About the adventure
In Icewind Dale, adventure is a dish best served cold. Bundle up in your furs and grab your scarf as you get ready to explore the tundra and help the people of Ten Towns survive the long cold night. What secrets will you uncover in this vast campaign for levels 3 to 12. North of the Spine of the World and west of the towering Reghed Glacier is a frigid expanse few dare to explore, let alone inhabit. This icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. Auril the Frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter's fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. Further, she has cast a terrible spell over Icewind Dale, to the detriment of most of its denizens. Each night before midnight, Auril takes to the sky on the back of a white roc and weaves her spell, which manifests as a shimmering curtain of light - a beautiful aurora that illuminates the sky and fades before dawn. This powerful magic prevents the next day's sun from rising above the horizon, turning midday to twilight and trapping Icewind Dale in winter's dark embrace, with no sunlight to or warmth to melt the snow and ice.

About me
Greetings Adventurer! I'm RC and being a professional game master is my dream job! If pay didn't matter and I could only have one job, I would choose this one. Nothing brings more joy to my life then helping others experience and enjoy this incredible hobby. That's why I started Sunset Hollow Gaming, to bring you the best table top RPG gaming experience possible. I have been a Dungeon Master of Dungeons & Dragons for over 20 years and professionally since 2022. I provide a safe and inclusive table and readily adjust to the needs and desires of my players. My campaigns are narrative focused and character driven with an emphasis on roleplay and having fun around the table. I write custom character story arcs for every player, giving your character the spotlight. We use tactical combat with forgiving house rules that are sure to bring epic battles where your character can be a true hero. Ride the dragon, jump from that second story naked to attack your foe, and have epic kills. I bring my best character voices and NPCs that have deep and rich backgrounds to discover as your relationship grows. All published modules I run get fleshed out, re-worked, and adjusted to provide a unique take on the module to delight new and veteran players alike. All my games use HD/Animated Maps, Custom Character Tokens, Atmospheric Music, and Useful APIs for the best dynamic VTT experience on Roll20 possible. Sunset Hollow Gaming has its own Community Discord for Voice/Video and a full library on D&D Beyond for characters. Visit our website at: SunsetHollowGaming.com to learn more and the latest menu of games we offer. Join us today and roleplay with abandon! Campaign Perks! • Personalized adventure arcs based off your PC's backstory during the campaign! • A Hero Forge figure and tokens of your character designed by RC!
