Rolling with Advantage, featuring Hyperborea!

Our friends at Rolling with Advantage are back with a new Hyperborea campaign! Love how it starts off with Roman soldier in Britain who finds himself in a strange, mythical land...

Re: Rolling with Advantage, featuring Hyperborea!

Agreed, I like that approach and have already been using something like that in my campaign. I have Ley lines connecting locations across Hyperborea, where Mystical Energies Coalesce and at random times connect and open portals between different Worlds/Times/Locations, allowing people to cross between...Also working on a Spell/Weird Science research to create portals via spell/tech in specific locations.

Also, I've pulled in the Tower of the Mammoth (Written by Thulsa and Greg Lynch (adapted and developed to AS&SH by Caveman)), On one of the floors I'll have a portal room that allows travel to different locations on Hyperborea, and perhaps other times/places. 

Excerpt From my Campain >>>“My father was out Ranging, following rumors of strange happenings some 300 miles west of Ragnarrheim in New Vinland, an area not far from where we stand now. As he was searching along the edge of the Glacial mountains, he saw strange lights in a grove. As he entered, he saw what looked like a shimmering Rainbow Doorway into a different land. A land filled with Sand and a bright yellow sun. As he watched, a horse and rider came over a dune toward the doorway riding hard. Not watching where they were going but looking back. As the rider approached the doorway, from behind the dune's crest a group of riders wearing Roman-styled armor and wielding bows emerged and let fly with a swarm of arrows. Hitting the first rider several times.” “The injured rider plunged through the doorway into the deep snow losing control and coming to a heap a dozen yards into the new realm, to the amazement of both my father and the riders following. Just as quickly as the doorway appeared, it started to shimmer and it was blinking out of existence, leaving behind a rider, now splayed in the deep snow, and a critically wounded horse. "
