Dark Ages Character Templates

Dangerious P. Cats · 11-11-2010, 11:59 PM

I'm working on a campaign for one of the re-enactment groups I'm involved in set in the Dark Ages. The characters are a warband of Anglo Saxons on a quest to save the local lord's daughter from Viking raiders, though they can be people from a variety of backgrounds (many Saxon warbands were bassically concripts). I'm trying to put together templates for the period (mostly for NPCs) but I've hit a bit of block trying to think of what I'll need to write. I guess the Question for the hive mind is what kinds of people will you encounter in Early Mediecal Europe (If you want to have a crack at writing templates for them you'll get more points towards knowledge: RPGs)?

On another note has anyone run a historical campaign like this before? What advice can you offer? Also are there any good webresources on the period that would be useful for roleplaying?
