The Moon is Calling: Face Lycanthropes, Giants and MORE! (LVL 1)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Between a great glacier and tall frosted peaks lies a land filled with terrifying beasts, powerful warriors, and ancient magicks. It is here that your party has ventured, and it is here that they may breathe their last. But worry not, for the story herein contains the key to survival in the white wilds of Frostbyrn, a wild and diverse country, ran by no monarchies or councils, but collectively shared and protected by the Fourteen Tribes, clans of humans and half-humans that honor the Celestial Spirits, great elemental beasts they believe now reside in the stars after leaving the protection of the land to the Tribes. This land is not dominated by one culture, however; a chiefdom of orcs makes its home in the harsh landscape, and tales of dragons and giants abound. On the borders of Frostbyrn even lie a few small settlements that are home to adventurers, hunters, and the errant prospector looking to make some coin out of yet another "untamed" land. Over the course of this adventure, you will face the violence of hordes of werebeasts unable to control their transformations, the fury of an orc chiefdom that call themselves the Prémiterre, the greed of a powerful devil bent on making Frostbyrn his personal playground, the pride of giants who were here long before anyone else, and the honor of a dragon who chose to be more than a monster. To face these dangers, heroes must rise to warn the people of impending doom, that they may rise up as well and protect the land they call home. This adventure pulls you into a dangerous game of survival, betrayal, and curses. Will you successfully navigate the treacherous landscape, avoiding or defeating powerful beasts and monsters alike? Who will you ally with when forced to choose between honorable fighters? How will you reconcile knowing your time is limited as the Ravening, a deadly event that comes once every 500 years, fast approaches? A story of prophecy, werebeasts, fiends, and savagery awaits in the beautiful lands of Frostbyrn.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
