About the adventure
Beyond the Spine of the World, where the sun's warmth dares not tread, lies Icewind Dale—a realm eternally cloaked in a shroud of frost and shadow. Here, an unyielding winter reigns, orchestrated by the Frostmaiden, a malevolent deity who weaves a tapestry of ice and despair, threatening to envelop the land in an everlasting darkness. In this unforgiving tundra, secrets lie frozen in the depths of treacherous caverns and beneath the snow-capped peaks, waiting for brave souls to uncover them. Do you possess the courage to confront the curse of the Frostmaiden and unravel the mysteries hidden within her frigid dominion? As you journey through the Ten-Towns, known for their resilient citizens and dark secrets that chill even the bravest hearts, prepare to endure the bitter cold and the ever-looming threat of beasts that prowl the icy wilderness. With every step, the landscape will test your resolve—blizzards howl like wraiths, and the ground beneath your feet can shift from solid ice to treacherous crevices in an instant. Armed with your warmest clothes, durable gear, and provisions for the longest winter of your life, rally your companions and venture forth into the glacial expanse. Will you survive the Frostmaiden's Everwinter, emerge stronger, and forge your legacy in the annals of Icewind Dale? The challenge awaits; the ice beckons.

About me
✦ GM Cora Kelley ✦ “Stories spun from shadow and fate.” Welcome, traveler. I’m GM Cora Kelley, a storyteller who thrives in the spaces between light and darkness — where choice, mystery, and emotion intertwine. I’ve been running professional games for about three years, specializing in dark cinematic campaigns that emphasize roleplay, atmosphere, and connection over simple dice rolls. I currently run Dungeons & Dragons and Vampire: The Requiem, with a deep love for gothic horror, noir themes, and emotional storytelling. Whether it’s surviving the frozen dread of Icewind Dale, uncovering corruption in Ebonridge, or walking the misty streets of Curse of Strahd, I strive to create worlds that feel alive — and stories that stay with you long after the session ends. At my table, everyone is welcome — from first-time adventurers to seasoned players. The only requirements are respect, curiosity, and a willingness to engage with the story and your fellow players. My focus is always on genuine roleplay and collaborative storytelling, using combat only when it enhances the narrative. Players often describe my games as creative, inclusive, and immersive, with a strong sense of atmosphere and personal connection. My background in psychology and peer-to-peer mentoring helps me tailor experiences that make players feel seen, supported, and part of something meaningful. If you’re looking for a Game Master who values emotion as much as excitement — who will help you build a story worth remembering — then step behind the veil, and let’s begin your chronicle.

Safety
How GM Cora Kelley creates a safe table
***All content warning items listed are possible but not necessarily guarantees. I've played through the campaign myself and just wanted to provide as many possibilities that I have come across.*** In Session 0 we will go over the safety tools in more detail, but in a general sense, the various tools will be employed in whatever manner the players need. If there is an individual need that needs met, we can discuss it privately and see what we can do to resolve the matter. The table is intended to be a place to enjoy yourself and if that is not happening, please let me know.
