Hello everyone,

I thought I'd share my attempt at a Map of Rydychan County I made for our current campaign. Maybe one of you will find it useful.

I used the new naming scheme, but our map deviates a bit from current canon material: There are a few hundreds less in the county (35 instead of 37), the iron age fort of Uffington is a castle in our game, and I used High Wycombe (Milltown) as the base of one of the ursupers mentioned in the GPC.

Next on my list is naming the hundreds (at least those in the west).

Cheers!
Fred

I'd like to have one of the moderators move this to the House Rules and Variants section
but this is pretty cool
Do you have the Official Names of the hundreds here?
And likely of other sites, like the abbeys, etc.

Yes and no: I did research some of the names, but I also took some liberties with the borders in eastern Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire because I did not want to fiddle with the small hundreds there. I don't have any documentation about local sites, as I usually bypass this step and go straight from historical research to creativity and imagination.

I'm attaching my latest "research map" just in case, and will take better notes next time :)

This is great, thanks!

I can't seem to find the map that the original poster mentioned. Where is it?

I would be very interested as well. Something that confuses me is the mention of Dorchester in Rydychan. I know there are several cities and castles that share names, but the map in the GPC doesn't have the city on it and from what I can tell from the description, it seems like it is the biggest and most well fortified city in the county.

I think it was posted as an attachment and possibly didn't make it through all the forum moves? Here, let me repost it (credit should go to rcvan).

Alas, this map doesn't help you much. Why are you not using the map in GPC p. 96, right under the description of Dorchester? Note that Dorchester is marked by an ABBEY sign (between Oxford and Wallingford), not by a town sign.

That would explain it, I was completely skipping over the abbey in my single-minded determination of finding a town or a city.
