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.

It is 466 PR.

The Arctic Autumn happens.

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

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 Skill Point per every 625 words written.

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)
