He talks about it being the beginning of a new series that I don't know he ever finished. The story was a Vancian conclave of magic users.

Not sure though, if these are working charts or just display/academic copies. I suspect the latter. <br /><br />The one with Vinland ? 50% real, 50% faked, at least considerable academic research has decided. If its the one I think it is, its a period chart with the western stuff added later to prove a claim to an earlier discovery of the americas. Still, its cool.Doc Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084635785043015262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-71805310490328050532010-08-28T06:17:27.432-05:002010-08-28T06:17:27.432-05:00Rod, both maps are genuine antiques as far as I kn...Rod, both maps are genuine antiques as far as I know.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-84881960355080077682010-08-27T21:24:35.815-05:002010-08-27T21:24:35.815-05:00@Doc Grognard

The resident wood elf tribes are the Madocs and the Skraelings, and they do their best to resist the incursions. <br /><br />For folks interested in such a campaign, I would point them toward Atlas Games' most excellent "Northern Crown" setting. Easily my favorite setting from the d20 era.John Matthew Staterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310914386482078369noreply@blogger.com
