The sun has not risen over Icewind Dale in nearly two years.
Auril the Frostmaiden grips the land in an endless winter, and the people of Ten-Towns are beginning to break.

Food grows scarce. Trade routes vanish beneath blizzards. Strange lights dance across frozen skies, while ancient horrors stir beneath the glacier ice. Some whisper that the cold itself is alive now.

And somewhere in the darkness… something watches.

I’m looking for 4–6 players for a long-term Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign set in the frozen north of the Forgotten Realms using Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. This game leans heavily into atmosphere, survival horror, mystery, and character-driven roleplay, with moments of brutal combat and hard choices.

What to Expect

• Grim arctic survival mixed with dark fantasy adventure
• Heavy immersion and strong roleplay focus
• Secrets, paranoia, and isolated frontier horror
• Dangerous wilderness travel and resource management
• A slow-burn mystery uncovering what truly stalks the Dale
• Memorable NPCs, desperate townsfolk, and morally gray decisions
• Occasional homebrew expansions and lore additions

The Tone

Think:

• The Thing
• 30 Days of Night
• The Terror
• Snow-covered ruins lit by dying lanterns
• The sound of something massive moving beneath the ice at night

Your characters are not epic heroes yet. You are survivors, wanderers, fugitives, scholars, mercenaries, and fools stubborn enough to travel north when everyone else is fleeing south.

And in Icewind Dale, warmth is more valuable than gold.

Looking For Players Who

• Enjoy collaborative storytelling
• Like roleplay as much as combat
• Can engage seriously with horror and tension
• Respect fellow players and help build atmosphere
• Understand that the environment itself is an enemy

If interested, send me:

• Name/Nickname
• Age (18+ preferred)
• TTRPG experience
• What kind of character you enjoy playing
• Favorite horror/fantasy vibe or story

Pray harder that it comes.”

The Pact and the Crown

A Western Direction Exalted 3rd Edition Campaign

Far across the waves of the West, beyond the Realm’s strongest grasp and hidden among storm-lashed archipelagos, wandering flotillas, and ancient coral kingdoms, a new nation has begun to rise.

Not an empire.
Not yet.

It is called many things by outsiders:

• the Tidebound Coalition
• the Moonwake Isles
• the Leviathan Compact
• the Heretic Current

Its people simply call it home.

For generations, the islands and coastal settlements of this region survived through fragile alliances between fisher clans, god-sworn navigators, beastfolk enclaves, ship-cities, and hidden Lunar sanctuaries. Raiders, hungry spirits, Lintha slavers, Fair Folk corsairs, and Realm opportunists kept the region fractured and afraid.

Then Leviathan emerged from isolation.

The ancient Lunar elder — one of the oldest and most terrifying beings still walking Creation — has finally chosen to act openly in the world again. Not as a wandering legend. Not as a hidden guardian. But as a ruler, protector, and architect of something entirely new.

Under his shadow, scattered peoples have united into the beginnings of a true nation.

And Creation has noticed.

The Premise

The players are members of a newly formed mixed Solar/Lunar circle tied to this growing coalition in different ways:

• champions of newly liberated islands
• emissaries between mortal and spirit courts
• wandering heroes drawn by Leviathan’s vision
• protectors of frontier settlements
• suspicious outsiders watching a possible catastrophe unfold

Some may believe in Leviathan completely.
Some may fear him.
Some may see him as necessary.

All of them now stand at the center of a political storm that could reshape the West itself.

Because the moment Solars begin gathering around a nation led by one of the oldest Lunars alive, every power in Creation starts asking the same question:

Is this the beginning of a new golden age… or the first step toward another apocalypse?

The Nation

The coalition itself is young and unstable:

• island principalities swear uneasy loyalty
• spirit courts bargain for influence
• sea routes remain dangerous and barely controlled
• beastfolk communities seek equal standing
• old pirate dynasties resist central authority
• gods accustomed to weak mortals resent growing independence

Leviathan’s presence keeps the worst predators at bay, but his rule creates problems of its own. He is ancient beyond mortal understanding. Patient. Enormous. Mythic. Even when merciful, he is still something closer to a living force of nature than a king.

Many fear what happens if the nation becomes dependent on him.

Others fear what happens if it doesn’t.
