About the adventure
Winterfest needs you. Lanterns glow in the treetops, carols drift through the frosted air, and the village prepares its yearly offerings for Ysilwen â the Great Fir Drake who blesses the festival each winter. But this year, something is wrong. The offerings lie untouched. The statue stands silent. And Ysilwen has not come. Gram, the village druid, feels unease settling over the pines. Perhaps the drake is simply angered â offended by a forgotten tradition or slighted by some unknown misstep. Or maybe something far more dangerous is stirring in the woods. Travelers whisper of strange shapes in the sky, and some claim theyâve glimpsed another dragon circling the edges of Ysilwenâs territory. Gram doesnât know which fear is true⌠only that Winterfestâs magic is slipping away. Now the call falls to you. Follow the trail into the deep woods. Seek out the drakeâs hidden lair. Uncover the truth behind the silence. Whether itâs wounded pride, rising threat, or something neither druid nor villager dares imagine. Whatever awaits in the pines, Winterfest cannot survive without its guardian. Will you answer the call before the last lantern fades?

About me
Iâm a Word Slinger by trade, a storyteller by soul, and a forever GM by happy accident. I didnât set out to live behind the screenâbut once I caught the fever, I never looked back. That was over 15 years ago, before the first signs of snow settled into my beard. Since then, Iâve guided countless adventurers from their first d20 roll to legendary status. Some campaigns have lasted years, and Iâll keep the story alive as long as the tableâs having fun. Thatâs my promise: if youâre invested, Iâm all in. I specialize in immersive, emotionally resonant experiences tailored to each player. Subtle details, personalized arcs, and a welcoming atmosphere are my tools of the trade. Whether youâre new to roleplay or a seasoned thespian, I create a space where you can relax, explore, and connect with the story. I love theatricsâcostumes, themed nights, and dramatic twistsâbut player comfort and safety always come first. Your enjoyment is the heart of every session. No matter the setting or system, my goal remains the same: to guide you through a memorable, meaningful adventure that leaves you eager for the next session.
View Profile âCharacter creation
Creating your character
Character will be made on DnD Beyond before starting the adventure. Once you sign up, you will have the link to the DnD Beyond Campaign where you can add or create your character. If you are new and prefer me to do so, I can make you an awesome character to play as. We will be running this adventure at level 5. If you need assistance or have questions, message me.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will use DnD Beyond for character creation and sheets. I also use their VTT, so it makes it easy for all of us. Create your character there, and we will add it to the campaign once you are signed up. If you do not know how to create a character, that is not an issue. Sign up, and I will be happy to walk you through it as much as you need me to. We will also use Discord for audio and video. You will need at least a free account and a microphone.
What Christopher brings to the table
This adventure brings together the best parts of 80s action cinema and the warm, magical whimsy of a winter tale. Expect big moments, bold choices, and that unmistakable holiday glow â all delivered with the earnest, slightly overâtheâtop energy that makes these stories unforgettable. My style leans heroic, heartfelt, and a little wild. Youâll get sweeping winter vistas, mysterious forest magic, and the kind of adrenalineâpumping beats that feel ripped from a snowâcovered action classic. Itâs a world where courage matters, wonder is real, and every player gets a chance to shine like the lead in a holiday blockbuster. If youâre ready for a Winterfest adventure that mixes charm, danger, and just the right amount of cinematic cheese, youâre in the right place.

Safety
How Christopher creates a safe table
When you sign up for this adventure, you will have access to the Discord Server. There, you will fill out a consent form and send it back to me privately. This will allow me to know your comfort levels on all topics that may be sensitive. Also, I keep my private messages up during gameplay, which allows players to message me if they need a break or if a problem has arisen. I do not mind breaks as needed. My main goal in any game I run is for my players to have a positive experience. This cannot be achieved if someone does not feel included, comfortable, and safe.
