About the adventure
The wind here doesn’t just bite your skin — it remembers. Welcome to Icewind Dale: a harsh, beautiful wilderness of creaking glaciers, aurora-lit nights, and secrets buried under permafrost. This campaign throws you into a frontier where survival and legend blur: rival fishing clans, monstrous things beneath the ice, and an ancient power stirring in the long night. Expect dead-straight stakes, breathtaking set-pieces, and moral choices that feel earned. Why play this table? Your DM is imaginative, experienced, and relentlessly fun. Expect scenes that paint themselves — cinematic chases across frozen docks, tense negotiations in candlelit taverns, and atmospheric exploration that rewards curiosity. The DM weaves player backstories into the world, runs tough but fair encounters, and is obsessed with making each player’s moment shine. Rules are used to enhance story, not box it in. Tone and style: grim-but-hopeful survival horror with room for dark humor, heroic triumph, and touching character drama. The table values player agency, collaborative storycrafting, and clear safety practices — so you can push tension without crossing boundaries. Mechanics matter, but storytelling and character choices drive the campaign forward.

About me
Back in the vibrant days of the late 70s, when long hair and bell bottoms ruled, a young adventurer stumbled upon a box of Dungeons & Dragons books. The enchantment of role-playing ignited his imagination, and ever since, his free time has been filled with Mountain Dew, Cheetos, and endless creativity. Come join me for some fun collaborative storytelling where we can dive into adventures, mysteries, horror, and all kinds of intrigue together!

Creating your character
Players should plan part of their backstory to answer the call of the north. Feel free to use creative character flavor. Create your characters in dnd beyond.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using Roll20, Discord and dnd beyond. You will need the beyond 20 extension and a computer. Tablets or smart phones won't work well. Note: I have chosen Roll 20 as the vtt because it is mid ranged. It has good flavor tools while not requing so many computer resources and bandwidth as foundry.
What World of Toad Gaming brings to the table
I will be prepared with creative play based on the Icewind Dale Campaign with many homebrew elements. Personal quests, voices, music and more.
Homebrew rules
We allow creative rule of cool character creation. Flanking, Perkins crit, fumble penalties, flanking, special magic item acquisition, potion as bonus action for self, action for others. Good role play can supercede rolls.
