if the fantasy disappears. But that's up to you.

@Sirkaithethird

I am still on the fence on monsters or not.

@Wick

Yeah, it would be better as a purely historical scenario with some limited 'magical' elements.

They don't have to be real monsters. They can be just people playing tricks. Or you can limit the paranormal to some völva-type characters or mysterious wanderers with low-key prophetic powers.

You know, a Valkyrie can only be an illusion of a dying person or a normal shieldmaiden claiming ancestry from some god or other, it does not have to a literal supernatural entity.

My name speaks for me in this one. Count me in! Skål!

That sounds interesting, but I'm afraid I am too busy for an actual tabletop game. ;_;

Underrated and Overrated Video Games

<Snipped quote by Sigurd>

Doom is one ofnthe most highly praised and cited PC games of all time, often credited with modernising the FPS genre as a whole. If you think that is 'underrated' then you are just not satisfied that people dont like the gane as much as you do.

@Dynamo Frokane

Slint is highly praised and credited with creating the 90's, rock-wise, yet they are not that popular nowadays and no one outside some hipster circles says yeah dude, play some Slint! The same goes for Doom. It's kind of dead now, compared to the 90's let's say or compared to other FPS's people tend to play. The last year's release helped, I admit that.

And I am just nostalgic about it, I don't really like in any special way to be honest.

I guess we could say it's 'underpopular' instead of underrated, because it is considered a classic like you said. But that's the meaning I thought was implied in this thread when I agreed with cpldingo.

Sorry for the delay, GM. I'll try to post my character either today or tomorrow. I just got caught up in a lot of school work.

Just make sure you mention in his history on how he ended up in New York, please. Maybe he got a better job offer. :)

@HushedWhispers

Oh, I meant him to actually be a mechanic in NYC lol. Will see if I can figure something out.
