Frostgrave 2nd Edition

Choose a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, and select from a list of eighty spells. Hire a warband filled with soldiers, from lowly thugs and thieves to mighty knights and barbarians, then lead your men into the frozen ruins of the magic city of Frostgrave on the hunt for ancient treasures and the secrets of lost magic. Be warned — it is a deadly place, filled with rival wizards, wandering monsters, animated constructs, and demonic entities. Do you dare enter the Frozen City one more time?

• Setting:

  The game is set in Felstad, the capital of a lost empire that was destroyed by a cataclysmic blizzard, leaving it as a frozen wasteland filled with dangerous creatures and powerful artifacts. 
• Wizard & Warband:

  Each player controls a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, who hires a warband of up to eight soldiers—ranging from common thugs to skilled assassins and heavily armored knights—to accompany them on their expeditions. 
• Campaign Play:

  Frostgrave encourages connected games where wizards level up, gain new spells, gather treasures, and develop their headquarters into powerful bastions. 
• Narrative Focus:

  The game emphasizes emergent storytelling and narrative-driven campaigns, where the goal is to acquire treasure and power rather than just defeat opponents.

  Combat and actions are resolved using a streamlined system based on 20-sided (d20) dice rolls, making the game accessible. 
• Modular Content:

  Frostgrave has an expandable design with various supplements and scenarios, and a companion sister game, Stargrave, offers a similar experience in a sci-fi setting.
