You are called to an adventure of a lifetime...

A campfire in the dark. All eyes take in its warmth, but the world beyond is vast. Bodies lean forward, though they are weary from the day's journey. Sparks rise from the embers into the stars, blending until you can't tell which is which. The group is so deep in their shared imagination that they forget about time, and postpone the long rest to come. The boundary between worlds has dissolved.

Ember Range Adventures is a Calgary-based company that organizes and leads group experiences in the Alberta backcountry where playing a tabletop game like D&D is woven into the journey. Whether it's a long-weekend one-shot at an off-grid cabin, or an 8-day backcountry mini-campaign, we're here to build something unforgettable. It's all homebrew at Ember Range: we take care of the route, the food, and the monsters — you show up ready to hike and roll.

Answer the call. We have three Adventures planned this summer. Check out our schedule for 2026!

Our Adventures

We offer two kinds of Adventures: Enclaves (fixed in one spot, like a cabin or campsite) and Expeditions (we travel to different campsites or cabins along a route, carrying our gear as we go). We plan to offer our first Expeditions in Summer 2027. You can register to join a planned Adventure with others (see the list below) or contact us to arrange a private Adventure for you and your group.

Each Adventure is:

Safe. Player safety is paramount, both on and off the table.
Unique. Each Adventure is tailored to the players who come on the journey—and none of them end up where you'd expect. While Adventures feature a distinct theme in a particular location in the Nereolm setting, they will evolve and respond organically to the players (and characters) who show up.
Well-prepared. Each Adventure is meticulously planned, from accommodation and gear to the route and safety precautions, to ensure that Adventurers can show up, enjoy the outdoors, and play.
For adults, for now. All Players must be 18 years or older. We are developing programs for youth—stay tuned!

Equipment

When you sign up for an Ember Range Adventure, we'll will tell you exactly what you'll need to bring. Here are our general guidelines.

Travel

Our Adventures are set in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and its foothills, and they depart from Calgary, Alberta. We welcome Adventurers from near and far. If you need assistance arranging travel and accommodation before and after the Adventure, please contact us. We'd be happy to help.

Session 0

We will schedule a Session 0 prior to each Adventure. This is held remotely a few weeks before departure, and is a chance for participants to meet one another, get prepared for the Adventure, answer any questions (logistics, gear, transportation, etc.), learn a little about the story and world, and create characters with backstories. Session 0 usually takes about two hours.

Beginner Campaigns

Leading up to our Adventures we run online D&D campaigns free of charge. If you're new to D&D or need a refresher, this is your chance to get ready. Contact us to learn more.

Our Founding Season

2026 is the inaugural season of Ember Range Adventures.

We're looking for the right people to help us build something new. This year's three Adventures are offered at very affordable rates — transportation from/to Calgary, accommodation, meals, guiding, and the full tabletop experience are all included. The only cost is a small fee ($100-500, depending on the Adventure) to confirm and hold your spot.

These departures are small and intentionally few in number. To be considered, please fill out an application. Those selected will become our Founding Players, and their feedback will shape everything that comes next.

Every story has a first chapter. This is ours.
