About the adventure
In Icewind Dale, adventure is a dish best served cold. Beneath the unyielding night sky, you stand before a towering glacier and recite an ancient rhyme, causing a crack to form in the great wall of ice. Beyond this yawning fissure, the Caves of Hunger await. And past this icy dungeon is a secret so old and terrifying that few dare speak of it. The mad wizards of the Arcane Brotherhood long to possess that which the god of winter’s wrath has so coldly preserved—as do you! What fantastic secrets and treasures are entombed in the sunless heart of the glacier, and what will their discovery mean for the denizens of Icewind Dale? Can you save Ten-Towns from the Frostmaiden’s everlasting night? This campaign will be using a modified Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden adventure. Modifications include focus on diplomacy/roleplay and episodic adventure format given by a group patron. This is a Drop In Campaign that is West Marches style with no fixed group of players. One Shot seekers are welcome to Drop In and join up with the regulars. There is no expectation that attendees become regulars. Show up when you wish.

What I provide
After signup and exchanging contact information you will receive an invite to our document library and wiki. You will also receive detailed instructions on how to create a character in Fantasy Grounds or D&D Beyond if you do not wish to use one of our Pregens. I will be bringing a Fantasy Grounds Ultimate license so you will not need to pay for Fantasy Grounds. I will be bringing all 5e campaign books in FG format and I will have all of my 1e – 4e materials on standby for lore and additional mechanics. We will also have a variety of campaign guides from DMs Guild that can be integrated into the campaign.
Gameplay details
This will be an episodic adventure set in a region of the Forgotten Realms. There will be a lot of exploring. You can slay monsters or talk your way around encounters. The choice is up to you. Material is generally PG-13 but may extend to Rated R. If it appeared in Conan, Beastmaster, The Barbarian Brothers, etc. Then it will likely be here. Open Door is our safety tool of choice.
