Called in to assist a powerful politician and shipping mogul in a case of blackmail, the investigators make their way to Norway to solve the crime. During the course of their inquiries, they stumble across a previously-unknown species of humanoid trolls in service to the Great Old One Tsathoggua, and, due to the actions of a particularly heartless NPC, find themselves embroiled in a battle for revenge initiated by the primitive beasts.
Coming complete with all of the necessary handouts and maps in a pull-out centre section, Nightmare in Norway was written by Marcus L. Rowland with cover art by Lee Gibbons, interior art and maps by Tony Ackland [1], and ran to a total of 36 pages. It was published by Games Workshop under license from Chaosium in 1985, and is currently out of print.
