The show portrays Ragnar as a farmer who rises to fame by successful raids into England, and eventually becomes a Scandinavian king, with the support of his family and fellow warriors: his brother Rollo, his son Björn Ironside, and his wives—the shieldmaiden Lagertha and the princess Aslaug. The series is inspired by the tales of the raiding, trading, and exploring Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia. It follows the exploits of the legendary Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok and his crew and family, as notably laid down in the 13th century sagas Ragnars saga Loðbrókar and Ragnarssona þáttr, as well as in Saxo Grammaticus's 12th century work Gesta Danorum.

Mr. Initier à L'Appel de Cthulhu : Trouver des joueurs « Les hommes doués intellectuellement savent qu’il n’y a pas de différence nette entre le réel et l’irréel. » – HP Lovecraft Parmi toutes les expériences de jeu de rôle possibles, l’initiation fait partie des incontournables. Tôt ou tard, de nombreux meujeux se mesurent à un groupe de débutants pur jus, qu’ils se proposent de corrompre à notre loisir favoris. J’ai tenté l’expérience à de nombreuses reprises. L’avantage de l’initiation est évident : peu habitués au jeu, les initiés seront facilement impressionnables. Trouver Joueurs Cachés « Coucou, tu veux jouer avec moi ? Le jeu de rôle est un loisir assez méconnu, auquel la plupart des non-joueurs ne connaissent rien. A des joueurs totalement novices, et potentiellement déconnectés de la culture geek, SF, et a fortiori lovecraftienne, j’ai l’habitude de présenter le jeu comme « un jeu de société où l’on incarne des personnages, mélangé avec les histoires d’épouvante racontée au coin du feu ».

We live in a time of comic book-inspired cake and pie. And we are all getting cavities. In the current state of entertainment, fans receive pretty much anything they ask for. That ease of pop culture excess has left us with a ubiquitous amount of comic book movies. I used to dream about a filmmaker getting the comic book movie formula correct onscreen. M. Unbreakable revolves around depressed everyman, David Dunn (Bruce Willis). The polar opposites wind up bringing the hero and villain out of both characters. But while Elijah Price is the bad guy, he is also the audience’s guide. One of film’s best scenes comes when Elijah’s mother, desperate to have her son go outside and live a normal life, encourages him to visit a park across the street. The carefully constructed scene perfectly gives you an idea of how important comic books were to Shyamalan.
