The Silence of Snow: Icewind Dale [Play by Post]
"The sun no longer rises over Icewind Dale. The cold is endless. The silence is deafening. Something is watching."
About the adventure
The Ten-Towns have suffered under a relentless, unnatural winter. Auril the Frostmaiden, goddess of winter’s cruelty, has cast her spell over the land, sealing it in endless night. But whispers travel with the howling wind—of lost magic, buried horrors, and a doom far greater than the cold. You are among the few willing—or foolish enough—to brave this frozen wasteland. Will you uncover the truth behind the Frostmaiden’s curse? Or will you vanish, another frozen soul lost to the storm? What to Expect: ❄️ An Arctic Survival Horror Adventure – Blizzards, hunger, and isolation are as deadly as any monster. 🦉 A World of Ice and Secrets – Beneath the tundra lie forgotten ruins, buried nightmares, and eldritch mysteries best left undisturbed. 🌫️ A Battle Against the Cold—and the Mind – The eternal night is driving people mad. Will you hold onto your sanity? 🧊 Frostbitten Foes & Ancient Evils – The wilds are home to frost giants, duergar, and creatures from beyond the veil. ⚔️ Faction Conflicts & Hard Choices – Desperate people do desperate things. How far will you go to survive? 🌙 The Frostmaiden’s Curse Looms Over All – Her presence is everywhere. Defying her will not go unnoticed. This is a grim, atmospheric, and survival-driven campaign where the cold is relentless, hope is scarce, and death comes swiftly to the unprepared. Do you have the strength to endure?

While Liza "allowed" a dirty stinkin' Ranger into our campaign, we, the rest of the party, have had a great time. Liza is a great story teller, using character backstories and shenanigans to fuel story beats to which we, as the main party, and the...ranger...have used to build a great bond. I look forward to our Saturday night campaigns, and cannot wait for the next. Even if that means I have to break my back carrying that damnable bow wielding wuss.
Liza was great in our first session!!! We still have some room in the Realms of horror campaign as well. She effectively Managed different dynamics between serious spellcasters, Paladin Tieflings and a fun loving bard who likes to overuse pop culture references. Helping us to create some productive team dynamics. Really fun
