About the adventure
It is winter in Middle Earth, which means the Rangers of the North have returned to the Ranger Haven to spend the coldest months. Winter is typically a time of rest and recuperation, rekindling friendships, and the sharing of information. Not to mention a few extra ales for Yuletide. But just because the Rangers rest does not mean that the Shadow sleeps. Something creeps too close to the Haven, and when one wounded Ranger returns to the Haven on death's door, his brethren will go to work. --- This is a winter-themed oneshot that focuses on the often hard and unforgiving lives of the Rangers of the North in Middle Earth, utilizing The One Ring 2nd Ed. system. It will focus on camaraderie, survival, and hope in the face of hardship and danger. No prior knowledge of the TOR system nor the lore of Tolkien is necessary; an adventurous spirit is all that is required.

About me
A queer writer and storyteller, I'm passionate about creating exciting, authentic story environments for players to explore. I prefer to run mature games that often dip into dark, complex themes with a strong undercurrent of hope and humanity. I love to create inclusive, exciting, and immersive games suited for both beginners and veteran players.

Creating your character
I will have 6 pregenerated Ranger characters ready to go in Foundry VTT upon the game starting. In the first 10 or so minutes of the session we will choose characters and make adjustments as desired. If players can take a look at the character sheets the day before the session and choose 2-3 preferences, that would be helpful. If players would prefer to make your own character from scratch, please do so before the game starts and we can input them into Foundry during character assignments at game start.
This oneshot will take place several times during the winter season. Each session is the same oneshot, so players should only plan to attend one date.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
- A free Discord account is required for voice chat and additional communication. - Join my Discord channel and read the Rules and Safety channel: https://discord.gg/9sjuXwKP - A working microphone is required. A working video camera is recommended for more immersive roleplay but not required. - A Foundry link will be provided the day before the session. Foundry is free for players and works in-browser.

How Anduriel creates a safe table
This oneshot will likely deal with darker themes as is canon-typical for Tolkien. Any violence, death, etc. will not be gratuitous. Since this is a oneshot, we will spend the first 10-20 minutes of the game choosing characters and discussing any potential triggering content we wish to avoid. Please also feel free to private message me before or during the game with any questions, themes, triggers, or anything else you may want me to know. Know that if you PM me during the game, I might not see it immediately, but I will do my best to respond/adjust quickly. I also always employ the Open Door policy and will regularly check in for breaks.
