Adventure Calendar 10: Snowmen

Adventure Calendar
10: Snowmen

Snowmen: You may not need an explanation here but the History section adds some interest: “Michelangelo was commissioned by Piero de’ Medici to make a snowman in 1494.”

Really a winter thing rather than a Christmas thing, but due to the overlap in the northern hemisphere here we are.

Do you want to build a snowman?

Snowmen, and indeed snow sculptures, come to life in the likes of Frosty The Snowman by magic hat, The Snowman by mysterious magic, and Frozen by a cold-controlling elementalist.

They can be friends or foes, sometimes both in the same story, and there are some horror examples as well as fantasy - inevitable note that I had ice sculpture monsters in my Doctor Who game before the show did it.


Regular non-animated snowmen can also factor in as art, or as a way to make it look like you have more troops than you really do, although this can be an issue if anyone looks too closely...
