If anyone has seen the history Channel show Vikings, you'll know how gosh-darned badass that entire affair is. So badass, in fact, I'd like to make an RP about it. Fictional characters in a non-fiction timeline (similar to Sharpe), I'd like to have a story about a group of marauders travelling to France, Britain, Germany etc and the battles and lives they lived. I'm going to need at least a basic knowledge of the vikings, and a decent grasp of punctuation and grammar. Strong violence and gore, and possibly sexual references (I can't stop my warband from taking their rightful winnings, can I?).

So what do you guys think?

Being our very own resident Brazilian Viking, I find myself immensely interested...

Good stuff! Vikings has to be one of the most interesting races (for lack of a better word) ever. Their mythology is simply incredible. I'm glad you're interested though.

I'm pretty interested.

However, the only knowledge I have is learning about them briefly in school.

Think of this as more of a on-the-go learning process then. Google it, read a Wiki, ask any specific questions you have. Thankfully there are a lot of materials regarding the vikings.

No problem. Google stuff when and where you require and I won't ask any questions. I'm not after a 100% historically accurate roleplay, acceptances can be made, but I'm just trying to create as much of an authentic atmosphere as I can without hindering the interest of everyone.

Will our characters be able to die if we make poor choices?

Yes, definitely. I'll leave that to you, but if I feel they should've died, I will kill them.

I think another one or two people should be enough, what do you guys reckon?

It really is. Well-acted, well-written, really great action scenes. I can't praise it enough.
