Just bought it! The quality of this is very high. A good 70% is immediately useful and I was impressed with the character stats layout. I thought the two pages spent on tribal rings could have been left out in favour of the clan questionairre and perhaps a few tables generating how many steads, what shrines you have, how many cows, etc.

Quite a few questions were answered by this product. I was amazed that priests charged for rituals and the basic currency was the chicken!. It also posed other questions...

  1. Towns were mentioned a few times. Are they..
  2. Big steads that got bigger?
  3. Some sort of fort that, say, protected a crossroads that attracted a settlement?
  4. A small city?
  5. None of the above.
  6. I'm assuming that if there are towns similar to ones we know then you will be living amongst those who aren't kin. Who is your boss?
  7. Is the creation of a town a need to concentrate resources on manufacture in a certain place?
  8. If No 3 is correct do you look to your guild here?
  9. Temples seem to be a second tier of authority seperate from kinship. Are towns one of those road side temple complexes mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago?
  10. With hero and religious bands wandering willy-nilly over the land do you get seasonal worker's bands?

Cheers,
Tom
