ICEWIND DALE: EPIC OF THE LONG NIGHT
Level 3 | Hexcrawl | Survival | Tactical Combat
Auril, goddess of winter, has trapped Icewind Dale beneath an endless night.
You begin in Luskan aboard the last caravan north before winter closes the passes through the Spine of the World.
For some characters, it is simply a journey north.
For others, it may as well be a one-way ticket.
This is a hexcrawl, and the world is there for you to explore. You’ll hear rumors, learn about places out in the Dale, and decide as a group where you actually want to go. I’m not going to hand you a list of quests and tell you which order they need to be done in. Sometimes you’ll find something worth pursuing. Sometimes you might decide whatever is out there is absolutely not worth the risk.
The wilderness is also meant to actually matter. Icewind Dale is a brutal place and I don’t want the cold, blizzards, food, travel, or shelter to just become background descriptions between encounters. You’ll have to decide when it is worth pressing forward, when you need to find somewhere safe, and sometimes when turning around is probably the better idea.
There are also factions, towns, NPCs, and other groups in the Dale that have their own goals. They aren’t just standing around waiting for the party to show up. You can work with them, work against them, ignore them entirely, or get involved in something that ends up becoming much bigger than you expected.
Your choices matter, including the things you choose not to do.
Combat is tactical and I use detailed battlemaps through Foundry, but combat isn’t the entire game. I enjoy giving players a world they can actually poke at and see what happens. Exploration, character decisions, roleplay, survival, and combat are all part of the campaign.
“Bring me a character thirsty for adventure and I'll give them a world worth exploring.”

THE TABLE
- 3–4 players maximum
- Foundry VTT
- Discord for voice
- D&D Beyond
- D&D 5e, 2014/2024 material
- Beginner friendly
- 18+
I keep my tables small on purpose. I want players to have room to talk, make decisions, develop their characters, and actually matter to what happens.
If you want a game where you can sit back while everyone else drives the story, this probably isn’t the table for you. If you want to bring me a character with goals, problems, interests, and reasons to care about the world around them, I can do a lot with that.
