I wanted to run the NES to there being some battles, before throwing the Vikings in as a force to push the players in a new direction. Probably a few more updates were needed to get to that interesting point.
I also wasn't comfortable with the "roll" mechanic. I can understand how boring a turn is if you got a 5-10 where essentially nothing happens.. and if players had been more Power Gaming it would quickly have swung the other way where every roll would have been a 20+
It works as a fun forum game, but not something like a NES. I want to reward players creativity and story telling, not a random roll of a dice.
I hope another NES lives, certainly I was excited when @Daftpanzer's NES update, but I understand how infrequent that is.
