Which is to say that I know I owe you good people many, many posts, but I'm happier than I can tell you to announce that my "Conan the Barbarian: 1948" meets "Quatermass and the Giant Snake" Savage Worlds setting, The Day After Ragnarok, is finally available from Atomic Overmind.The print version will be at Origins, we devoutly hope, but surely you ( Read more... )

Bought it. Read it. Wrote and posted a short adventure for it.

I really like this background. And the part about the snake cult that worships Harry S. Truman is utterly priceless.

Love it! I can just picture some general, growling at the OSS: "We're in an alternate history, dammit! We have to have airships!"

Have mentioned it in dispatches. Well, one little dispatch.

Just read through some of the previews on the Atomic Overmind site. You're a crazy person. :D

If it isn't printed on old-timey paper, or carved on the side of a pyramid, then it may as well not exist. I'm looking forward to seeing the print version, though.

You pretty much sold me with this line: But the proudest kingdom of the world was Australia, the last green and pleasant land, ringed around by its dominions and bulwarked by the sea

I'm especially curious as how we, as a nation that had a population of under 10 million forges an empire after ragnarok.

Is everyone else dead? That might do it by default.

Basically, a giant snake falls on most of the UK, the person next in line to the throne happened to live in Australia, and the throne of the British Empire relocates to Sydney...

Just look what the U.S. started with-even lost a war to Canada at 1 point.
+ people from Oz can headbutt cement.

From the realm of coincidence comes this question; have you read Norse Code yet?

princeofcairo June 3 2009, 06:33:21 UTC

I haven't, no. Is it any good?

I think so. Hod plays a role, Baldr doesn't fare well, there's a rebellious valkyrie, and Munin makes a few observations. I'm not done yet, but based on what I've read so far, and my knowledge of the author (Greg has a LiveJournal and is a local), I have hopes for the ending. It's a sardonic modern day take on the subject complete with a disintegrating California, and a god (Hermod) who avoids magic swords like the plague.
