Re: Scotland's Snow Tunnels

 Awesome pictures! I have an adventure idea that's been on the back burner for a long time. It's called The Ice Sphynx, inspired by the Roerich painting of same name. It involves a cabal of cryomancers who seek to see the whole of Hyperborea once again in the grip of the Ashen Worm's mantle of glacial ice. It's just a few pages of notes right now, but your pictures are inspiring to me -- they brought me right back to thinking about it! Here is the Roerich picture:



The adventure idea is also inspired by Fire and Ice, both the animated film and the Robert Frost poem:

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Not too dissimilar to a Land of Black Ice adventure concept I sketched in my design journal a few years ago, Jeff

Re: Scotland's Snow Tunnels

Man, Ms. Haversack and I were in Scotland in June--for the summer solstice--and they were all saying in the Highlands and Islands that it was a hundred years since a spring so late and so cold. They were still putting out fodder for the animals rather than letting them forage, which we had never seen before there. It got down into the 30s at night on Skye. We still hiked around, and I fell in three bogs. But, guys, seriously, those bogs were cold.

And I mean, really. Control weather is like a fourth-level spell. Get it together, Scotland.
