"I sometimes try to tempt casual players and gamers into the elusive mysteries of roleplaying games during the holidays, and what better for that than a simple (silly?) one-shot.Here it is, a visit to the goddess Winterwhite. Convince her to make the winter gentle this year.EDIT: Added a really big, roughly 600 x 700 mm print file. Go to kinko's, go wild.
One illustrated map presents the referee's point of view, with all the hazards and weirdnesses the players may encounter, the gifts they may beg and borrow for the goddesses, and how she may react. The other map is for the visitors, for the players. A little less information is available and some of it is unreliable. You could use this with a VTT, print as a handout, or some other method I can barely comprehend involving the blockchain for managing how the players navigate the map.
The map in the header is the visitor's map, so if you don't want the location spoiled for you, avoid the attachments labelled "REFEREE" and "WIDE BORDER PRINT FILE". That said, most referees will muddle things about and even if you see it, will you remember it when you play? Go on, enjoy the map. :)"

This pared-down method may be enough to run the adventure.
The referee presents a situations and the players say what they want to do. The referee says what happens and the players react to the new situation.
Players take turns in an order that makes sense to the referee.
When a character attempts something risky, they roll a d6:
If competent • 1 failure, 2–3 marginal, 4–6 success.
If unskilled • 1–3 failure, 4–5 marginal, 6 success.
Failure: The character fails. Their predicament worsens. New challenges arise.
Marginal: The hero can succeed if they accept a complication devised by the referee—perhaps they try to rush past the ice wyrm, but it strikes them as they pass.
Success: The hero achieves their goal without further problems.
When circumstances or tools favor a character, they add a +1 bonus to their roll. If both envi- ronment and equipment are on their side, they add +2.

Longwinter: The Referee’s Book contains tools for running Longwinter at the table, with factions and winter encounters.
Longwinter: Visitor's Book contains common knowledge and mechanics for all the players: heroes and referees.
