I’d be willing to write kenning-like lists for just about everything if there is a demand. Thank everybody for the kind comments.

Excellent resource. I agree with previous commenters, an entire series of these would be very useful for home campaign development.

I’d love to see a similar list that isn’t so Norse-oriented. You can pluck a lot of great ideas from this for fantasy that’s themed a bit differently, but I’d love to see a hundred or so ideas that translate more easily into more generic fantasy settings.

These are great. This is the type of thing that brings those little touches to a game and makes it magic.

Yep, these are the sort of list I want my skald PC to have nearby at all times. Hell, I want my Midgardian reaver dwarf to have them memorized!

A fine kettle of kennings! Truly Bragi’s gift – or perhaps you’ve have supped deep from the draught of giants?

A lord of laughter you are, Thilo!
