Part of our environmental series where we look into a different environment each week and see all the role playing options that can be had. In the Frozen lands we discuss the many biomes it contains. We go over the many hazards and opportunities to run a game. We share out thought and notions of what we thought was just frozen wasteland.

Who are we?
We are just a couple of nerds who enjoy the game. Ralph, who has been running games, and Conner, who has watched his father run the games and who has ventured out into the world to run some of his own. Together we talk about our passion for role playing and some of our adventures along the way.
Please enjoy this journey with us.
