About the adventure

Frost, an enemy that kills men just as quick as revenge. Ice, a form of terror that each man will become without help. Isolation, a horror that noone can save you from no matter how far away. Terror, a threat in even the strongest unity. Gods cannot save you from yourself. We will be delving deep into the glaciers of forgotten time. You might have considered walking into the sleet. You might have considered the snow to be fun snowmen and reindeer games, but this sport is deadly. This will be the version you meant to play, but not the version you expected to change you. Most people who run this module buy an online book and expect to be a DM. Don't be fooled by a handy-cam version of the great movie. The Platinum Version contains the official sound effects of D&D including Matt Mercer. We use a foley artist for our quality sound. We will be including additional maps. We will be including additional advanced lighting effects and animations. We will be using video effects and POV shots. We will be using expanded material by legitimate cutting edge-artists. This game is inspired by isolationist horror themes like Alien, Jaws, Evil Dead, and THING. If you are going to put money down, get 4K value for the experience.

About me

Check out my full catalog - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZdHgoCrzHh5XP60u1C34U2oaB15CnCP/edit?pli=1 See something you like? Let's negotiate some rates! I started mastering because noone in my area of my military base would run at that time in '99. I invited five people, thought I would get two... but they told two friends who told two friends...and eleven (+a date!) showed up to my first Vampire DarkAges in '99 I am a GM for D&D and Exalted on here. I prefer newbies to "experienced RPG players" because the new people tend to bring less preconceptions and their lack of the GM secrets or overarching world allows me to enjoy their expressions of surprise and elation when battling baddies and revealing larger plots. I tend to run 70% Roleplaying/30% Combat (I hate combat, but it has its place) I have enjoyed many games over the years besides the ones already listed including Rolemaster (my intro to gaming with dice), Palladium, "Serenity/Firefly the LARP" run in Houston, OWOD Larping in (Akron OH, Houston TX, Darmstadt Germany), the Exalted LARP I ran at Rice University, Witch Girls and the amazing Mastermaze tournaments held at Rice University, a Rockband/StarWars/Amber game, the massive Tower of Munchkin tournament I ran at Texas A&M, Chrononauts and many others. I have also assisted in running the gaming section of Conflagration in 2013. I also recently started DMing D&D 5E within the last 6 or 7 years. I love gaming and my work always over-assumes the players are awesome, because...well, they usually are. I understand that at 15 per game, 5 dollars an hour sounds pricey, I really do. Amusement parks are 60 and you are there less than 12 hours. Movies are 20 a person and you are there less than 4 hours. You are paying for me to put all the tokens and sounds and movements and descriptions into a cool game with journals and handouts (and sometimes even a physical trinket or two) and all of that time comes together at the end for a very cheap price. Do you want a guy who bought a pre-made module to run you a so-so phone-cam level game for cheap? You get what you pay for. Or do you want me to give you the bells and whistles and upgrades and accessories to make your story an interactive option with additional content and changes to better that game across the storyline? You get what you pay for. I aim to give you Robert Rodriguez level entertainment, "cheaper-than-you should-pay" costs for "getting-what-you-pay-for" entertainment. In the world of making games. I aim for "cheap" to get you in the door and "exciting" to keep you there.

I have been playing with Archie for several years. Scion, DnD, Aliens, Star Wars, Vampire, . He is a dedicated DM that loves to immerse the players in the story and setting. He is open to surprising situations and has worked to make his games inclusive. As he became comfortable with 5e, he was more open to the party's antics and going off-book. We will sometimes make decisions that make his brain hurt, and those are some of the best sessions. He is open to interesting ideas and solutions. I accidentally summoned an elder god. Tiamat was defeated by bags of Giant "members." I failed a deception check while trying to trick a dragon into eating a meatloaf stuffed man-sacrifice. He doesn't have the most patience for rules lawyers or mini-maxers, but he has improved over the years. He is really good helping new players. He always tries to make sure that the group creates the best story as a whole. He's not a combat monkey and really enjoys leading character stories and adventures. He has led pre-written modules as well as his own creations. His Scion games are a trip through all forms of mythology. Just never run through a Manse in Exalted.

Very good GM. Might make an occasional crack about killing the party, but that would truly be as devastating to him as the rest of the group. Loves teaching new people the game, and for him that moment of excitement when the player finally "gets" something or has their first kill is just as much of a thrill as it is for the player involved.

I learned how to play Exalted with Archie. He’s a great story teller and one to be patient with someone who is just starting to learn. He’s a personable GM and wants to make sure everyone has fun!

Morgan has worked for me in the past to run many games, ranging in size from small intimate gatherings to events that host dozens simultaneously. Morgan's exuberance is infectious, and his creative thinking always puts fresh new spins on well-worn gaming paths. I have gotten many messages from satisfied customers who have told me that Morgan's events were the ones they enjoyed the most. I would recommend him for any RPG system, setting, or group.

This GM has years of experience on several different platforms and systems of roleplay. I often see him in discord answering questions for new players and veterans alike. He is exceptional at his craft and always seeks to better himself. He is always open to feedback and is tactful towards others. He opts for using Foundry VTT and D&D Beyond which, when utilized together make a powerful and positive gaming experience. I think, that any player who finds themselves fortunate enough to have Archie as a GM, will have an amazing gaming experience.
