Need a festive NPC for your game? You can use Jack Frost.

Do you need a festive NPC for your game? You can use Jack Frost.

For the Player The urchin that stands before you is almost deathly pale, his hair so blonde it might as well be white. Looking to be of an age caught between the innocence of childhood and the disquiet of adolescence, his clear blue eyes have an ageless quality to them, where mischief and wisdom twinkle in equal measure. A chill surrounds the boy, who seems altogether untroubled by it, despite his threadbare clothes and bare feet.

For the DM Jack Frost may be a harbinger of winter, cold, and ice, but he's also a consummate prankster who brings in his wake the joys of ice-skating, the fun of snowball fights, and the beauty of frost crystals. As a result, his reputation among mortals is mixed, but his incarnation responds in equal measure to the way he is treated. With a short fuse and a distaste for metaphysical debates, Jack exists for the present moment with both grim purpose and childlike glee.

Sculpting a mountain for an upcoming scout map. I love a sketched looking map. They always feel so immersive.

Why haven’t I been posting art and maps?? Because I was writing the manuscript for the next book for NaNoWriMo - How’s that going? It’s not. I was asked to run a one-off game for family while on vacation. #gmlife #adventurearchitect #dndadvenure #fantasycartography #rpgmap https://www.instagram.com/p/ClO7JE7PYmV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That...worked surprisingly well! I didn't think the rooms were going to line up in real proportions like the dice did. It was too confusing to "read" the dice as a dungeon, so I would roll one room at a time, but it gave me two nornal sized dungeons and a quick lair. . . . #micronpen #handdrawn #sketch #rpgjournal #rpgbujo #handwritten #handdrawing #fantasycartography #worldbuilding #solorpg #diebytheswordsolorpg #alwayssoloneveralone #mindfulgaming #recreationaltherapy #ttrpg #tabletopgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWDb0jhOrx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Coasts and cliffs inked. Mountains, rivers, and coastal waters are next! No history today on the Sylvarrian Forests, cause I gotta get ready for work, but certainly some on the next post. For now I'll leave you to wonder about the region.

Do you need an NPC for your game? You can use Minëlla the Elf Princess⁠.⁠

For the Player:⁠ There is a hardness beneath the graceful female elf’s wan smile, an aloofness as she regards you coolly. Though her simple and practical garments very closely resemble her peers’, a few delicate ornaments of gold filigree, fine silk, and a circlet mark her superior station.⁠ ⁠ For the Dungeon Master⁠ Minëlla is the granddaughter of Finrandir the Ageless, and serves as her forebear’s most trusted advisor and counsellor. It has been decades since any foreigner in these lands have been granted an audience with Finrandir himself. By his wishes, Minëlla handles all interactions with outsiders, which she does fairly but always with the best interests of her people as a priority.⁠

This is how much bigger the posters I print are than what came with the book. Plus no creases.

At the mouth of the rivers Lyar and Thring lies the city of Hofendal, capital of the Kingdom of Rasfadal. This is where the King of Rasfadal has spend his days since the War in the West ended. His hands are more than full with all the work and rebuilding that needs to be done after the devastating war. Many people have come to find refuge in Hofendal. Lords from the east come to ask for aid in reclaiming their lost holdings in the Swamps, but the war took its toll, and many men were lost. There aren't many to spare.

Until the Swamps can be reclaimed, these 'Homeless Lords' and their men have no place to go to, and so they make their home in Hofendal. Because of this, the city is filled with nobles and soldiers.

Proud as they are, the lords love to challenge each other, and settle old feuds. Many soldiers engage in fights in the streets and taverns. This has lead to the deaths of three soldiers and one innocent bystander already.

The King is desperately looking for ways to get the lords out of the city. With depleted resources, he has no intention in fighting the bandit kings and waging another war, but it seems like the only way. Any help he can get is more than welcome!

The City of Hofendal offers a great variety of work and quests for players. The king will be happy with any aid he can get, and many if the lords will probably have tasks for you as well. Then there are the people of Hofendal that can certainly use the help of experienced adventures as well.
