❄Icewind Dale - Rime of the Frostmaiden❄ - Level 1-15
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
In the frigid heart of the North, where the land knows no mercy and the winter's icy grip never relents, lies a realm of unending darkness and bitter cold. Welcome to Icewind Dale, a place where frost and fear reign supreme, and the very air can steal the warmth from your bones. Beneath a shroud of perpetual twilight, the people of Ten-Towns huddle together, their candles flickering against the encroaching void. But it is not just the relentless winter that chills the soul; a sinister secret, as old as the glaciers themselves, has awakened in the depths of this desolation. An ancient, malevolent force – the Frostmaiden – spreads her icy influence, casting a sinister shadow over the land. As frostbitten horrors and whispered legends take life, the fate of Icewind Dale hangs in the balance. Will you brave the unforgiving tundra, unravel the mysteries buried in snow and ice, and stand against the Frostmaiden's chilling embrace? In the heart of winter's grip, heroes will be forged, and legends born in the bleak and beautiful landscape of Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Rule of Cool
We got a ton of loot, great vibes, and a relaxed, joke-filled session! By the end the group was already riffing off each other and coming up with our own inside jokes. Even though I was the new player, I felt welcomed and at ease. My favorite moment was when a black dragon ambushed us a second time, and the GM rolled with my attempt to not only grab it by the talon, but wrestle my way to its wings and bring it crashing to the ground, while my party members peppered it with spells and abilities from below. GM was also able to recite lore, rumors, and interesting facts about the world seemingly at will.
Absolutely astonishing intro to what seems like a great campaign. I'm no expert nor will I claim to be but I've spent a few years Gm'ing now and they have been absolutely amazing with the story telling, they really made me feel like I had a reason to be there and kept me plenty occupied on what could have been a typical fetch quest!
Additional details
How to prepare
Players will need a Discord account and a mic, headphones are recommended. A Webcam is optional. Sessions take place on my Discord server, and dice rolls are handled by a bot on said server.
What I provide
I will bring all the sourcebooks, notebooks, and shiny math rocks necessary to give you a great experience. Additionally, I will provide digital maps of Icewind Dale and Ten-Towns.
Gameplay details
You can expect a fairly high amount of combat, a high amount of roleplay, and some puzzles every now and then. If a player at the table is uncomfortable with the events currently taking place, I will either quickly pivot to something better or fade to black until after the events have transpired, and avoid such situations in the future.
