Congrats on the baby Allan!  Let's have the weight and length when you get a chance.  Heck, post a picture of the future DM!  :)


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

The giant Bergelmir escaped, with his wife and children, on a boat made from a hollowed tree trunk. From them rose the race of frost ogres. Ymir's body became the world we live on. His blood became the oceans.


I like this (your) version better!

Mine says

The sons of Bor killed the giant Ymir ...When he fell, so much blood gushed from his wounds that with it they drowned all the race of frost giants except for one who escaped with his household.  The giants call that one Bergelmir.  He, together with his wife, climbed up on to his wooden box, and there they kept themselves safe.  From them come the races of the frost giants ...

I'm going to look for the Snorri Sturluson version as it sounds like it has finer detail in the translation.  Still many good passages and a worthy read in honor of Gygax.

I like

So it is said in The Sibyl's Prophecy:

Surt come from the south
with the fiery destruction of branches.
The sun shines from the sword
of the gods of the slain.
Stone cliffs tumble
and troll witches stumble.
Men tread the Road to Hel
as the sky splits apart

Cheers!
