About the adventure

Some Secrets Are Worth Dying For: North of the Spine of the World and west of the towering Reghed Glacier is a frigid expanse few dare to explore, let alone inhabit. For two long years, the god of winter's wrath has kept the sun from rising in Icewind Dale. Suspicion and desperation eat away at settlements plunged into perpetual darkness. And still greater threats may loom on the horizon. Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits the forlorn, flickering candlelight of Ten-Towns and the many bone-chilling locations that surround it. Character Secrets: Buried under thick furs and heavy cloaks, it's hard to tell friend from foe in the frozen streets of Ten-Towns. The denizens of Icewind Dale are full of secrets and surprises—some pleasant, some not so much. During character creation, each player may randomly draw a secret for their character—a skeleton in their closet that may be revealed as the story unfolds. More Monsters Than Ever The fauna of the frozen north has thus far remained unrecorded. Desolate and barren as it may seem, Icewind Dale is actually home to a huge variety of creatures. Encountering Winter's Wrath Navigating in a blinding blizzard, a fall into frigid water, an avalanche that threatens to bury you alive—the frozen wilderness is full of unique challenges and deadly hazards.

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.

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

How to prepare

You will need a free Roll20 account and discord account, a microphone, and some understanding of the D&D 5e rules. I also encourage a pencil and notebook to take notes.

What I provide

I have Roll20 Pro, which means we will be using dynamic lighting and you will have full use of all my available D&D compendiums. I will provide personalized character tokens, NPCs, enemies, maps, opportunities to roleplay and character development, and a community of other players via discord.

Gameplay details

During session zero we will go over players' lines and veils and what is expected of me as your DM. Digital Safety Cards available upon request. I have an open door policy, so if you ever need to speak with me privately, you are welcome to message me directly.
