Unboxing the end of the world


It was a splendid surprise to get a parcel containing the Other Worlds edition of Heart of Ice. It's a gorgeous book, really a work of art. There are links to the black-&-white paperbacks below, but they're not a patch on this deluxe hardcover. Get hold of a copy if you can.

As well as the book itself, the slipcase contains a Compass Society ID card, bookmarks that also work as character sheets, stat block cards for all the pregen characters, and a set of scratch maps. When you come across a symbol in the book, you take the Compass Society card (or a coin from the pre-scad era) and scratch off the corresponding area, revealing part of the map. So as you explore the world, the map is uncovered.
