Ya know, I need to give you guys a big 'thank you'.
For what, you might ask. For making this game better.
How? You might then ask. Well the answer is this:
At first, meaning when I first created the "module", the cause of the cold was not something that the pc's could deal with. I was sort of a 'you against the environment' type thing. Now I've run this game before and I didn't catch it the first time, but I did this time: That's not really what DND is about. It's about extraodrinary people doing extraordinary things.
This caused me to re-evaluate the causes of the cold and a few other things and I came up with a MUCH better and more fun idea that the PC's CAN deal with, if they can figure out what it is and HOW to deal with it. Less "it's out of your control" and more of "you can control it if you know how".
This, in turn, got me enthused about the game and I am feverishly re-writing as we speak, trying to get stuff in place before the pcs get there.
So, Thanks. Thanks for mking the game better and stoking the fires of imagination.
I hope you guys will like the 'new and improved' game as much as I am so far...
