NorsePlay is moving!

Hello my NorsePlayers!
Yes, NorsePlay is moving!



Due to an oncoming service closure to my online account provider, I have to migrate all my data to a new account. With technical differences between these accounts, it appears there's no easy way to handoff ownership of this blog to the new account, and so the online URL location of NorsePlay will likely have to change, and there may be other differences post-migration.

In the meantime there could be a delay as this happens, and I've not been given a timeframe for how little/long this current blogger will be up as I strive to move these 600+ entries (and 200+ drafts). In the event this location does deactivate before I get to announce the new URL, do seek out #NorsePlay in your search engine of choice for its reappearance, and you can add as a cyberbridge in that interim NorsePlay's FB account. Note the linked email in the footer paragraph below has also been updated to reflect this, so in case you have direct inquiries, you may also contact me there.

Given the above uncertainties, if you're a current follower you may have to re-follow at the new URL, or if you've left comments/questions (and all have been greatly appreciated!), you may have to repost those to their specific entry, depending.

Thank you all for your follows, attentions, comments, donations, and interest! NorsePlay will see you in its new home as soon as the data-dust settles! Hails to you, NorsePlayers!

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.

iceland: a travelogue

Day -1 : Deplaned! ... and it begins with me sprinting full out from one end of Phoenix's mile-long Sky Harbor Airport to the very last concourse, which of course looks very action film terrorist red flag-like. The plane (if you can call the wee Red Bull can with wings an actual plane) from Tucson was 45 minutes late getting in due to confidence inspiring "maintenance issues", which left me with less than 10 minutes to make my connection to Denver. "The door is closed." I can see the plane through the window, still connected to the jetway. "But the plane is  right there ." "The door is closed. You'll have to go talk to customer service," she states in flat disciplinarian tones with barely veiled punitive relish. By contrast the sweet great aunt US Airways desk agent's deeply apologetic about me losing a whole day in Iceland, and I simply can't get pissed at a nice old lady who's doing her best to get me out as early as

NorsePlay Interviews: Vikingverse Author Ian Stuart Sharpe!

Image
NorsePlay recently reviewed the Vikingverse series , and I loved it so much, I've reached out to its author & creator  Ian Stuart Sharpe to bring you this Q&A interview filled with all the inquiries his brilliant what-if-the-Vikings-had-conquered-the-world masterwork compelled me to ask.  For background, Sharpe's  career as a published writer started with the first Vikingverse installment, The All Father Paradox (2018 CE), continued with sequel Loki's Wager (2020 CE), gained even more literal public support with his crowdfunded Vikingverse graphic novel,  The Jötunn War (2021 CE), and then an equally fan-supported  Vikingverse -adjacent phrasebook Old Norse For Modern Times (2021 CE).   Sharpe's from London, UK, did some growing up in East Anglia, and now lives in Oak Bay, British Columbia, Canada. His longer tech career includes working for the BBC, IMG, Atari, and Electronic Arts. [Note that this interview does contain spoilers. Now, onto the meat 'n&
