Episode 07 - the Basque Pilot

Welcome to the seventh episode of Vikings True20 Actual Play. The warband arrived in Novgorod and encountered Koliga Talitsev, sent by the Etruscan to find Blatik. At the inn, they meet Koliga's pilot, Sancho.

The intro and extro music is from Warrior ( The SoLariS Remix ) by SoLaRiS available at ccMixter. You can find out more about SolaRiS at Jamendo. The music playing during the game is from the albums Himlens Polska by Eric Ask-Upmark and Dram by DrĂ¥m available at Magnatune.com.

Novgorod was a very important Norse/Rus trading centre on the Viking trade route to Miklagard (Constantinople). You can read a very brief explanation of the route at Wikipedia.

Wikipedia also includes information on the Slavic peoples, including the East Slavs, such as Koliga, the Basque and the Etruscans. I'll admit it, Wikipedia is becoming my go-to tool for reference. Heck, it's only an RPG game, not a history dissertation.

Episode Interlogue - 07a Character Creation

Welcome to the kind of seventh episode of Vikings True20 Actual Play. I have a new session recorded, but the editing is taking time. Until we have a new episode, I thought I would release the recording of character creation. The player is Jez, a friend from work who popped in to join our game. This is the uneditted recording of the creation of Jez's character "Sancho."

This recording has not been editted so it will contain sidetrips, blind alleys, and nonsense. You've been warned.

The music is from Warrior ( The SoLariS Remix ) by SoLaRiS available at ccMixter. You can find out more about SolaRiS at Jamendo.
