About the adventure

Icewind Dale, the frigid north of the world, has become more frigid still in recent years- the summer growing shorter and shorter, until now -at last- it has not come at all. Something is wrong with Auril, goddess of winter, and you- perhaps visitor, perhaps resident- are caught up in the middle of this, as chaos spreads, and the secrets of this land begin to be lost forever, beneath the ice... ----------------------------------------------------- This campaign is all about isolation and mystery. In the earlygame, the focus is on the towns of ❄️Icewind Dale❄️; fearful and alone, as threats grow both within and without. Later, it shifts to matters ancient, divine, and mysterous: of 🪼horrors eldritch🪼, worlds forgotten, and the nature of gods and man Spiraling from survival and exploration into eldritch horror and epic adventure, this homebrew take on Rime of the Frostmaiden forces you to race against the oncoming winter to save both Icewind Dale and your sanity, before it's too late...

Homebrew rules

House rules will be covered during session zero, but the following are the big ones: • Rule of Cool • If an attack roll beats the target's AC by 10 or more, it counts as an artificial critical. • Negative Hit points Exist, they work how you think they'd work • Standing up from prone triggers an attack of opportunity • Spells of level 2 or lower don’t count against the ‘one spell slot spell per turn’ rule

Safety

How Ellery/Scriblatives creates a safe table

Although Icewind dale will have its fair share of goofy moments and zany characters, a central part of its theming is things like eldritch horror and difficult moral choices. Because of this, a crucial part of the session zero process will be discussing triggers and content warnings to ensure everyone is as comfortable as possible! I will also regularly check in, to make sure everyone is having as much fun as possible!
