The Fantasial Freeze

The Fantasial Freeze is the first Quelmar Campaign coming out of Minnesota, the 7th official Community Campaign overall, and the first to utilize a special variation on D&D known as DDWN.

The campaign had a "pilot" session in December 2024, before kicking off properly in January 2025, with an expected end time of Early Summer 2026.

About

It is 466 PR.

The Arctic Autumn happens.

That's apparently really bad for this region of south west Osugbo.

Player Characters

• PCs are made up of a combination of DDWN Race, Class, and Background
• PCs currently start at Level 1. But provided they survive their first session, immediately level up to 2. Players who survive two sessions earn Level 3, and then level progression slows down much more.
• Ability Scores are either rolled (4D6 drop one) or chosen from the DDWN Standard Array: 14, 12, 11, 10, 9, 7

Downtime

Each month a player can make progress on a downtime project of their choice. Downtimes are resolved in the Fantasial Freeze downtimes discord channel.

Players can also use their downtimes to work on any of the Bastions being erected as headquarters for the team.

Community Whiteboard

Community whiteboard can be found in the link above, or by clicking here: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJ3wK9gA=/?share_link_id=969761529939

Use the whiteboard to add notes or try to theorize about the story as it unfolds.

Wiki SP

As in the case with most Quelmar community campaigns, special points can be gathered between sessions by writing on the Quelmar Wiki. For DDWN, plays gain 1 Wiki Skill Point (WSP) per every 625 words written. These are collected on your sheet and spent just like the normal skill points gained when leveling up.

Players cap out Wiki SP at 10,000 words (for a total of 16 Wiki Skill Points that can be optionally earned).

As seen on the DDWN character sheet, Skill Points can be spent to increase Ability Scores and Skill Ranks.

House Rules

• Races have been expanded and rethemed from original sources, you can find all of their specific details here:
  • List of Quelmar Races (DDWN)
• First time players get to more easily pick out their class by choosing from a dozen prefabs, structured after the traditional D&D 5e classes.
  • List of Quelmar Classes (DDWN)
• DDWN House Rules
  • A long rest removes Frail from a PC. (As the RAW rule of 1 week's long rest is impractical for the one-shot style of the campaign)
