    If you look up Norse Mythology, there is a theme in that mythos that only the noblest/bravest warriors will be retrieved by Valkyrie as they die in battle. They are taken to Valhalla where they party and fight and party and fight until the Gotterdamerung.

    I am pretty sure Rich is riffing off of that element of the RW mythology for that pantheon of Gods.

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!
