What I like most about SAGA is that it is NOT an historical accurate set of rules.
Exactly the point I was attempting to make. For a game based off of the Icelandic Family Sagas, The Edda, and Northern European heroic epic, however, I felt that they missed the opportunity to include the faction of the myths fundamental to those works and the peoples who recited them. Not just Germans, but also Icelandic vikings, Norse, Swedes, Danes, and even Anglo-Saxons (
Waldhere and the English national epic
Beowulf, for example). The Migration Period supplement was the perfect time to include them.
Nevertheless, My apologies if this post came off as a complaint. Rather, it was intended as an evidence-based argument for a Nibelung inclusion within the context of a blog-post.
Unfortunately, I'm not a game designer, so my skills with game balance are not up to par with a professional game designer. I will probably try to make my own board but quality is not assured. My research and creativity time is limited as I've got a whole other problem with
Beowulf that I need to write up and turn into my advisor soon.
