Curse of the Wintermancer

The small town of Crossroads lies frozen and silent, trapped within a cursed snow globe conjured by a bitter arcane exile. To free the townsfolk, the adventurers must brave a warped winter realm filled with unnatural cold, shambling Snow Ghouls, and living constructs of ice—before confronting the spell’s architect, the Wintermancer himself.

Designed for easy drop-in play, Wintermancer is a fully self-contained adventure blending investigation, exploration, and escalating danger. With built-in scaling for multiple party levels and extensive GM support, it runs smoothly as a one-shot or a chilling side arc in an ongoing campaign.
