Overall a solid toolkit for running Arctic adventures.

Great to see a supplement supporting play in a different environment from what we typically play in!
Including the real world far north endless night thing was such a great idea and fits perfectly with Shadowdark!
I liked all the stuff in Outdoor Travels but it left me wishing for a bit more mechanically, like rules for Frostbite would have been so cool.
Nice mix of naturalistic and fantasy monsters for just a single page.
The Tether weapon tag opens up some cool options.
I have to admit Frosbite was a condition for a while, but since there are no conditions in Shadowdark, I removed and favored a direct approach with cold and blizzard.
I might rethink this in the future. Thanks for your comment!
As someone who likes overland travel and natural hazards, this is *chef's kiss*.
My one criticism is on the blizzard weather condition. I would like it to be clearer if blizzards force the con check (or not) even if you are wearing a snowsuit. That was one part that felt subtle enough to miss, and would be worth highlighting.
Otherwise, this is a great supplement with a little bit of everything. It perfectly fits the mechanical load of shadowdark, and every part of this feels inspired. I was excited to read from one page to the next.
Fantastic work!
Thanks for the input and advice, I really appreciate!
It is intended that anybody stuck into a blizzard must roll the CON check, even when wearing a snowsuit. I will clarify the rules once the jam is over.
Again, thanks a lot for your comments :D
I usually follow the "rulings over rules" philosophy for things like this. I leave a lot of particulars vague in my own work so that GMs don't feel tied to a specific way of doing things.
I like the weather tables with the effects you listed. Makes overland travel almost a monster to fight in it of itself!
Thanks! It was exactly my intention!
I want a Giant Penguin Mount!
Don't we all? ;)
Perfect supplement for my Frostmire setting! Well done. I needed rules for cold weather.
Ooouh! I will go read that asap
