While watching Frozen for the first time

While watching Frozen for the first time


So on the Disney Freeform channel I got to see the network premiere of the movie Frozen. Having no girls to take to this sort of movie, this was my first viewing of it. Of course as it came on I started taking some notes on occupations and characters I would see, the original intention being to use in Fantasy Setting for NPC ideas. Instead it turned into taking notes to use for an impromptu setting idea.

So this is not very detailed, would take a GM a bit of work to pull it all together in your Fantasy System of choice, but feel free to riff off these lists and ideas.

Occupations and Characters (Just some of them as watching it)
Maybe a new setting or concept based just on these
The wife did say this is pretty stereotypically Disney, pretty formulaic
They did give the best lines to the snowman overall
It was not a bad little movie. At least the Female Heroine saved herself instead of someone saving her instead, giving redemption to her sister instead of relying on some outside male figure

Logging and Ice Block Carving (Winter) as well as major exports

There are several nearby kingdoms they trade with

Sudden Snowstorms that sweep down from The Mountain
Ice Carvers Camp
Loggers Camp
Trading Post half way up to The Mountain
The Northern Lights (Another realm that can be travelled to only at night in the cold), composed of cold, light, faerie fire like landscape
