PART 1: The Snows of Summer

The sleepy village of Heldren has rarely seen so much excitement or concern. Hunters from the nearby Border Wood speak of unnaturally cold weather at the height of summer that descended on the forest just days ago. Heavy snow followed, and those who returned spoke of an uneasy presence in the woods, as well as new, dangerous predators. No one knows what this event means, but the town’s soothsayer, Old Mother Theodora, claims dark times lie ahead.

As if in proof of that dire prophecy, a badly wounded mercenary arrived in town yesterday, claiming to be a bodyguard of Lady Argentea Malassene. He told the village council that the noblewoman’s escort came under attack by bandits and strange, wintry creatures near the edge of the Border Wood. He alone escaped, and Lady Argentea was dragged away into the forest. Now the townsfolk cast fearful eyes toward the snowy forest, worried what else might emerge to threaten their peaceful village.

And so it begins! Joy! Fanfare!

All right! Here begins the OOC/discussion/etc area of our up-and coming Reign of Winter campaign! Huzzah! Joy! Fanfare!

Now, before we begin, a few rules and junk on character creation. Yes, I know the Player's Guide is not out just quite yet, but the word is soon. And have no fear! Paizo's Player Guides are FREE! I know that everyone is going in with different amounts of experience in Golarion and the nations within, but the Player's Guide will give you a good basic view of the region and whatnot.

If there are any questions not detailed in this post, you all know where to find me.

CHARACTER CREATION RULES

Stats: 20 point buy.

Races: I am not strict on this. Play whatever you want! My only request is a heads up should you choose one of the less common races. Alternate traits and such are allowed. A custom race from the race builder will need my approval beforehand, though.

Classes: Anything goes. Same with archetypes.

Starting Gold: Class average.

Traits: Two traits. One must be from the Player's Guide... when it comes out. I only enforce this because they almost always help tie players into the campaign.

Equipments: Again, pretty much anything goes. However, for more exotic gear (ie anything blatantly Asian or specific to regions that are not in the immediate vicinity of the game), I will request a plausible explanation as to how it came to be in your possession.

Notes may be subject to change, depending on what questions and info I may receive.
