About the adventure
Icewind Dales . Remastered , Gritty and Horror based Frost Maiden (online, 5e) Monday GMT 7pm to 10pm Number of Players: Currently looking for 2,3 or 4 players age 18+ System: Dnd 5e How we will Play: - Foundry VTT for Maps, Music, Tokens and Dnd beyond for Character sheets -Discord for Voice in game and out of game communications -This means players will need to have a good mic and a place with limited outside noises. Camera is optional but I've always thought it adds to the fun. - Each Sessions will be approximately 3 hrs. New players absolutely welcome! This is a great campaign for those still learning the ropes of D&D 5e. D&D has always been more than combat and dungeon diving to me, so role-play is really important. I bring many years of experience and a lifetime of storytelling to the table, as well as a commitment to the game. An in depth session 0 leaving no grey areas in the game . Lots optional rules which we can use making combat and exploration very epic .These will make the game more lethal. Character creation using ONLY PHB2024 , Tashas , Bigbys , Mordenkainens , Fizbans via DND beyond in which i have all the books . NO other realm books such as ebberon etc I always make my games a very indepth story , love backstory and many interweaving plots and puzzles All players will start with a Session 0 , a rich background , a nice piece of art , oh did i tell you , you start off in the worlds worst prison ?

Chapter One: Cold Justice They say the wind in the Icewind Dale can flay a man’s skin from his bones. Turns out, it’s the least cruel thing up here. Every day for the past 5 years You wake up on stone colder than a taxman’s heart, shackled wrist to ankle in a cell carved from the mountain’s gut. No fire. No light. Just the stink of old blood and older regrets. The guards don’t speak. They don’t need to. The iron doors do all the talking—when they slam shut, they say, “You’re not leaving.” You don’t remember if you did it. Maybe you did. Maybe you didn’t. Doesn’t matter. Truth’s a luxury for warmer places. Here, in the bowels of Revels End, the truth’s just another corpse buried under the snow. They call it the most dangerous prison in the Forgotten Realms. A place for monsters too cruel for the Underdark, too mad for the Nine Hells. You? You’re just trying to get home. Or maybe you’re chasing something worse—redemption, revenge, or the kind of peace that only comes at the end of a blade. But nothing’s simple in the Dale. The cold gets into your bones, into your thoughts. Makes you wonder if you’re still you. Or if you ever were. Outside, the wind howls like a dying god. Inside, the inmates are worse. Murderers, warlocks, exiled drow, and one bloke who claims he once ate a dragon. Raw. You’ve got two choices: rot, or claw your way out. Through steel, through snow, through whatever gods-forsaken horrors crawl in the dark between the glaciers. Your stint is over and have made it out? Well, then the real trouble starts.

How Subitai / Gary creates a safe table
Arc-focused session focused Prep with an emphasis on final encounters. Solid combat, with some additional goals to avoid "stand here and punch each other" encounters. Character-driven narratives, bringing backstory to the fore. Funny Voices. This game does have character race restrictions and no UA. A Digital Consent Checklist will be sent to each player before Session Zero. Session 0 will be used to discuss the code of conduct and to talk about a blanket consent checklist for the group. It will then launch directly into character creation and build the backstory for the adventuring party, as well as ties to other characters. At the end of each game session, we will hold an aftercare talk about the session and how everyone feels about it. After each arc, each player will be sent a feedback survey to check in on the enjoyment level and comfort level of the game, as well as ask what each player wants to see going forward.
