There's Something in the Ice
In the far reaches of the arctic north, your expedition team has stumbled upon something horrible and ancient, locked away for centuries or millennia deep beneath the glaciers. There's something in the ice. A simple 2d6 game detailing an ill-fated expedition of arctic travellers, perfect for creating stories in the vein of The Thing. Includes roles for the party, character sheets, hastily scrawled accounts of what's happened, all in a corpo-bureaucratic package. Written for the WSACJam. Edited by Jared Sinclair, with additional writing by Nickolas Masyk. Cover art by Amanda Franck.
