Icewind Dale has become trapped in a perpetual winter. Ferocious blizzards make the mountain pass through the Spine of the World exceedingly treacherous, and this land has not felt the warmth of the sun in over two years. In fact, the sun no longer appears above the mountains, not even in what should be the height of summer. In this frozen tundra, darkness and bitter cold reign as king and queen. Most dale residents blame Auril the Frostmaiden, the god of winter's wrath. The shimmering aurora that weaves across the sky each night is said to be her doing-a potent spell that keeps the sun at bay. Dalefolk live in a scattering of settlements known as Ten-Towns. The drop-off in caravans coming from the south and travel between settlements in this never-ending winter has left everyone feeling isolated. Although each town has resolved to appease the Frostmaiden with sacrifices of one kind or another, no respite from winter's fury seems forthcoming. For adventurers such as yourselves, Ten-Towns is a place to test one's mettle and, in the spirit of heroes who have come before, leave one's mark on this frigid, blighted land. DM: I have been DMing 5e for several years now, both on Roll20 and for my in-person group. My goal as a DM is to run games that are fun and fair for everyone involved. I work hard to make sure every PC has the opportunity to shine and that every player feels comfortable in the group. I tend to be a pretty relaxed DM, definitely a "rule of cool" type, but the rules do exist for a reason! This is a Survival/Isolation Horror campaign, though the beginning portion does take place in a relatively civilized area. Please be aware that being a horror campaign, it will deal with some pretty dark themes occasionally. With that, this is an 18+ game. That being said, any serious horror story needs room for humor and I'm sure there will be plenty of it. We will be using Roll20 for maps, character sheets and dice rolls. The game is currently listed as Video and Voice, however, I am aware that not everyone is comfortable with video, so we will decide on that aspect as a group. We will use Discord for audio, and if the group agrees, possibly video as well. The price for this game is set at $15 per player, per session. Session 0 is free, to make sure you feel the group is a good fit. After that, payment is due 24 hours before the start of each session and can be paid via PayPal. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. If you think you might be interested in joining the game, please see the listing for more information and to submit an application or any questions you might have! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/262084/icewind-dale-rime-of-the-frostmaiden" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/262084/icewind-dale-rime-of-the-frostmaiden</a>
