Slaine: Broceliande???

[Tal]

Can anyone tell me if there is any more information(text or a map) regarding Broceliande available in either the published adventures or in the comic itself? I have the main RQ slaine book, Tir nan og and the tribe books but not the d20 adventures. I also have the book of invasions, warior's dawn and slaine the king graphic novels.
I am looking to set a campaign in and around the area but want ot make sure I'm consistant with what is already out there. So far there isn't much in what I have which can be a good thing.

Are there any stories set in Broceliande in the comic? If so can you tell me what ones?

For those in the know will the Baileoisin chronicles book have any information or maps of the area in it?

I should note that I am aware of the actual/historic forest and plan on using it as a spring board for some adventure ideas.

Paimpont forest, also known as Brocéliande.....

Might be the place situated where south Britain and North France is today.

The Forest, itself is mainly concerned with Arthurian Legend. Known to be the place where Merlin was imprisoned in a tree.

I beleive Slaine spent his time here during the events taken from the Graphic Novel 'Slaine and the Treasures OF Britain' If he didn't spend all or most of time here during most of his life. He did travel all over the British Isles and most of Northern Europe.

Carnac, in or near Brittany. This name rings a bell. As you may find this in many of the source books and perhaps in the graphic novel 'Slaine Warriors Dawn'.

As for a map of the area, I think the closest you will find is the one provided in 'Slaine the Horned God'. Not that it is a very detailed map. Though it is a map of that area all the same.

Standing Stone,
Thanks. I had already visited the wiki-pedia and am aware of the Arthurian legends surounding it(I have a translation of the Chretien de Troyes stories). I was going to build off of those legends for adventure seeds, as well as the standing stones and sacred springs, other mystical places and strange things said to be in the forest. My take for my campaign is that it is a very magical, strange and dangerous place that never stays the same and the forest is larger than it would seem from the exterior. I want a very otherworld feel to it. El creatures and other strange things abound with numerous junction to the el worlds within the interior. Big enough to have a whole campaign in and around it. I just want to know where the boundary(have an idea of where the western boundary is but not where the eastern and northern boundaries are) is considered in the canon of slaine lore as well as if there was anything else published that would be spring boards for adventures(in comic or in the d20 adventures). I plan to play up the seed in RQ Slaine about the King and flower Queen of the forest as well as the Broceliande witches in the Fir tribe book. I plan on the adventures to start in Baileoisin(provided I can place it near the forest) and eventually get drawn into the adventures in the forest.
Thanks for the comic reference I'll have to track down 'Slaine and the treasures of britian'.

You said something about not having any of the now old Slaine D20 adventure books.

I think they may all still be able get all of them from Ebay. I know they are atleast still selling 'Slaine' Way of the Horned God'

Perhaps it's still possible to get the others.

Thanks,
No I don't have any of the moonsow or horned god adventures. Is there anything in them that would interest me? Maps, anything on society, the forest, new creatures etc..? Basically all I know about them is that they are adventures for D20. Are they worth it to convert over to RQ?

 

[Standing-Stone]

That really depends on what you think is worth converting to RQ......

There bits and pievces I thought were really good.


There was someplace decribed in either one of the books 'Way of the Horned God' and 'Ragnarok' which I thought as very different and perhaps worth repeating.

I dig them out and look those books over in a little while, and write down a overview.

Standing stone,
Thanks, I look forward to see it. Really looking for things like places that could be used, maps, things that could be reused. Are they strict adventures or are they adventure/sourcebooks?
