Rime of the Frostmaiden

About the adventure

People come to Icewind Dale for one of three reasons: Seeking to get rich from the magical treasures of fallen empires yet unplundered here at Faerun's frigid northern frontier, seeking to hide away from outstanding debts/warrants in some place unforgiving enough that not many bounty hunters are willing to bother with the trip, or because you really like snow. People looking to get away are off to a good start - the winter's been unusually fierce and foreboding this year, which should give second thoughts to anyone chasing after you. People looking for treasure have their work cut out for them, as the Ten Towns all seem to be abuzz with a huge mess of rumors - stolen mead, devil cults, monsters lurking in the lakes - any one of which could be extremely profitable, extremely fatal, or probably both. People looking for snow have definitely hit the jackpot. Want to come seek your fortune? This is a brand new group at level 1 using the standard 15/14/13/12/10/8 stat array, or 4d6 drop lowest, but if you roll, you have to roll in game, and you have to keep what you get.

Additional Details

How to prepare

All you'll need is a character. Strictly speaking, even a mic is optional, although in practice nearly every player uses one.

What I provide

I guess I'll probably be making tokens for you, if you don't have your own preferred token tool? Mainly I'm going to be bringing you a game of D&D, on account of that's the service I'm selling.

Gameplay details

I emphasize player choice and letting the dice fall where they may. I'm not here to save you, just to keep the engine spinning, so your fate is in your own hands (and that of the dice). Icewind Dale isn't an extremely lethal adventure, though, so far nobody I've run it for has actually lost a character. I'm sure everything will be fine.

How will character creation work

Players should have characters ready by the start of the first session, but I encourage you to talk to each other about your characters in the Discord in advance.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
