LONGWINTER REFEREE'S BOOK

---///---

The setting is profoundly close to that of  (by the same author and artist).

This sandbox includes:

• ~110 pages of content.
• some colour illustrations.
• 3 variations of the Brezim map to represent changes as Winterwhite's curse bites harder.
• faction trackers for the 5 key factions and over 40 events to represent different groups growing or waning in strength depending on player actions.
• detailed weather and event tables to simulate a living setting.
• detailed encounter tables for night and day, which grow harsher as Winterwhite's curse grows stronger.
• several more tables to generate corpses, caches, vaults, and memories of summer.
• optional playing card-based escape mechanic with 54 different locations, challenges and characters encountered in each location.
• alternatively, the escape section serves as a resource to mine for winter locations, challenges, and characters.

Be aware:

• This is a book of factions and winter encounters for the full-fledged mini-setting detailed in the Longwinter Visitor's Book.
• The content is mostly system-neutral. It references some 5E or d20-style conventions, but should work with most low-power systems easily.
• Many of the encounters, and particularly the escape, will not work with characters resistant to cold, capable of flight, or otherwise able to avoid the environmental challenges.
