The Ice thing

The Ice Thing [OSR Sci-Fi / Science Fantasy Map]

The inspiration for this map I got from the movie The Thing (kinda obvious, I guess 🙂 ), but it was actually meant for a science fantasy RPG, Astraterra, that I play with my kids.

The map was based on the following events in our adventure:

• A renowned archaeologist has discovered a strange creature frozen in ice.  They have taken the frozen creature into a shed, and the rest of the expedition is celebrating the discovery in the cabin.
• The celebrations are interrupted as someone barges into the cabin and shouts that the creature is gone.
• Soon, they notice a hole that has melted or been buried in the ice, extending even deeper from the excavation site.
• Time to explore where the icy tunnel leads…
• The creature manages to start the engines of the ship, and even if it’s defeated, the ship will take off with the PCs on board. Where the ship’s autopilot will take them remains to be seen.
