I am aware of Mythic Iceland, I've been waiting for the 2nd ed to be released. Sounds like it would be quite useful particularly in combination with Crusaders of the Amber Coast.



A trip to Norway is high on my list of future places to visit. I have friends in Denmark, so the bulk of this trip was seeing that country.

There's been some stuff for Scandinavia, and some stuff for Russia, but I think something that's seriously missing in the RPG world is a good setting book for central-eastern Europe; the Slavic countries west of Russia.

True, Pundit. The setting of the computer game Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Bohemia 1403) would make a nice sourcebook. Accurate or not I don't pretend to know, but it's certainly detailed enough for a real rpg.

The interest to me in the region and period (after more careful examination probably best represented 1000-1200AD) is the relatively peaceful co-existence of Christians and pagans along with substantial trade between Scandinavia and the coastal nations on the Baltic coast (modern Germany, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and Finland). You also have the meeting between the Eastern and Western "Roman" empires (Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire) with these pagan kingdoms squeezed in between. Throw in some mythological critters, a little magic and it sounds like a good time.

It all starts to fall apart in the late 1100s as the Christian kingdoms start to go after their pagan neighbors and the Pope officially calls for the Northern crusades in 1195 which continue for 2 centuries.

If I ever did a regional sourcebook for L&D/Albion that wasn't set in England/Albion, it would almost certainly be in the Polish Commonwealth/Hungary/Wallachia.

Do it!! I'd love to see an Eastern European fantasy setting.

Closest I can think of are The Dragon And The Bear for Ars Magica 4E and Against The Dark for Ars Magica 5E. Obviously they're heavy with Ars setting material, but they could be mined as a starting point.

It might happen, eventually. I don't know if it would be as popular as Medieval-Authentic Fantasy England was, though.
