[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 5153902, member: 17106"] Sounds like a fun game. I'd do it *in spite* of the pregens, which IMO are unnecessrary extra work for a DM and don't really help the game. UA has arctic race variant you might look at (esp for kobolds/goblins as enemies). When I think of cold, I think of Cania and some of the fun baatezu that can be found there; always interesting when those critters make it onto the material plane. Beyond the cold theme, I would consider encounters with displaced and desparate warm-weather creatures. Perhaps the players try to aid a cursed cold one (Sandstorm) and it attacks them when they warm it up. Conflict between white and silver dragons is great; I find white dragons to be one of the more evocative and usable dragons (because they aren't as unreachable in power as the others). I'd also highly recommend elemental weirds (I believe there are two in Frostburn) as recurring NPCs, given the exploration/history theme. Depending on whether you've decided the source of eternal winter, the Xixecal (epic) is a logical and fun choice, as are some of the elder evils. [/QUOTE]
