I included it when I was doing posts about Hyperborean demographics:

This bloody winter has lasted forever and it's got me thinking about the 13-year Hyperborean cycle. The long winters never sat well with me. How could the plants and animals adapt to such a huge deviation from Earth’s climate and season? It just extends my suspension of disbelief past the breaking point.

So I've decided to implement sort of time-warp – where Hyperborea exists inside a temporal anomaly which operates at about 29× “normal” time.

I made a post on the subject; here's the link: Hyperborean Time-Warp

Anyone else doing something similar in their campaign?

Yeah; but then I can't bring it on the table during play!

I've got a playlist of instrumental sludge metal and stoner rock that I usually play quietly in the background. It's enough to provide some white noise, without intruding too much.

My favourites are from Colour Haze, Dead Branches, Glowsun, Goddess, Shooting Guns, Thorun, YAWN, and (especially) Tuber.

Peril on the Purple Planet is an excellent mini-campaign from Goodman Games. I got the boxed set as part of the Kickstarter, plus all the add-on modules (either in print or pdf).

I could run it pretty much as-is, as a distant world accessed via a portal or magical mishap. However, I think that it could also be a good fit for Underborea.

For my Underborea, the entire plateau described in Purple Planet could instead be a vast subterranean cavern, illuminated dimly by the phosphorescent purple fungus that grows upon the cavern walls and ceiling. The plateau itself is about 300 miles by 200 miles, so it fits nicely beneath the Spiral Mountain Array.

I've posted some conversion notes and additional thoughts on my gameblog.

The characters in my Astonishing ACKS campaign have gotten into a spot of trouble... After a failed assault upon Nanansa in the pyramid sublevel, they were captured as surgical test subjects by the Snake-Men. Last session they managed to escape from their captors, but are marooned on Enmei without gear or ship - and the surviving Monastery forces are still on their trail.

Does anyone have suggestions on how they can escape from the island? The pirate junk has already been 'junked' (shipwrecked on a reef). I'll probably suggest the small boats from the pirate outpost to the PCs. They didn't see the Teleporter beneath the Temple; I might drop it as an out-of-character hint, but that seems really heavy-handed.

(Hmm; one of the characters is a Sorcerer-Priest of Xathoqqua... Perhaps he'll have a "Divine Vision"...)

I'm swiping (the most excellent) Fellchapel and the Kybernetes in my Astonishing ACKS home campaign.

I posted today about the realm of Brigands Bay, mentioning your background info: Hyperborean Demographics - Brigand's Bay.

The Sea-Wolf's Daughter might make an appearance too...

Hi all. I've started a series of posts on my Mutants & Magic gameblog discussing the demographics of Hyperborea, using the guidelines from Adventurer, Conqueror, King (ACKS).

ACKS has rules for demographics and economics of fantasy RPG realms. They stray into extremely wonkish territory, but I figured folks here may be interested nonetheless.

So far I've done two posts, the first discussing baseline assumptions and general implications:

• Astonishing ACKS: Hyperborean Demographics - Introduction

• Astonishing ACKS: Hyperborean Demographics - Khromarium

Looks dumb.

But, maybe, like good dumb?

According to Smith's stories, Uzuldaroum became the capital of Hyperborea after the populace left Khromarium.

Anyone use this city in their campaign? Smith placed it about a day from Khromarium, but I'm thinking of putting the ruins in Brigand's Bay and potentially tying it to the Hyperborean's brief flirtation with Druidism prior to the Green Death.
