Credit Notes – Cycle One – Shield of the Northern Towers
I am playing and writing in a world not of my creation. I owe credit to those creative minds which inspire my own creativity and enjoyment. May their effort and imagination be rewarded in full.
Adventure Design
The basic idea of the quest I am using for Cycle One: Shield of the Northern Towers came from the published adventure, Rime of the Frostmaiden. Honesty I’m not using any of the adventure content except for some of the lore of Ten Towns and surrounding locations.(Perhaps an NPC or two as well…) I am bringing the Frozenfar Fray Games into the Ten Towns, and also the abode of Shavisala, the mother of Dawndra.
For Scene 09 – Frostfall Pass – I have used the excellent adventure “The Snow Stalkers” by Kelsey D and her Arcane Library. (BTW… Nim Bragos as an NPC character has his origins in this published adventure… I embellished him a bit with a sister and bodyguard)
For the Tavern Brawl in Scene 06, I am using the system from
Tavern Brawl Builder by Jean Lorber
Ed Greenwood is owed credit for the Sword Coast of Faerun and much of what an adventurer such as myself might encounter there.
Wizards of the Coast is owed credit for Dungeons and Dragons – Fifth Edition. I firmly believe they deserve both creative and legal credit for the game structure and mechanics and even the containers such as Stat Blocks which make the game a joy. Many of the characters, settings and storylines I play within are their creative property. I officially recognize this and express gratitude for it.
Fandom Wiki is a tremendous source of lore for playing within the Forgotten Realms. I link out to it extensively and I hope readers will benefit as much as I have from the resource.
