Appendix[]

Background[]

  • A Snowball's Chance utilizes elements from the Al-Qadim setting, particularly those that were presented in the book Secrets of the Lamp.[1] It was debuted at Origins '94 alongside another adventure using Al-Qadim elements, Where the Teak Snakes Slither.
  • The first five and a half of the adventure's 23 pages are taken up by the "Living City Character Creation Rules" that were copy-pasted in early Living City modules.[2]
