Walker in the Wastes - Keepers only

You've reached the Walker in the Wastes resource site. Since this is intended mainly as

a resource collection, I'll make it quick and just index the files that are lying around

here.

Newer documents will be added on top, so that old hands can find what they're looking

for faster.

If you're a player and not the Keeper, I'm sure your Keeper would think that this

is a good time to go browse somewhere else.

By the way, some interesting news. I think I've finally located someone who can

convert Blair's diary to PDF. Hopefully I'll be able to translate it in the next couple of

weeks.

NEW! Dead of

Winter Maps 181kb

Two high-resolution images detailing alternative maps for Dead of

Winter, created and submitted by Boris Lohmann. The zip file

includes a detailed explanation of the ship drift route and a text file

explaining the nomenclature.

Expedition

Information:

The Artic 614kb

for your players before they get to the prologue. Created and

submitted by Morten Kjeldseth Pettersen.

Exploration of

the Artic

Regions 604kb

exploration of the artic regions, Lord Franklin, the Inuit and what

not, created and submitted by Morten Kjeldseth Pettersen.

Reinhold Blair's

diary 39kb A document created collaboratively on the Walker in the Wastes

mailing list intended to be used as Reinhold Blair's diary. It's a

zipped RTF file, and here are the fonts for it.

Right now it contains segments by Ricardo Christe and Ricardo J.

Méndez, and submissions are welcome. I'd like to distribute it as a

PDF file. If anyone has a way to create them, please let me know.

Ritual of

Knowledge 640kb A loopable mix of two of the sounds (DrumSong and Kwakiutl) that

I plan to pass as the Ritual of Knowledge. It's mainly the Shaman

repeating Kwakiutl - where Sila is chanted out loud several times -

mixed with an ocassional drum-and-song retort from the choir.

This version is in mono, but let me know if you wish to have the

stereo version and I'll send it over.

Carter MacBane and Alfred Barrow, but this time including their

portraits from the sourcebook.

Kwakiutl.zip 370kb

Pettersen. You can clearly hear Sila called out several times.

Chapter 5 NPC

graph 50kb A diagram of the NPCs and main points of chapter 5.

Anchorage 25kb More information from Morten Kjeldseth Pettersen, this time on

Anchorage from an exchange with William F. Hostman. Quite an

enlightening read.

Misc. documents

on the artic 480kb Several documents on the artic on RTF format provided by Morten

Kjeldseth Pettersen. I've edited them somewhat to remove references

Bridgeman's books beyond what's on the sourcebook? Here's an RTF

document with information on the Sumerian god Enlil that you can

give to your players. It also contains some confusing and misleading

hints that will be helpful in driving your investigators crazy. It is

Inuit ritual song 1.3MB

This is a loopable WAV file that you can use for a song in an Inuit

ritual. It was originally taken from the album Songs of the Inuit II:

Drum Dance Songs in Inuvik, where it appeared as song #13

(Ungaliq - North Wind). Colonel Panic did a lot of work on it,

mixing it up and patching diffferent sounds so now it has that special

not quite fitting sound you would expect on a weird ritual. He also

made some changes so that it loops well, and the end result is a chant

that after five minutes will have your players on their toes and ready

to bolt (not to mention with a serious headache).

You can visit the Walker in the Wastes chat page, where we discuss the campaign in

general, and can also check out the Walker in the Wastes mailing list, where you can

check the list archives and subscribe to the list.
