The Endless Rime

About the adventure

North of the Spine of the World and 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. This icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. 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 runs from level 1 all the way to level 12

Gameplay details

Survival Horror Body Horror Psychological Horror We will go over safety tools and consent in Session 0. I regularly check-in with my players and tailor the adventures to meet their needs and ensure everyone has an amazing experience. A typical session will be everyone joining the Discord voice channel, and then joining the Foundry VTT link a few minutes before the start to load the map and have some time for social chat. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploration and Roleplay will be large portions of the game as well as Combat, but these things will be tuned to meet everyone's needs. I like to play games with a healthy mix of role-playing and strategy, keeping time for both serious, dramatic moments and silly, humorous story beats. You can expect the game world to be fully developed, everywhere you go will be saturated in narrative, animated artwork, cartography, voice mods and atmospheric music. My games are a safe space for everyone involved, which we can go over with Lines & Veils. The most important goal for me as the GM is to make sure everyone has a great time playing. In a standard 3 hour game you can expect to have a 20-minute break around mid-session, and quick bio breaks whenever needed.
