About the adventure

Set in the icy and treacherous realm of Icewind Dale. In this chilling campaign, players are thrust into a land of eternal winter, where they must navigate through the hardships of survival, confront mysterious and malevolent forces, and uncover the secrets that shroud the region. The story revolves around a powerful and ancient magical being whose actions have plunged Icewind Dale into an unending winter. As the players delve into the frozen landscapes, they'll encounter a variety of challenges, from battling brutal weather conditions to unraveling intricate plots and mysteries that permeate the Dale's settlements. The campaign is a blend of exploration, investigation, and combat, offering players a chance to engage in both epic battles and intricate roleplaying interactions. The central themes of "Rime of the Frostmaiden" include the struggle for survival against the harsh environment, uncovering the truths that lie beneath the surface, and confronting both external and internal threats. The adventure provides a mix of horror, mystery, and heroic storytelling, all set against the backdrop of a frigid and desolate landscape. As the players progress, they'll have opportunities to interact with unique NPCs, uncover secrets about Icewind Dale's history, and ultimately face the source of the unending winter. The adventure encourages both creative problem-solving and deep character development as the players strive to overcome the challenges and adversaries presented by the cold and mysterious world of Icewind Dale.

Gameplay details

My goal with how I have FoundryVTT setup is to make learning it as painless and as simple as possible. I use a beautiful UI mod to organize your moves into Actions, Bonus Action, Free Actions, and Reactions so you know which abilities are which. Also, with a simple, target enemy and a click of your weapon, the game will automatically roll to hit and damage leading to minimal time between turns and a faster paced game! No one likes waiting forever to get back to their turn. Lastly, I make sure at the end of every session to do a recap of the important lore bits we experienced as well as what lies ahead in the next session! Recently I have purchased Dungeon Alchemist so that I can make beautiful looking maps! Homebrew Rules: Using Double every other Diagonal rules for movement and spell ranges https://i.imgur.com/tZyn79Z.png Healing Potions: Bonus action as Normal, As an Action Rolls Maximum Out of combat healing Rolls Maximum Death Saving Throws: being knocked to 0 HP or failing a death saving throw adds 1 point of exhaustion (nat 1 adds 2 points of exhaustion) to balance this, a short rest removes 1 point of exhaustion and a Long Rest sets your exhaustion back to 0) Saving throw Crits: ex: someone casts blight on someone else, Nat 1 rolls maximum damage, nat 20 rolls minimum damage Swift Action: Swap your weapons or make a skill check(Determine an Enemy's Weakness/intentions) Flanking: +2 to attack rolls
