A bibliography.

So I’ve been busy during the quarantine, writing writing writing. And one of the things I’ve been writing is (working title) The English Campaign: The Viking Great Army vs. the Four Kingdoms of England, 865-871, a Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition-compatible game which I’m planning on offering up on Kickstarter later this year.

I started writing it on March 5th, a week before I left for Spring Break. I finished it–well, the alpha version of the game–this morning. And, because I’m me, I decided to post the bibliography for the game. I figure there’s gotta be someone out there who would be interested in all the stuff I’ve been reading and using for the game:
