EP3: Headbutting into the Viking Times
Listen now
Description
Keon explores his inner murder hobo, journeying to Denmark at the height of the Viking empire where he seeks to be worshipped as a god and to start a feud with a rival. PastMaster is the time-travel role-playing adventure show where Ryan, Keon and Tan explore a different era of history each episode with the help of our AI GameMaster. Heading to Denmark circa 900AD, Keon embraces the brutality of the age, styling himself as Jarl Olaf and headbutting a rival right off the bat to show how tough he is. On a raiding voyage to England, Keon makes no bones about slicing monks in half and taking the lion’s share of the loot. As his rival Bjorn starts to lose favour in the shadow of Jarl Olaf, Keon comes up with ever more dastardly and creative ways to discredit his adversary. To keep everyone on their toes Ryan also inserts a ‘secret’ tweak to the game, although it doesn’t take long before Game Master lets the cat out of the bag… No podcast about Vikings would be complete without mentioning one of the greatest ever pieces of historical fiction, The Long Ships by Frans G Bengtsson and the TV show Vikings Get in touch with us at: Instagram = @PastMasterPod (check out our AI-generated art illustrating what our adventures might have looked like) Twitter = @PastMasterAI Gmail = [email protected] Sign up to our newsletter at https://pastmaster.beehiiv.com/subscribe to unlock goodies
