Saviors, hear my call! Merciful, aid my plea! Gods, answer my prayer! Lady Frostkiss has returned and brings damnation with her. The mortals of this plane long for the sun which has been withdrawn by the mistress of merciless cold and winter. Far to the north lies the dwellings of Icewind Dale, home of the Ten-Towns residents. It won't be home for long. The divine embodiment of winter’s fury has withdrawn to this coldest corner of the world and now resides here, to the detriment of its denizens. Furthermore, she has cast a spell over the region. In a desperate attempt to appease the Goddess, the people of Ten-Towns have begun to make sacrifices in her name for respite from the cold. Some sacrifice food, others sacrifice warmth, and some more densely places have taken to sacrificing their fellow man. All this to a goddess who watches in isolation as her followers parade the region with no mercy or gratitude. Mad Cultists, the lot of them. Lady Frostkiss will turn this frigid tundra into a desolate winter wasteland with our frozen corpses being a testament to her sickening view of beauty. THIS. MUST. END. For the sake of all the innocence in these lands this forever winter must cease, and the sun must rise again, or we will all die in a matter of time. Most of us can't leave, Ten-Towns is all we have left, so I beg to any who will hear me whether they be God, Devil, Hero, or Villain. Put an end to this curse...put an end to The Rime of the Frostmaiden.
What an honor and pleasure it is to be back in the Dungeon Master seat once again and to be graced by magnificent players such as yourselves. I go by many aliases. NinjaboyPizzaboy, Rockabomb, CallMeLue, or even Lue. Whichever one tickles your fancy is fine with me. I've been DM-ing for 5 years and it's been my goal, nay, mission to take a group of well-suited adventurers to the cold north of Faerun to face the Frostmaiden Auril. This perilous journey will have you fighting above your weight class, have you making story altering decisions, and journeying the icy plains in search for a shrivel of hope that can make or break your survival, let alone that of all of Ten-Towns. So, if it's a fight you're looking for, bring everything you got. Send a picture of a cute ferret if you actually read this. If it's roleplay you're into, then let's make absolute cinema, if it's adventure you seek, then I open the world to your curiosity. I've worked long with this module and have crafted its stage ready for you all to take your place. I want YOU to join me so we can make it a story to remember. Icewind Dale isn't for the faint of heart. Many have been crushed in the Maiden's icy grasp. Do you honestly think you'll be the one to make a difference? Then I urge you to join my campaign Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden.
Something more official:
This campaign is a darker 5e Adventure which takes you from 2nd Level up to 9th or higher, depending on what you do. We'll be using the 2014 5e ruleset.
The road for this campaign is a difficult one. Many have come before you and those many have failed. You'll be punching above your weight class, and some things may seem brutal. Survival, tactics, and creativity will see you through.
Failure is always an option. Whether it be TPK, BBEG winning, or too many conditions not being met. The story can close on our adventurers and the whole campaign can and will be a bust if the risk proves insurmountable. (That's not to say I'm merciless. I'm here to see you win of course.)
I'm very generous when it comes to character creation, and I want you to make a background that can dig some roots for you in the Dale or even intertwine with the story.
The time frame I'm shooting for is Saturdays at 6pm CST. If you can't commit, then please don't burden yourself or others with joining up.
Not recommended for the new. Anytime someone new has tried to enter the Dale it's been bad, table round. Turns take too long, lives end too short. I can only hold your hand for so long. (READ YOUR CHARACTER SHEET!!)
