Missing In The Cold: The Void
Indie TTRPG | Campaign
About the adventure
Far into the north, in a land of giants and unending winters, a mage has gone missing. Their wondrous tower left abandoned, not a single item packed up. The attendant to the tower has sought out well known adventurers to help locate their master. They fear something more nefarious may be in the works, and there are far too many leads to follow. The tower is located high in the mountains in a remote location somewhere between nowhere and nothing at all. Meaning following a thread must be a carefully considered choice, there is no second guessing in this cold tundra. This campaign will be story focused, driven by the choices players make in their attempts to unravel the mystery at hand. The world, wether it be the elements or the beings that are accustomed to them, will make for a difficult travel experience as the party traverses one of the most inhospitable parts of the world.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
