About the adventure
In the far north is a land frozen for hundreds of years. Beyond the snow and frozen cities lies an ancient throne from which King Aurec the Hollow rules. Under his command fall legions of undead and horrifying frozen monsters that threaten the Southern realms. Every year, the Crown sends another expedition to the frozen wastes to keep the dangers at bay. But rather than heroes being sent, they instead chose to send convicts, exiles, and those the kingdom would not miss. They're sentenced to hold the frontier for the rest of their lives. Yet the Crown offers one final bargain: survive the expedition, march into Aurec's kingdom, and slay the death knight. Return victorious, and your crimes will be forgiven. You are one of these unfortunate souls brought to this frontier. Whether you are guilty of a heinous crime, falsely imprisoned, or a searcher of ancient knowledge. Whether these lands are your prison or your grave is yet to be seen. This campaign is a mix of high fantasy and gritty fantasy. Characters will have to manage the weather, their encumbrance, and slow exploration of this frozen kingdom. All the while growing in strength to slay horrible monsters in epic confrontations, collecting ancient relics and powers. The more success you have while exploring will bring more wealth to the expedition, granting you more npc's and resources to aid in your progress. In this game, I make custom boons for your characters that will slowly grow alongside you. These boons are made so that you can play character concepts and ideas that would normally not be possible in base 5e. These can range from boons that enhance your subclass to maximize the fantasy or change you into a monstrous werewolf or ghost. Whatever they may be they are designed to enhance your characters story. This game plays in a mostly 2014 version of 5e but i am flexible on bringing in any new content as long as i can change it and balance it first. Last but not least this game takes place in a my custom homebrew setting known as the Nexus. Most of the games I have run take place in this setting. Which means that the actions you take will permanently change the world for future and current players in the world. However it’s important to understand that even if you are in the same world campaigns are all still focused on telling their individual story simply within a shared space.

About me
Welcome, adventurers! My name is Mino, and I am a professional Dungeon Master with 5 years of experience running games across multiple systems—Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and more— I work hard to create a type of game that allows your characters to grow beyond the bounds of normal and gain custom character based boons in every game I run to allow a immersive experience where you can play any fantasy you desire.

Creating your character
The characters' starting level will be level 3. Stats will be determined by point buy. All books are allowed; however, any UA or homebrew content must be run by me. However I will rarely say no to the idea and will simply rebalance it if it's what you want. Character creation and discussion happen during session 0. I will custom-make a magical boon after session 0 and backstories are finalized.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
They will need a Forge account(free) and a passable mic for Discord. Character concepts can be brought, but in general, work on characters should be done in session 0.
What Mino brings to the table
I will offer Foundry VTT Forge server an extensive knowledge of rules and automation, such that it will allow your character sheets to function at a high level of quality and ease. The maps will be walled and lit with ambient music fitting the scene to match the scene. I am no expert on voice acting, but I try my best to have it fit. But I do make the mannerisms of the characters attempt to fit. In addition, I have an exceptional repertoire in homebrew race and subclass creation, so I will be able to craft your character for your fantasy and experience.
Homebrew rules
I have created a custom weapon action system that allows every weapon to have unique fighting style. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/15Lo9s5ziVjIgHozxhtUSKhpnXYD0VHdp8_tPSW9AWVg/edit Potions are a bonus action Scrolls can be used by any character that can read the writing it was written in All the more niche rulings are stored here https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Gp7hON4pKeSiOcxrYjGa7eBaqDsYd9H2TDoKvQoKAQ/edit?usp=sharing The most important rule to consider for this campaign is that you will only be able to long rest in warm/ safe havens that you will need to find and claim throughout your expedition into the frozen wastes along with harsher snow and weather rules.

How Mino creates a safe table
During the session 0 their will be an in-depth conversation about what topics people are not comfortable with and what people want lines and veils on and more importantly what triggers them. I don't need or care for the reasons if someone is uncomfortable with it I will modify it based on player needs.
