Ok I understand. I just get frustrated with GURPS always striving to be generic. Just because something has a specific name like Odin or Tyr does not mean the name can’t be changed. Plus being able to use real world maps is extremely useful especially in beer and pretzel style games. Vampire the Masquerade used real world locations and it was easy to set up adventures quickly without having to look over a bunch of maps that I have not seen before. Anyway, if there was a vote on whether to keep the adventure Nordic or change it to be generic I would vote keep it Nordic.

One question I have is why there are hobgoblins in the description. Wouldn’t trolls be more appropriate for a Nordic setting? Besides there are lesser trolls that are sort of like hobgoblins in the DF3 supplement.
