Hey,
I am wondering if anyone has considered combining the Lonely Coast campaign setting (Raging Swan) with the Lost Lands campaign setting (Frog God). These are my two favourite publishers and my two favourite pathfinder campaign settings, and they have a very similar, old school, feel.
Has anyone else done this? Has anyone else thought of doing this?
I have the poster-sized maps of the gulf of Akados and the Borderlands provinces on order and I am thinking once they get here I will find a spot to build out the Lonely Coast, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else that did this and where they put things and how they fit into the larger world.
It shouldn't be difficult to find the space given how huge the Lost Lands are and how small the Lonely Coast is, making it fit nicely might be another issue altogether.

I haven't put in the work yet but I have always had this as a default consideration for the Lonely Coast/Lost Lands. To me the Lonely Coast has a very early to mid-80's AD&D feel, while the LL going back a little further. I would personally love to see a RS/FGG cross-over product.
My intention was to use the Lonely Coast as as fill-in part of more civilized, yet still remote parts of the Lost Lands. Sort of good close up look at specific Borderlands villages and hamlets in somewhat safer territories. Excellent for low-level play, some intrigue, encroaching evil and a less metropolitan base for forays into more dangerous and high level sites.
I think you are on to something and I don't think it would be too hard to pull off. I wish I had more to offer atm, but I haven't run PF/AD&D in awhile. When I do it will be a LC/LL combo as both of them fill different aspects of that old school feel.
Thanks for the response! I totally agree about the feel of the two products.
So funnily enough my map of the gulf of Akados just came in, and... there is a lonely coast on the map! It's just north of Glavir, part of Legion's Bay.
I wonder if that was intentional or accidental. I mean, I have trouble imagining that the Frogs didn't know about Raging Swan's setting. Maybe it is from an earlier product.
There is literally nothing else marked there, just a bunch of green hexes so it could really fit.
The only trick is that you'd need to add some forest there, as right now it's barren, and the rivers, but it would totally fit in that blank spot there... I mean the blank spot is right next to some forest and a river... so not hard to extend that at all.
Just north of the Forest Kingdoms is a Lonely Coast Road of sorts. There's about 200 miles of kingdom which is just green. The Lonely Coast towns are so tiny, you could get away with just turning it on it's side. Now it runs, north to south...
