The Paradox Beta testing page is now accepting applications from those interested in beta testing Valhalla Chronicles (thanks AVault), an upcoming adventure game "set in an undefined mythological/historical version of the Viking world somewhere around the years 800-1000. The game will unravel an epic story of a time of Vikings, discovery, adventures, raging wars and mythology." (This is not to be confused with Halls of Valhalla, the RUNE Expansion which is decidedly not an RPG.) Sign-ups for the beta are being accepted through the end of July. Here's a bit more on the game, since this is the first we've mentioned it:

Valhalla Chronicles will not only take you to Miklagård (Constantinople) and Vinland (North America) but also to Valhalla, Svartalfheim, Hel and Muspelheim. As one of four heroes you must interact with humans and gods and choose your allies with caution in order to complete your mission. You will meet the powerful and short fused Thor; god of thunder, the wise Odin; god of magic and wisdom and the vile and deceitful Loke, half god and half-giant.

Four heroes, four faiths, four adventures - prepare for a journey deep into a dangerous world you have never experienced before and meet the challenges of Valhalla Chronicles.
