Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. Brave the Frigid North

About the adventure

This game is for anyone with a love of fantasy, and a desire to bring amazing stories to life together at the table. Prior experience with Dungeons and Dragons is not a requirement, I am very comfortable with teaching new players. All are welcome! I ask that any experienced players be willing to keep in mind that new players often need a little guidance, and a little extra time. This campaign will be an open world survival horror adventure set in a frozen wasteland known as Icewind Dale. The majority of the population of this arctic, northernmost region of the Sword Coast live in a small conglomeration of settlements known as Ten-Towns. The people here have been besieged by a never ending, bone chilling winter. The cold months have always have always been long and harsh, but this never ending rime is a nightmare, and the people of Ten-towns are desperate. This campaign will feature player secrets and backstory assistance to allow every player to better engage with the world and weave your stories into this world. Our games will be accompanied by well curated music, custom one of a kind maps made by myself, with premium tokens and art for NPCs and locations.

How will character creation work

Character creation should be done prior to session zero, if possible. You can either roll for stats or take point buy. I reserve the right to modify stat point totals to maintain balance, but I will always balance upwards rather than nerf high rolls. We will be starting at 1st level with a free "half-feat". More info on this at session zero. Character creation will be managed through D&Dbeyond
