Hello from Jovek, the arctic region of Saldrothas the fictional D&D world that my players hail from. I have been DMing off and on for the last three or four years, and I feel like I am coming into my own as a DM finally after years of work (my prep work for the game has become more fluid and less stressful than in the past). I currently have three players in my campaign with two guys as backup in case my normal players have prior arrangements. I enjoy the lean three player group as it leads to more rapidfire turns and less downtime.
Currently my party is stuck on Jovek an arctic continent. Six months out of the year the ocean around Jovek ices over, this means that no ships travel to Jovek for half of the year...my party was unlucky enough to be on the last ship going to Jovek for the season. There is a silver lining for the party however, much of the northern region of the continent is unexplored due to the harshness of the climate, and many believe that ruins of an ancient civilization are scattered across the icy north. As the stories go, where there are unexplored ruins there are also unknown treasures, and of course a bit of peril.
Players are trying to track down the location of a certain mountain pass. They have been tipped off thata ranger may know of its location, but he is a bit of a solitary creature. A local wizard has marked the location
of the rangers lair on the parties map and they are off to try and coerce directions out of him, but the wizard has warned the party that the ranger prefers not to be bothered and has set up a network of deterrence to avoid visitors.

Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about my campaign. I am having a blast running it. I am always on the look out for great arctic encounters, traps, enemies, etc. I am using the 3.5 Frostburn book as a reference for a lot of things, but I also like to hear great ideas from players and DMs as well.
If you have any questions about the campaign feel free to ask them.
I am always interested in bouncing arctic encounter ideas off of DMs and players as well.
