About the adventure

Every winter solstice, the small mountain town of Dreymere celebrates the Festival of Lights. Lanterns are strung along rooftops, fires burn all night and gifts are left at the Giving Tree to appease the Yule Warden, a folkloric spirit said to keep the endless night at bay. Dreymere and the festival, famed for its beauty and friendliness, draws a large gathering from all over Gaea. But this year, strange happenings have been occurring leading up to the Festival. Hunters are seeing strange things in the woods. Whispers of things creeping in the night. Wolves howling at all hours. And as the festival reaches its pinnacle the shadows stretch wide, an unnatural frost creeps into the land and a strange aurora stains the sky in tainted greens and bright reds. The adventurers must uncover the truth of what has happened before the solstice ends or risk a world locked in an endless winter.

About me

Hey there! I’m Maven. I'm a 30-something mom who's also a a cosplayer and a lifelong storyteller who found her way into the world of tabletop games in 2021. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the art of collaborative storytelling through systems like Dungeons & Dragons, Pirate Borg, Blades in the Dark, Perils and Princesses, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Candela Obscura. I started out GMing for friends, but now I’m opening my world to new players who are ready to dive into something a little different and a lot of fun. As a Game Master and a storyteller, I have a passion for dark and high fantasy, as well as horror, and everything I run is completely homebrewed — no modules here. Each story is shaped around the players and their characters, so no two campaigns are ever the same. If you bring me a tragic backstory, I will use it. Or if the campaign becomes your characters tragic backstory, that's even more delightful. I’m also a mental health advocate, and I believe that safety and communication make for the best stories. Every table I run includes a in depth session 0 discussion about lines and veils, so players can explore intense themes while knowing their boundaries are respected. If you’re looking for an immersive, character-driven roleplay heavy experience filled with emotion, mystery, and the occasional monster, my table might just be the right place for you.
