About the adventure

Auril the Frostmaiden has cast her curse over the land, and isolation, paranoia, and ancient secrets gnaw at the edges of survival. ❄️ Endure the Frozen North: Explore ten desperate towns, deadly tundra, and buried horrors beneath the ice. Every decision matters when the cold is closing in. ❄️ Secrets Beneath the Snow: What lies beneath the glaciers isn’t just ice—it’s ancient, alien, and ready to awaken. ❄️ For Players Who Like Survival and Suspicion: Low warmth, high stakes. Perfect for groups that enjoy mystery, horror, and moral choices under pressure.

About me

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.
