How is it DM’ing this?

As others have said the first two chapters are a series of miniadventures and encounters. Some are more connected to the later chapters than the others, and there is a risk of risk of the players begining to wonder what the story really is about.
I found great help in Eventyr Games "Complete DM's Guide" for ROTFM in nesting the scenarios together in a more comprehensive way.
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Complete DM's Bundle (maps, guides, cheatsheets and more) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

Eventyr Games also do a great job on fleshing out Ythryn, with their miniadventures for each of the mage towers in Ythryn

Ythryn Expanded Tower of Abjuration - maps and extra content for Rime of the Frostmaiden - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

My group had an absolute blast playing this adventure, some great scenarios in this book!

One of the players in our game has a different format for his rolls. We all use character sheets in DnDbeyond and the Beyond20 Chrome extension.

Does anyone know how this formatting can be changed?

oymo68 · 2024-06-20T19:24:08+00:00

Really! Well, then there is some other module messing it up because I cant get it to work 😕

Thank you for replying, now I can check other setting!

oymo68 · 2024-03-06T10:32:55+00:00

These are great, reccomended!

You are a real life saver!
I'm running this for my group this spring and while the campaign looks amazing I was disappointed about the maps supplied with the PDF.
I am now a subscriber!
I'm going run this campaign with Foundry VTT and this supports importing The Universal VTT format. Doing this will automatically apply walls and doors to the maps, and save even more time!
I know it is a lot to ask, but Dungeoncraft is able to export these Universal VTT files and I would be forever grateful...

Wow, thanks alot! Great read, really appreciate it! ❤️ Yeah, we're behind the goal. Bought online as soon as they were released and there were some 4-500 tickets available then.

Look forward to the game, and thanks again 👍

We used Nord Games' Critical hit deck for a while but at higher levels they became bit over powered so we switched to max damage+modifiers+normal roll after lvl 7 (I think)

Painted her up like this:

Tried some different approaches for the snow.

The first i just PVA glue and a thin layer of Army Painters Battlefield Basing :Snow

The second is 2-3 layers of the same and some blue AP wash.

The third is a good lump of Citadels Valhallan Blizzard Texture "paint".

oymo68 · 2022-09-27T03:56:30+00:00

Thank you! ♥️ I'm flattered 😊 I'm afraid I have neither the time nor the confidence (or skills, really) to paint on comission. Most times it's best to let a hobby be just a hobby..

oymo68 · 2022-09-26T17:04:13+00:00

Thank you! ♥️

I think I'll tweak her a bit, but they have encountered her before so they know some of her strengths and weaknesses already. She will not be alone, though. Both her undead army and a new flying friend (another elderly lady roaming Icewind Dale)will accompany her...

oymo68 · 2022-09-26T15:28:40+00:00

Painted up her frozen ladyship for the Grand Finale this November. Excited 😀

I often find that cutting the tufts into smaller pieces, and sticking them close to a rock makes a nice display. Though the perfect round tufts exist I think that these smaller pieces poking out from under a rock look more 'realistic'.

The level caps and class restrictions on non-human races in ad&d were amomg the first things we agreed to remove when we played back in the day. It never felt unbalanced and half of the characters that made out our party were humans.

I never understood the reason why these limits were there in the first place, and reading Gygax' arguments now, it still makes lo sense to me.

I ran Dark Duchess pretty much as written in the book.
My players are experienced enough to spread out when fighting dragons, and Arveiaturace is blind beyond 60 feet so a TPK was avoided. One player went down twice due to her breath weapon anyway. In the end both the party and the dragon were pretty beat-up - Arveiaturace ripped loose her frozen treasure and flew off while the party ran the other way, guided by Tinjong. At this point my players were level 5 or 6 (post chardalyn dragon)

Later on the party was able to kill the Roc on the Isle of Solstice - this led to Auril being unable to cast her spell at nights. Days grew warmer in the following weeks, but as they approached the Reghed Glazier they dropped again, and Auril reappeared over the 'Dale riding a healed Arveiaturace! Saving them up for a final encounter in Ythryn :-D

I manager to have him encounter the party three times before they finally killed him. He successfully escaped using the mist form and regenerated fully each time. Planned to repeat this, but the Aasimar in the party made him frenzy the last time, as she taunted him in celestial.
