[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7739233, member: 6925649"] What happens if you are role playing in Mythic Europe at around 1100 AD and your character manages to procure a Viking Longship and sail across the Atlantic? North America was discovered by Leif Erikson after all, not Columbus. the Viking colony in Vinland didn't last, but then player characters might change that history, by sailing further south along the North American coast than the Vikings ever ventured. There was some interaction between Europe and North America in the times before Columbus. What would happen if the Player characters decide to sail down the coast of North America, past Cape Cod, up the Long Island Sound and onto the shores of Manhattan Island itself? Here is a map of what Manhattan would look like before the Europeans came: [url]https://welikia.org/m-map.php[/url] One can make a D&D map out of this. In my opinion, Manhattan looks a lot nicer without the buildings, but perhaps that's just because I spend a lot of time there being stuck in traffic. What if the PCs land their longship on the shores of Manhattan, what would they find? [/QUOTE]
