D&D Rime of the Frostmaiden I 2024 update FREE Rules
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Icewind Dale is a desolate place. Long oceans of snow that hide untold horrors and wonders alike beneath its unmoving drifts. From the Ten-Towns to the lost city of Ythryn, this adventure has a mix of everything: interesting people and their stories, dangerous monsters and even gods that walk the earth. This is a wide-ranging campaign, perfect for new players just getting their feet wet and for veteran players interested in trying their skills in a new and unique setting. A non-linear mystery structure means that the storyline is in the player's hands and our pace! Dangerous characters and survival challenges mean that it's unlike any other campaign, and my hands on approach means that each campaign will be tailored to our specific party's interests!
Game style
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.
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.

What I provide
Free 5e content on D&D Beyond means that you get access to the 2024 rules for absolutely free! D&D Beyond has come a long way, and the new layouts and maps are quite useful. Alongside discord plugins, it means that DnDB is the right place to use for my campaign. I have a flexible "yes, and" (and 'no, but') approach, and will look for opportunities to roleplay everything within world, including character motivations, hints to things the players know outside the game inside the world, and ambient music. Combat for me is something I really enjoy, coming from a Warhammer 40k background, though I am happy tailoring to the party's preference. I do embrace the rule of cool, rules are always secondary to the story, and want to ensure that each player gets a chance to shine and show their own prowess!
