About the adventure
The sun is dead in Icewind Dale. Auril’s endless winter has swallowed Ten-Towns in darkness, hunger, and fear. Supplies are thin. Trust is thinner. Every step beyond the firelight could be your last. This is a cinematic survival-horror campaign of frozen secrets, desperate choices, dangerous alliances, and ancient things buried beneath the ice. The world will remember who you save, who you betray, and what you sacrifice to survive. Heroism is possible. But in Icewind Dale, it always has a cost.

About me
Hi folks! I’m Bauric, and Dungeons & Dragons has become one of the great joys of my life. Maybe you feel the same way. Maybe you’ve been playing for years, collecting dice you absolutely do not need, and building characters you may or may not ever get to use. Or maybe you’re brand new, a little curious, and wondering if this whole “roll dice and pretend to fight goblins” thing is actually for you. Either way, I think we’ll get along just fine. At my Table, I try to run games that feel welcoming, cinematic, and full of memorable moments. I love a good creepy mystery, a dramatic villain speech, a desperate last stand, and the kind of ridiculous table joke that somehow becomes permanent campaign lore. As a Dungeon Master, I care most about making sure everyone feels comfortable, involved, and excited to come back. New players are always welcome at my table, and experienced players will still find plenty of room for big choices, dangerous fights, strange discoveries, and character moments that actually matter. I mostly run D&D 5.5 / 2024 rules, with 5e compatibility where it makes sense. The rules matter, but the story and the people at the table matter more. Think I might be your kind of DM? Come join a game, send me a message, and let’s roll some dice.
