Planning on running a game heavily involving Viking Mythos and culture. What are some lesser known facts I can use to add some detail to my campaign?

The norse believed that your soul was befitting your social class. Slaves were slaves because they had slave souls and would always become slaves, while a man with a king's soul would always strife for greatness even if born to a slave. Mind you, you dont get a kingsoul without having a king father.

Farming played important role in viking culture.

Looting shit is cool
Stealing is not.
There is one guy, in teh sagas, that is held as a prisoner by a farmer but he escapes with the farmer's silver. But he feels like a thief, so he returns to slay the farmer.
This is a good and honourable thing.

How does /tg/ like their swords?
I have a couple preferences but this is the first thing that comes to mind, I like humble looking swords.

How strange does something need to be to cause SAN damage?

it needs to be a combination of 'strange', frightening or compelling in some other way. remember that episode of the twilight zone 'nightmare at 20,000 feet'? like that. it wasn't merely a strange presence or seeing something weird, it also had a mortal threat associated with it (in this case, a gremlin that was destroying the airplane from the outside).
>>
>>54859955
It's not about strange, it's about damaging a persons subjective reality.
>>
>>54859955
Outlandish enough that it drastically damages the target's worldview and understanding of reality, but not so outlandish that the human brain lolnopes it out of the target's senses for making no sense.

So I'm planning a (modern-day) game that will take place on a tropical island.
Problem is, I know shit-all about tropical islands, and searching for the terms just yields a lot of resorts.
Can /tg/ help me out? Any sort of adventure hook or background detail would be helpful, and I'd also be interested in any info people have about real-life islands, especially regarding non-tourism focused settlements and/or nature preserves.

It's going to be humid as fuck
Bizarre creatures due to isolated environment
Probably no big animals due to not a lot of food.
Bonus points for this place once having natives, but were wiped out by mysterious force.
>>
>>54859410
Thanks for your input! How big is 'big'? Are we talking raccoon-sized? Wolf-sized?
As for the natives, one thing I'm trying to take inspiration from is Easter Island, so mysterious stone heads are likely to be all over the place.

So we're mostly talking Polynesia and the like? Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, Maori New Zealand and so on?
I'd look into the history, mythology and culture of these places, and potentially their interactions with the west for inspiration for how they react to your players. Polynesian myths especially have some cool stuff you could work with.

Personal opinions aside, why haven't they attempted breaking into the tabletop market? I feel like they would make a killing. A wargame would have difficulty competing with GW but a TRPG would probably sell well. The setting is unique enough, I think. I haven't played WoW in forever, but I was just thinking the other day about how they could get into the tabletop hobby.

There was a Warcraft RPG back in the day, and a WoW TCG.

Possibly, but his sanity was shot to shit long before the Emperor found him though.
The Nails were pretty much screwed directly into his brain, and removing it would possibly have killed him.

Hold on there omae, you're getting way ahead of yourself. Focus on getting it sold first. You can plan the shopping trip after you get the cash in hand. But until then, worry about finding a buyer and keeping the heat off your ass.
>>
>>54857255
That's the plan right now, but we don't even know what to spend it on once we get it. We can get literally everything in the books and more.
>>
>>54857136
Give it to a dragon.
Don't spend any of it.
Favours> Actual cash.
Your DM will fuck with you somehow.

How do adventurers stay looking good after a hard day of tromping through a dungeon? This goes back to Lord of the Rings, where Legolas still looked immaculate even when everyone else was nearly dead.

Innate hero-ness. It's the same effect that allows them to wear weird or silly clothing and still be protected, causes them to arrive always at the most dramatic time and overcomes inconsequential things like rations, tents and the like.
