Good supplement for Castles and Keeps?

[mattcolville]

I tried searching the product database for D20 fantasy products with castle in the name, but it claimed there were none.

What I'm really looking for is a sourcebooks with lots of castles and keeps in it. Not something on how to build them. Rules on how to build them is fine, as long as there are lots and lots of castles and keeps inside. Any help would be appreciated. And result in a sale for some lucky publisher!

Damn, I was afriad of this. I guess if I want a book of castles and keeps, I need to publish it myself!

OK, so how about just any products you've used that have A really good castle or keep layout? I'm specifically looking for a small keep right now, but I'll need more later.

Castles of Orbaal

Dunir Keep

Selvos Castle

Olokand Castle

Karveth Castle

Glenoth Keep

If you can find a copy of Castles of Harn I strongly recomend it as well, unfortunately it is current OOP so you will have to check eBay etc.

The Stronghold Builder's Guide from WotC seems like an obvious choice.

Good luck,

Have you tried Seven Strongholds? I don't know who makes it, but you could look it up in the review guide. There's also Stronghold Builders Guidebook from WotC. It may be too construction-y for your tastes. If you look through the reviews, I'm sure you could find a few more.

Palladium's guide to Castles, Arms, and Armor is pretty nice.

You might also want to check out used bookstores for books about such things, if all you are looking for are plans.

That would be Atlas, under the Penumbra line, and I heartily second the recommendation. Wonder why I didn't think of it before.....

The 2e book "Castle Sites" has a bunch of castle maps and descriptions.

The 2e Castle Guide also has 3 maps of castles (a small, medium, and large one).

Dragon Magazine had a couple castle maps back in the day (they'd be in the CD-ROM).

Does anyone know if Darkfuries has released a pdf with castle maps?

Wow, those maps are stunning. I suddenly have the urge to use HARN maps for my campaign setting. Wow. Beautiful.

I picked up Castles & Keeps (the HTML download thing) and it's also very, very good. Though the maps are difficult to print.

I have that. It's great, but it doesn't really have any castles or keeps in it. Well, it has one keep, and I was going to use that before I found the Darkfuries thingy, which is much better for standard stuff.
