MarrowStone Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Cool stuff. I like the inclusion of a solar storm and eclipse on top of a 3 year winter. It makes it feel more like The Long Dark's premise. 500+ years later the viking age WAS actually put to an end partly because of a mini ice age making further colonization of Greenland and the Americas difficult; however, a lot of other factors play in like diminishing trade and trouble with the natives.

The book 'True North' by Gavin Francis might also be of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
