Looking for 4 more players for a 6player group. Going to run "Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden"
❄ The Premise
In the frozen region of Icewind Dale, the sun has not risen in over two years. The goddess Auril the Frostmaiden holds the land in an eternal winter. Ten struggling towns cling to survival while fear, superstition, and strange forces grow in the dark.
You will begin as small scale adventurers navigating local tensions and survival challenges. Over time, the story expands into something much larger and stranger.
Themes include:
• Isolation
• Moral ambiguity
• Survival
• Folk horror elements
• Slow burn mystery
• Hard choices with consequences
⚔ What Kind of Game I Run
Tone
Serious but not humorless. The world reacts logically. Consequences are real.
Difficulty
Challenging. Combat will not be scaled to guarantee victory. Retreat is sometimes the smart move.
Roleplay vs Combat
Roughly 60 percent roleplay and exploration, 40 percent combat. Expect social tension, secrets, and NPCs with conflicting motivations.
Character Expectations
• Motivated to engage with the world
• Willing to cooperate with the party
• Not built to sabotage group cohesion
• Backstories tied into Icewind Dale where possible
