About the adventure
Something stirs in the frozen lake near a quiet, remote village. Its people have grown strange—eyes distant, hands idle, their voices repeating the same eerie phrases. At the edge of it all stands Dunfried, a potato farmer too frightened to sleep, desperate for someone to help. In this chilling, mystery-driven one-shot, players are drawn into the unraveling of a lakeside village under the thrall of an ancient power. Strange glyphs, silent stares, and whispered promises lead to a truth buried beneath the ice—and a choice that could save or doom the entire town. Genre: Mystery, Horror, Folk Supernatural Tone: Atmospheric, Uneasy, Slow-Burning Dread

About me
Hey there, friends! 🌟 Welcome to my corner! My name is Reno and I am a passionate gamer with a rich background in tabletop games and MMORPGs. I've been diving into the world of D&D 5e for 2 years now and have been running games for almost as long. I love creating a chill and laid-back vibe at the table. While I often lean into some spooky horror themes for our adventures, I totally encourage bringing in a bit of comedy too! So, let’s keep things fun and lighthearted—don’t hesitate to bend the rules and just enjoy the game! Can't wait to share some epic moments with you all! 🎲✨

Creating your character
You will need a D&D Beyond account for character creation—please make sure to use the 2024 Rules and *NOT* the Legacy version. While I’m open to incorporating additional species beyond the new rules, please be aware that some of the dynamics might not function exactly as originally intended in the updated rules. Use your best judgment and have fun crafting your character! **Standard Array or Point buy** for ability scores Characters can start with the following items (player's choice): 2 items of uncommon quality
What to expect

What Reno brings to the table
You will have access to a wide array of books from D&D Beyond, immersive maps, inspiring soundtracks, and an inclusive setting where you can explore, create unforgettable memories, and truly embrace the magic of the adventure.
Homebrew rules
Playing with the Rule of Cool. While most of the gameplay will follow the rules as written, we'll be using them more as guidelines. Feel free to suggest adjustments during the game to encourage player creativity and make things more fun for everyone. If I don't have a specific answer for player questions or situations NPCs encounter, I'll often let the dice decide. You’ll notice me rolling a D6 and going with whatever it lands on — it keeps the gameplay lively and enjoyable for all of us.
