About the adventure
Welcome to the Glacial Wilds of North Omura. A cold and bitter land where only the sturdiest of all survive. With constant blizzards and cold snaps that come blasting off the Seven Brothers Peaks, it leaves the region locked in a permanent snowscape. Many hardy tribes roam the landscape searching for whatever prey they can catch, and fighting against the naturally resilient beasts of the land, whether predator or prey, is not for the faint of heart. In the Capital of Kalmarsa, a map has been found hidden away in their archives depicting an ancient artifact capable of controlling the cold. Against the Kings wishes, Prince Skadi has secretly gathered a small group of adventurers, along with his long time friend Fidri, to mount an excursion into the Seven Brothers to find this artifact and claim it in the name of the King. The Lich, once the prince but now having claimed the artifact has succumbed to it's influence, now seeks to rebuild his helm, his lich phylactery that was shattered 1000 years ago. As the party now seeks to cut off allies that the Lich wishes to add to his growing army and forces. This campaign is a personal retelling of the Lich King story from Warcraft, but you do not need to be familiar with that story to enjoy this campaign. There will also be strong Viking and Skyrim style themes used.

About me
Hello, My name is Russell, aka DM Snugglybeast. I have always had a facination for a good story full of adventure. I have always loved the adventure, magic, exploration and discovery, and all things the imagination can create. I grew up reading the books of the Forgotten Realms, finding exhilaration in battle and survival from the hero drow Drizzt, and experiencing all the awe that was the Dragonlance Chronicles and everyone's favorite anti-hero mage Raistlin Majere. I read of the adventures of Han and Luke in what is now Legends lore in the aftermath of Episode 6, the trials and struggles of Luke trying to start a new Jedi Academy and Han still running from his previous life of crime, and the many other adventures the crew had. These were the things I grew to love and the adventures I seek to provide my players. A brand new adventure, separate from the world around us, but all too real in our imaginations with characters that are brought to life by our own creativity and humor, and the pieces of ourselves that we give to them. Adventures full of danger, humor and the chaos that frequently ensues in these adventures. I have always found collaborative games much more fun than the competitive counterparts, and I have loved RPG's for a long as I can remember. I remember in 6th grade running a 1st gen Pokémon D&D style game for my friends at recess. Which is why when I decided to start a game night with my friends I chose D&D. I have been playing RPG's for over 20 years in various forms, and DMing D&D specifically for the past 6 years. I started with 1, which quickly became 3, and now run games full time as my primary job. I run both online and in person games for both sci-fi and Fantasy genera's. I have a Bachelor's of Arts in Music and have been in multiple local plays. I love Roleplaying and tend to favor it more in my campaigns. I have my own homebrew world I run my homebrew campaigns in, and have run many published campaigns from both WotC and Indie publishers. May the dice roll ever in your favor, and I look forward to seeing you at the game table!

Creating your character
Characters will be created on dndbeyond attached to a campaign of mine so you can access all of my added content into the site. Characters can be created at your convenience prior to the first session, and if you would prefer we can set up a time to chat and finalize characters and backstories to be ready for the first session. I do have a few prompts that I have listed in Discord for backstory creation. We will be using the 2024 ruleset for the game, but character creation can be done using 2024 or legacy rules including classes, species and backgrounds, but you will be locked into whichever option you choose for the duration of the campaign.
Party currently consists of a Fighter, Ranger, Cleric, Warlock, and Warlock/Paladin
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A Mic is required, but a webcam is preferred. You will need internet access as well to access foundry at a link I will provide when we start playing, as well as to access their character sheets on dndbeyond. Foundry does not require any download as it is web based. I welcome my players to use their own dice if they have them (as long as they are honest with their rolls) or they can use the digital dice on dndbeyond or Foundry VTT.
What Russell brings to the table
I will bring dice if everyone is local and willing to play in person. However if we are playing remote, personal dice are welcome as long as you remain honest with the rolls, or you can use the digital dice in dndbeyond or Foundry VTT. I will provide in game handouts whether in person or digital. If we are playing in person, I will provide a Mini for each player they are welcome to keep when the campaign has ended, for digital games I will do my best to help players find a character art that fits their vision for their character. I also do voices for NPC's and use background music for better immersion.

How Russell creates a safe table
This game will likely not be appropriate for players under 18. There will be strong aspects of fantasy violence, including the possibility of character death. Any sexual content will always be a fade to black. We will have a free session 0 where we will discuss any hard lines you might have as a player, and during that time we will also make sure your character and backstory is all set for the Session 1 and you are all set up on the VTT.
