About the adventure

In the northernmost reaches of the Forgotten Realms lies Icewind Dale, a brutal tundra where survival is a daily battle. Plunged into a permanent, supernatural winter by a vengeful deity, this frozen wasteland hides ancient magic and unimaginable horrors beneath its snowdrifts. Lead a custom party of heroes across the icy wilderness, explore the desperate settlements of Ten-Towns, and unearth ancient secrets buried deep within the glaciers. In a land where darkness reigns, your flame is the only thing keeping the world from freezing over. We'll be using 5.5 2024 rules on Beyond, the game will be hosted on discord, DDB and Roll20. It's story and RP based, with lots of awesome locations to explore, and freezing deadly combats. Sounds like your cup of ice tea?

About me

Welcome, Gents, Ladies, Adventurers, Heroes-to-Be! Ahoy, brave souls! Pull up a chair, sharpen your wits, and maybe your swords, because you’re about to step into worlds where steel clashes, magic burns, and choices echo through legend. I’m your GM, and my go-to system is DRAW STEEL — fast, cinematic, and heroic, perfect for players who want epic adventures without drowning in rules. Why You’ll Love My Games: Cinematic Action: Battles feel alive, every strike counts, and heroic moments leap off the page (or Discord, or Roll20, wherever we meet). Tactical Fun: Strategy matters, but clever thinking beats number-crunching every time. Accessible & Exciting: New to roleplaying? No problem. DRAW STEEL gets you into the action immediately. Veteran? Prepare to see your favorite adventures in a bold, fresh way. My Style: I mix story, strategy, and stakes with a dash of humor — yes, even while your party narrowly survives the latest goblin ambush. Think heroic cinematic fantasy meets old-school excitement: dragons, dungeons, and dramatic choices that make every player feel like a star. I care about party cohesion, teamwork, and moments that make everyone at the table (or screen) laugh, cheer, or groan in disbelief. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer or a seasoned hero who’s walked the Sword Coast a thousand times, my tables are welcoming, fast-paced, and designed for maximum fun. You’ll spend less time learning rules and more time living your hero’s story — daring feats, clever tricks, and epic moments included. So, polish your boots, check your potions, and prepare your wits — the dice are ready, the story is waiting, and your legend is about to begin. Add me on Discord: gmbear, and let’s draw steel together.
