Its been 2 weeks since my last entry; my excuse is that I was camping with my wife and kids, and our cell phone reception was virtually non-existent (we had a single bar of service when we stood in the middle of the road at our campsite), and out data was less that non-existent. So I didn't update the blog.
So, new and exciting updates in the world of Viking Invasion (the title is soon to be changed to something more evocative and engaging). First, on Tuesday I will be previewing the first selection of artwork. It will be preliminary drawings of a few of the 8 characters in the game, and I am looking forward to it! Within a few weeks I expect that I will be able to share a sample of the artwork in this blog.
In addition to that, I managed to get the Facebook page for the game set up. Its a little plain and pretty bland right now, because there is no artwork in it, but that will change as more is completed. Selections of game art will be used to spruce up the game page, and once we get the first published copy of the game in hand and start making videos those will find a home on the Facebook page too.

In other news, I am finishing the editing of version 2.2 of the rules, which clarify a few things that were murky in version 2.1. By next weeks blog entry those will be made available in PDF form for any who want to read them.
I also have a play test tonight with a good group of players, 4 of whom have never seen the game before, so I'm hoping to get some good feedback there. Though the feedback I have been getting seems to be mostly "That was fun!" or "[this mechanic] really enhances the game!" or "I'd buy that when it comes out!" (all of those are real comments I've gotten from play testers; one guy told me I was sitting on a gold mine with this game).
Thats all I have for now. Thanks for reading!
