One of the things that we're definitely finding as we do these smaller books is that the excitement level from the writers for "not only do I want to write this, I want to USE this in my games!" is pretty high. Kevin and I are already plotting the next book.

The cover art is simply phenomenal, I love the oil painting style! The interior art, while not not "impressive", serves and fulfills its role perfectly and maintains a consistency throughout. Quote:

Now that I'm done reading the latest Power-Ups by Kromm I will reread it, make any edit comments I spot (if any) in the kickstarter? For my setting I had no intention of using Norse gods but I am adding these to the setting. I have one minor quibble or suggestion if you can add it. Give them domains or portfolios called directly out, this would work well with the Dungeon Fantasy line, specifically DF 5: Allies. On a purely personal and selfish note that may also make importing to my setting that uses a different magic system easier.

Some of them will be pretty clear, some might take some doing. Lady of Life maps pretty directly, and Mischief is Chaos. The Allfather maps to Wisdom and War, the Lawgiver is Order and War, Death is, well, Death. Beyond that, you will not-ever see call-outs directly to the main DF line in the licensed DFRPG products as they're published. First, that's opening a giant can of worms, and second it's not part of the license. That being said . . . I could easily see mapping those to the DF5 domains in the same designer's notes blog post.

Yeah, that was my thought Divine Elements or portfolios can be inferred, but may not be very clear to all readers or balanced compared to others depending on readers interpretation. So my suggestion just helps it to be even more drop in ready, though it already is very good in that regard.

Re: Nordlond Sagas: Three new books for the DFRPG
It would be useful for me to have the Norse name of the god in parentheses beside the generic name. Also holy symbols for each go would be useful too.

Allfather is Odin Goddess of Death is Hella The Fates are the Norns, though thats actually kind of complicated as there are other norns. Lawgiver is Tyr Lady of Life is Freya, less sure on this one. God of Mischief is Loki Queen of the World is most likely Frigga God of Thunder is Thor Lord of Warding sounds most like Heimdall God of Wind and Sea is a tough one but I think kind of fits Balder So thats 3 I'm really not sure of

I'd have to look up Njordr to refresh my memory. Valfreya makes sense Frigga and Freya were probably the same goddess at different stages of life. Skadi, I barely remember, darn my Norse mythology is rusty. Thank you.
