Is there any info about Ludendorf?

Post by rpgcasey »

The wiki doesn't have much.

If nothing exists, what did you as a dm do with it?

I decided to make a map of Ludendorf.

Here it is. File is too big to upload in post: https://imgur.com/a/ZN1JxK2

It misses the train station for the railways I put in my Lamordia and it is a bit small, but it us very nice.

There is not. Mistmaster uses a version of Ravenloft fairly modified from canon.

As for information sources, I would check the references listed in the Mistipedia entry. Gaz II will probably one of your best references (although there's not much there to indicate a physical description.) The biggest thing I see missing from your map are the old village walls, which "seal off the bulk of Ludendorf from the low-lying countryside to the east" (Gaz II p. 79). The harbor is said to lie outside of these walls. The Breaking Waves Inn also exists outside of these walls in the harbor district.

Other things:

The map of Lamordia seems to indicate Wauntmaa Road leads out of the northeast.

There is evidence of parts of the town having been consumed by fire at some point and been rebuilt.

The statehouse has a clock built into it.

Humanwreck posted a map for Ludendorf in the maps update thread if you wanted to see an alternate take. http://www.fraternityofshadows.com/foru ... rf#p242667

No there isn't, it was a thing first introduced in QtR 21 by NeoTiamat and I adopted it; I have not a map done yet.

I fixed Ludendorf based on your comments. This is what I have, so far.

There are also the 5th edition gazetteers by Oliver Clegg that can been found at the DMs Guild or Drive Through RPG
Even if you don't play 5th edition it has info on Lamordia and maps and info on it's towns
