About the adventure
An unexplainable death has taken place in a snowy village far north - an explorer caught a sickness that slowly turned him into ice. There might be more victims - including your own party - if you do not find the cure. You have been hired to investigate this circumstance and find who or what killed the dwarf. Talk to people who might know more, and investigate places of interest. Work together as a team and stop this mysterious disease! ================================ This is a one-shot conversion of the "Frozen Sick" adventure, which usually takes 3-4 sessions. ================================ This adventure is fitting for people of all levels of skill. 😊 We will use the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons 5e. 🐲 We will have a 10 minute break during the session. 🕑

About me
My name is Fabio, I'm originally from Germany and I now live in beautiful Sweden. I fell in love with D&D around 10 years ago when my brother introduced me to Critical Role. I started playing in 2022 and have been DMing since 2023. I have mostly been leading online one-shots and a long-term real-life campaign in my homebrew world. My goal is to make sure that everyone at the table feels seen and has a fun time together. It is especially important to me that everyone feels like they are in a safe space where they can be themselves and explore their characters. Trusting each other (for example, by being honest about what you rolled on your dice) is vital for a positive shared experience.

Creating your character
Characters will be made together using the 2025 (5.5e) ruleset in Session 0 on DnDBeyond: www.dndbeyond.com Make sure you make an account! Ability Scores will be decided using Standard Array (15,14,13,12,10,8) This adventure takes place only at level 1. Due to this being a single-session adventure, no backstory of your character will be brought up by the Dungeon Master, but you can certainly use it for role-playing purposes. Provide me with an image that represents what your character looks like.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: - Discord (www.discord.com) - DnDBeyond (www.dndbeyond.com) - Microphone, Mouse & Keyboard - Stable internet connection Physical dice are not necessary but feel free to use them.
What Fabio brings to the table
I use KenkuFM to play music through DIscord. I like to do voices for Non-player characters and I invite anyone to immerse themselves into the roleplay. During combat I like to give some description of actions, or might ask you for one. I like to use Rule of cool (going outside of the bounds of the rules to do something creative / fun) but stick to the rules 95% of the time.
Homebrew rules
Drinking a healing potion can be done as a bonus action, but you can instead use your action to get the maximum amount of healing possible from that potion. On critical hits, you can choose to either double the damage number you rolled or double the amount of dice you roll. For example, lets say you roll 1d8 damage normally. If your result is 3, you can choose after rolling the damage if you would like to double that (so 3*2) or roll another dice. This is to give critical hits more chances to be impactful while still respecting the dice rolls.

How Fabio creates a safe table
We will have a group chat on Discord. During session 0, we will discuss where everyone's Lines and Veils stand, and I will make the answers clearly visible for everyone. I make adjustments to the game as needed. After the session we have a conversation about the game if wished, how it went and if there was anything noteworthy.
