Mike Davis at Lovecraft eZine<\/a><\/em> asked me to run an adventure for their Google+ Hangout-fueled Call of Cthulhu<\/em> games, and naturally I jumped at the chance. The first game was Friday, December 13, 2013, and Mike was especially interested in something that evoked the ice and mystery of “At the Mountains of Madness.”<\/p>\n

I looked to the North Pole for an adventure that I love but which is hard to find: “Dead of Winter,” the prologue scenario in John H. Crowe’s epic campaign\u00a0Walker in the Wastes.<\/em>\u00a0It’s about as wintry as you can get, with Investigators trekking across the snow and ice, and it works great as a stand-alone adventure.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I was thrilled to get a chance to run it. I corresponded with Pagan and fellow fans about it back when it first came out in 1994. I even got a little envelope of clippings and art as handouts from Pagan House before they published the official Walker in the Wastes<\/em> Keeper’s Kit. After all that, this is my first time running “Dead of Winter.”<\/p>\n
