    117 KB Frostbite? Anonymous 12/01/08(Mon)22:02 No.3096227  
    Imagine an eternal winter.

    Not like blizzards and stuff, but like a huge forest with creeks, no leaves, the ground covered with snow.

    Couple that with an eternal cloudy midday, and monsters. Lots of monsters.

    Mankind has been run out of their homes by monsters. Now survivors run, hoping to find other survivors.

    There is no true escape.

    The scary part is that it is always light out, so you will see a monster in the forest, but the trees are too thin to really hide.
    You see it before it sees you, and you have no choice to run. Then it hears you step on the fallen twigs, step in the snow.

    Just a basic idea for a campaign.

    Pic related: It's the massive forest that covers the world now.

    Things Needed to Be Done:
    Determine the source of the World-Massing Snow Forest
    Determine the source of a worldwide daylight
    Determine the source of the monsters
    A bitchin name

    I was thinking "Frostbite".

    What sort of creatures, specifically?

    I think the monsters should be mostly woodland creatures (wolves, bears, etc), but with some sort of... wrongness to them. Also, they should be really smart.

    Also also, there should be some other kind of monster that you DON'T see. It comes while people are sleeping, and when the rest of the group wakes up, there's no blood, there's no tracks, there's just an imprint in the snow where someone used to be.

    I was just doing that earlier, as I watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!". My conclusion is that it would be awesome.

    Have it be some big battle between Summer and Winter (Fairie Courts) The winter could be winning, but little outposts of summer could show up occasionally as meadows where crops/food grow. This could set up a bit of conflict over the little oasises of life. I read alot of Jim Butcher.

    Have it be a world that doesn't rotate, and only has one major continent. Minor continents could be out of winter and in sunlight, and other ones are superwinter.

    or one that rotates in tune with its cycle around its its sun, if it didn't rotate you'd get one long night and day

    It takes place in a ginormous cylindrical constructed world, so old that its inhabitants know not that their world is not natural. Ages ago the mirror system directing sunlight inside malfunctioned, leaving the temperature perpetually freezing.

    it is not out yet and I haven't finished a feast with crows I got distracted by this Babylon 5 torrent that finished downloading... can space stations simulate winter? They do spring all the time what with their growing food and all. Oh OP just say vorlons did it and then one day turn the game into cyberpunk and then turn it into scifi and then have them crash on another planet a desert planet with jawas.

    sounds like a dyson sphere, the book I posted was Death Gate Cycle series that world in particular had 4 mini suns in the center of a giant sphere with the populace living on the inside surface of the sphere never knowing why there were 4 suns or what was on the other side of them and they never traveled far to realize it was a giant sphere they were in, it was also almost a complete jungle world.

    No, it's not remotely similar to a Dyson sphere.

    Think of it like Twi'leki/Ryl in Star Wars.

    One half the planet is in eternal night/winter the other half is smothering hot like that of Crematoria in Riddick. The only inhabitable land is on the winter side, and the desert side is considered a "myth".

    I loved the atmosphere of it. Ice Age with robots, mechs, grav-tanks, and floating sky fortresses. Everything was designed pretty well, to boot. Shit was awesome, but the story (or lack thereof) was annoying.

    2142 inspired me to think up of a more elaborate sci-fi world with a similar perpetual winter effect, only this time it was due to Nuclear Winter rather than "lol shit freezes over".

    Ok, ok, I'll stop with the Slavs.
    So what kind of monsters are you thinking of? What technological level are the humans at?
