Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
As you run through the snow covered land with your allies, you can hear the howl of beasts on the hunt while from the north a large shadow reveals the presence of the large monster flying through the skies. You've already faced giants, orcs and cultists, but as the hours pass by, a new enemy reveals itself. The night comes and with it an intense cold that seems capable to freeze the blood in your veins. In Icewind Dale, any mistake can mean an icy death for you and your companions. Fight for your lives and solve the mystery of the Frostmaiden.
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.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
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.

How to prepare
All players need a Roll20 and a discord accounts for the game and, since we'll be playing online, a good enough mic is essential. It's also important to read the basic rules of D&D 5e before the game so that things flow better, and beginner players can feel free to message me with any questions they may have.
What I provide
I have all the official material necessary for the game prepped in Rol20 and some extra content I'll be creating for the game as well.

Content Warnings: Fantasy violence, possible character death This is a classic medieval fantasy game, and as such, combat and traps are going to be present. These may lead to character death, depending on the players' choices and/or luck on the dice rolls. Other themes may be present as well, such as alcohol, drugs, etc, but these will be discussed during session 0 and will only be present if all players are ok with them. Some themes are forbidden and may result in a player's expulsion if insisted upon: Homophobia; transphobia; sexual violence; unnecessary violence or betrayal of other player characters (PvP).
