Since they're five years old & I'm not doing much #5eDND anymore, I've decided to drop the price on each. Maybe they'll still be interesting to some players & DMs who feel the call of ice & snow like I often do...

Both were heavily inspired by the old HR1 Vikings Campaign Sourcebook which was one of my favorite splatbooks to read and re-read as a child.

The 1st was Heroes of the Icy North...

The far north is a brutal place, a land of harsh weather and dangerous enemies; it breeds a different kind of adventurer who has adapted to the high mountains and frozen wastes of the north.

This thread is the perfect example of what I mean. The quote is pulled from an entire conversation about wokeness in D&D. The author ignored the consensus (wokeness is fine) and cherry-picked the one comment he misread as confirming his thesis.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

It's also just incoherent? The author says focusing more on romance than adventure (this is based on a single marketing image btw), D&D will lose its appeal to teens because teens hate sex now. But the entire premise of the piece is that there's more young people playing D&D.

The second piece of evidence doesn't appear until 2/3 of the way into the story and it's a random tweet from an account with 3,000 followers.

When you actually make creative things, working through one idea is the birth of two more ideas, hydra-like. When you DON’T do the creative work, *of course* nothing new springs up in its place.
