Hello,

Given that I am only now able to confirm that I am able to run a game this FG-CON and player sign-up started yesterday, I thought I'd better try and plug the fact that I am running a game!

This time I am going to run a Hellfrost game!


Five hundred years after the races of the southern lands won the Blizzard war, they suffer its legacy still. For five centuries the winters have grown steadily longer and colder. Huge swathes of the land of Rassilon are permanently covered in ice and snow, and even the temperate lands are not spared the misery of failed harvests, deadly winters, and the dreaded Hellfrost wind.

But winter is not the only danger. A mere 30 years ago, magic, once the civilized races’ most potent weapon, suddenly began to fail. The Siphoning, an effect of unknown origin, has made magic an unpredictable ally.

Welcome to the world of Rassilon.

Welcome to the Hellfrost!

This session will be run on the Fantasy Grounds Discord server: https://discordapp.com/invite/4zXsDH

New players welcome.

The party will consist of 4-8 characters as detailed below:

Lady Branwen Ap-Gaidon, Human (Anari) Heahwisard a minor noble she discovered she had magical abilities but quickly tired of formal training and over-confident in her abilities she left for a life of adventure whilst little more than an apprentice, over the last year her power has
grown but she still has little love or tolerance for life outside of the cities.

Garth Ap-Argius, Human (Anari) Arcanologist, Garth has spent the last 40 years searching and researching for relics of the old times, now in his older years what he lacks in strength and combat he makes up for with his knowledge and sharp wit, more that one opponent has been distracted at a critical moment by a barbed comment.

Rodgar, Engro Thief, a guild thief from the Cairnlands, he left the area due to misunderstanding about the guild funds, that has long been settled but his curiosity is currently fuelled by the adventurers he finds himself with, also he wants to make that one big score before heading back.

Hord Brighthammer, Frost Dwarf Rune Mage Healer, his loyalty to the party and his stubborn refusal to accept he actually cares for these humans and even a elf, has saved the lives of more than one party member over the past year. He has recently uncovered a second runestone and has begun to learn its art.

Coldfire, Frostborn Fire Elementalist, a secretive young woman, she uses her frostborn abilities and fyr elemental powers to great effect, she is driven by the desire to discover if cold is the fifth element.

Cynric Odwinsunu, Human (Saxa) Leader of men, trained to be a war general and tactician he proved too cautious in his first engagement, he now surprisingly travels with a group of adventurers, most of the time they ignore his orders but his tactical knowledge has helped on more than one occasion.

Snowrunner, Taiga Elf Paladin or Eostre, an outsider to his own people, Snowrunner has been God cursed by Thrym, he now dedicates his life to defeating the Hellfrost and Thrym.

Volas the Stubborn, Human (Tuomi) Hearth Knight, The winters grow longer and the ice and snow creeps forever closer to the Heathlands, standing against the white tide are the Heath Knights. Volas has travelled with the party for the last year, together they have battled the monsters that stalk the winter realm.


Please sign up and join me for some carnage and chaos in the Frozen North.

It will be Saturday 13:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC and it seems I have to use Discord this time :s

Would you post the link to the event? I am not seeing a Hellfrost game but maybe I am missing it. Thanks.

At time of writing my submission is currently pending, so you cannot even sign up!

As soon as I get a link I'll put it in :)

You might have been the first ever GM to post a game for FG Con (which was absolutely fabulous by-the-way), but now you're the 75th for FG Con 12. Wow! Who'd have thought a few years later we'd have over 70 events.

You're still late!

But thanks! :)

75 GMs, my word that is impressive how many more FG-Cons until we break 100 I wonder? :)

I added the characters and increased the party size to a maximum of 8, this has put the event back into Pending, so you cannot sign up right now, but I am sure that will be resolved shortly...

Quick question are those characters the pregen ones from the old PDF of Hellfrost characters? Interested in signing up for the game if I have time, and was curious about that and if you updated/fixed them to take into account the Deluxe update Hellfrost PDF errors some of the pregens had.

The characters are seasoned versions of the Hellfrost Pre-gens, they are not identical to the PDF versions, I tweaked them as I saw fit.
