An Early Meal: A Viking Age Cookbook & Culinary Odyssey by Daniel Serra and Hanna Tunberg introduces readers to Viking Age food and cuisine from early medieval Scandinavia. Thoroughly based on archaeological finds, historical cooking methods, and current research, the book is a must-read for those interested in Old Norse culture and food history. Within its pages, the authors dispel many of the prevalent myths that persist about Viking Age food and cookery, share reconstructed recipes, and impart new information drawn from years of experimental research in the field. http://etc.ancient.eu/2015/12/14/viking-age-food-and-cuisine/

Folks, if I have navigated Google Drive correctly, then these wonderful play aids should be at your disposal in the Swords Without Master Resource folder.

Making some aids for my Swords Without Master game. I wanted a time card a bit more fancy than my index card. We were also tripping over the procedures in the phases so I made some graphical reference cards.

Sunday Morning Swords: 13 March 2016

Sunday Morning Swords: 13 March 2016

Good morning!

Here's our organizational thread. Comment below if you're interested in playing this morning and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have play Swords before.

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. around 10.30 EST we will see if we can get a group running. If you can't make that, check back in a few hours.

Possibly, there will be other games firing up later in the day for those who wake at a more civilized time. If you don't see one, feel free to fire one up yourself.

Use the hashtag #SundayAMSwords should you desire to chat about your game on the social medias. And bring your breakfast or brunch. Adventurers need their sustenance! And coffee.

P.S. Got some tips on how to do this and links to useful files here: http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2014/7/14/sunday-morning-swords

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. We'll probably wait until 9:30 EST to start the last group. If you can't make that, check back in a few hours. I hear rumors of other games firing up later in the day for those who wake at a more civilized time. If you don't see one, feel free to fire on up yourself.

A #SwordsWithoutMaster Rogue


A #SwordsWithoutMaster Rogue

Ok, this character is a bit on overdrive. But i think it may be extremely cool to play, and play with.

The Eidolon is a picture of little lady and the silvered one, the arms of Minai dancing around them.

Atum the gutted.

All That Deserves A Name

Veilripper: The curved dagger with which Atum rips apart the gate to the gods - which recides in his belly.

The silver string: the navel-attached string-and-needle Atum uses to suture and heal the veil.

Lovers embrace: armour made of many bronzed arms holding the sutures. Gifted to him by Minai, the capricious gods with which he has fallen in deep love.

the Gods of the dais but Minai: the endless gods who live beyond the veil, residing between the atoms. he can call all but Minai willingly - for she is the god of uncontrollable passion and melancholy.

This shadowed veil: the veiled robe, flowing from the strings in his belly that gives Atum's lower body form.

Pure-tear bauble: The talking, snarking, sadistic bauble that keeps Atum company.

Feats Heroic

Jovial
plunging the veilripper deep into his belly, Atum summons forth "Little Lady and The Silvered One."

Glum
The many arms tighten 'round Atum's chest in a vicegrip of teary calamity, as bronze turns to onyx, and the smoky form of minai glares everywhere.

Trick

Inevitable Foe— The gods outside.

or maybe

Unparalleled - instead of glum, i have chivalry as a tone.

Neon friday nights anyone!?
#FridayPMshades

"Shades without Mirror" is a cyberpunk hack for Swords by Veles Svitlychny which i have been dying to try. You can find the hack here

Let's see if we can hit critical mass - i mean technological singularity.

Here's our organizational thread. Comment below if you're interested in playing friday evening and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have played Swords before. Write at what time you are available, and lets see if we can stitch something together.

When we get an Overplayer [should we call it a Mr. Johnson, agent, AI?] and three or four Punk (rogue) Players, those players will run off and start their hangout.

For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group, and to find out at what time you are available. It'll probably run 19.00 to 21.00 PM eastern - but lets see when people are available, if people are available for longer, and what we can stitch together.

If you are not in the EST timezone, you can use the following link to compare with your schedule. http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/est-to-gmt-converter

Calling out Veles Svitlychny,Derek A. Kamal, George Pletz, Jon Cole, Josh McGraw, Miguel Zapico - Veles, its your hack, so i thought you may wanted to see. You others were more than fantastic to play swords with, and it was around the same time of day, so i thought you might be interested.
