Kiss My Axe: Thirteen Warriors and an Angel of Death
 |
Vikings - they invoked fear in the monks of England and fascination in the Victorians from that same nation. Raiders and reivers¸ explorers and merchants¸ the men from the North left no part of Europe untouched¸ and reached beyond¸ to lands only imagined or wholly unknown. Their imprint on European history is so strong¸ they have their own eponymous epoch. Dread warriors¸ they have been a staple of fiction and a paradigm of the barbarian. Is it any wonder role-players regularly turn to them for inspiration?
"Kiss My Axe: Thirteen Warriors and an Angel of Death is a role-playing game of Viking adventure¸ interested more in the heroics of the sagas than the violence inflicted upon innocents. Based on the underlying system from Sword Noir: a Role-Playing Game of Hardboiled Sword & Sorcery and the Sword's Edge System¸ the mechanics have been altered to provide more vivid and exciting combat.
