I ran across the Kickstarter for the 20th Aniversary Edition and signed up despite not having heard of the game for the last 20 years... largely on the strength of the art and my obsession with all things Viking.
Are there any players with experience to share on how it plays?
Absolutely! This line of games are a real gem in the RPG niche! I have been playing FOTN:R for the last while and that's the version using runes instead of dice or cards. A really nice breath of fresh air if you ask me! ^^
What would you like to know about how it plays? There is a review on RPGGeek that I mostly agree with that you check out here:
