There are a lot of great movies out there to inspire RPG characters, sessions, and campaigns. To be fair, there are a lot of really bad movies out there that can do the same thing. The 13th Warrior is a prime example of the second category. Take a look at what makes The 13th Warrior such a great movie to inspire role playing nirvana.

I would like to warn readers that this book is of a very mature nature and whilst I'm going to try and keep it to a reasonable level — There is no escaping the references to violence and sex; sometimes at the same moment
