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...
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
We're a couple sessions in, but campaign is designed with drop-in/drop-out in mind, so new players should be able to get right into things! ----------------------- The current party: 🔹 Dwarven Cleric 🔹 Loxodon Barbarian 🔹 Human Warlock How will you complete the group?

Gameplay details
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!
