Spence Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I am preparing a mini-campaign for a D&D 5e game using Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos. The location is a Norse style settlement that is sized as a large village or small town set on a fjord or coastal area. Cold, dreary with heavy wooded inland areas (think 13th Warrior). While the adventure is nearly complete, I have all the who's, what's and why's. But I would like to have a map for the players. I have found plenty of villages and towns, but nothing that has the period style long houses (?) or halls. I've tried online and DriveThruRPG without success. I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. I'm fully willing to buy it within reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallet Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Not full maps, but some of the best sketches I could find of Hedeby (Haithabu) one of the largest known viking towns.

L. Marcus Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 For a smaller town, there's Sigtuna. It was a planned town, and about the turn of the first millennium it probably had a couple of thousand inhabitants. Halfway down the linked page there's a picture of a reconstruction of the city plan -- big harbor; no fortifications; each plot on the main street 25 feet by 60+ feet, with several small houses on the plots, probably timber-built.

Lord Liaden Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 The Campaign Classics book Vikings (for Hero 4E and Rolemaster) has an overhead perspective of a small Viking town with a simple map key. tkdguy and Lawnmower Boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, thank you. I completely forgot about those books. I may have a copy at home. If not I'll have to check the e-stores and see if I can find them.

Lord Liaden Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 The book does have a few other maps of period structures that might be useful, as well as some appropriate artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
