About the adventure
NIGHT ETERNAL COMES FOR THE DALE. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE WINTER?! The wrath of a god is upon you in this survival sandbox adventure taking players far across Faerun's Icewind Dale. Rime of the Frostmaiden: Auril Everlasting is an adventure focused on survival in harsh frozen conditions, building relationships across the Dale's Ten Towns, and weaving together several major plot threads via player choice. But don't be misled by those shiny sourcebooks, this adventure is packed with tons of new material you won't find between the pages of the original work. Rime of the Frostmaiden: Auril Everlasting throws our party into a bleak, frigid tundra trapped in a spell of eternal night. Themes of odd magics, bitter survival, icy vistas filled with strange new monsters to meet, and a wide cast of incredible NPCs to get to know. This adventure is open to new players and veterans alike. Our game will focus on piecing together a story of wrath and desperation in sandbox setting while the clock ticks down on your primary goal: saving the Ten Towns from the grips of Auril's nocturnal curse! From the moment you create your characters and enter the Dale, the reigns will be in your party's hands as to where you'd like to go and which plots/quests you wish to solve. Will you help the people of the Dale break the night's hold? Will you delve deep into ancient frozen troves of vast treasures in search of glory? Or will you attempt to strike at a god and seal you name into history for all time? That will be for you to decide!
Begin the day with a sledge ride through the frozen, night-locked north in this Icewind Dale adventure! We play every Tuesday @ 10:00 AM EST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚔️Our is 3rd level, using 2024 5th Edition rules.

Penny is one of the best DMs I've ever played with! Her grasp of the rules and mechanics of the game are stellar, and she puts in SO MUCH work to the VT we use to really make the game immersive and exciting. Character creation was very detailed and helpful, and the character I play feels like the most developed and realized character I've had; that's a direct result of Penny's process. Not only that, but Penny has done a wonderful job tying all six player backstories into the campaign to create a unique, personal experience for all of us. The fact that we're 20+ sessions in and still have our original crew from session 0 is testament to Penny's incredible work as our DM. You should absolutely be trying to get a seat at her table -- it's a blast!
TOP TIER! Seriously, if you are looking for the most fun DM ever, look no further. Lights, special effects, so many different voices and the world building is incredible, on top of that all, their games are run so professionally AND FUN!!!! my goodness, the other players and myself are always talking about the game and that is all due to Penny's incredible storytelling. If you are looking for a DM that is creative, understanding and overall just really fun to play with, look no further, Penny is the DM for you!!!!!
Penny always bright and cheery, but is quite capable of describing dark and horrible events. Allows time for people to learn the game and always helpful when questions are asked. Keeps the game going but has many safe guards if things get too intense for players, goes with the flow and willing to allow players to try things not specifically pointed out in the rules. Use voices and effects to really bring people and monsters to life, keeps personalities in mind when questions go off script. Always seemed ready to discuss character development off the clock if you want the kind of involvement. The VTT helps keep things easy play and visually appealing. Could go on all day about the joy of playing games with Penny, but I'll just leave it with as someone who has played over 30 years of D&D Penny keep me entertained with a game i've played forever.
Penny is awesome! We are 4 session in to a campaign, and she far supersedes what I ever could have expected from a DM. She is very inclusive, and safe, and never misses a beat. I love the voices, and the combat on FoundryVTT was awesome! Loving playing in this campaign, and excited for more to come!

How will character creation work
You will begin this adventure at Level 1. Please use the Character Creation Document (provided to you upon joining the game); it should hopefully answer most character creation questions. During our Session Zero we will be reviewing our characters in FoundryVTT together; however, it never hurts to have an idea of where you're going with your build. We can also discuss character stories, themes, etc. before the session and during Session Zero. If you have any questions the guide does not answer, please feel free to DM me to discuss.
