NorsePlay.

Here's the thing about  Brute Norse : It's my favourite podcast. Creator/host/p hilologist  Eirik Storesund is the punk rock academician you never knew you needed. Irascible, hypercritical, and occasionally crass, all blendered into the unapologetically erudite. That mixing of dwarf-burnt motor oil into Nordic spring water makes you wonder how that even works. BN 's not the same 101/105 intro course level re-tread over so much that it's churned into the shallowest of indistinguishable muddy ground material that everyone else does.

Probably the most gaspingly wrong response card from Cards Against Heathenry , this subject specific variant NorsePlay game contains Norse Lore at its most ingloriously lewd, Asatru books both malapropismed & questionably sourced, name dropping of renowned Heathen public figures from all organizations, and references to well-loved Heathen podcasts past & present.
