Adventure Overview: In the frozen wasteland of Icewind Dale, an eternal winter has settled over the land, bringing with it relentless cold and untold dangers. Dark forces stir beneath the ice, while the region’s desperate inhabitants struggle for survival. As an ancient evil begins to awaken, whispers of long-forgotten powers grow louder, and a shadow of fear looms over the land. The adventurers are called to confront the rising threat before Icewind Dale is swallowed by an unending winter.
Plot Summary: In a world where the sun no longer rises, and the howling winds freeze the soul, the adventurers must uncover the source of the everlasting winter. As strange occurrences mount and signs of a primordial force’s resurgence emerge, they will have to contend with savage creatures, fanatical cultists, and the unforgiving cold itself. The cult of Auril, the Frostmaiden, seeks to bring about the rise of an ancient entity that could plunge the entire realm into ice and death.
With the clock ticking and the cold growing more deadly by the day, these level 3 adventurers must band together, explore hidden ruins, and prevent a frozen apocalypse.

Panthea has done a great job DMing for our campaign! It had been a long time since I’d played an online RPG and she took the time to help me set everything up and answer all my questions. Our sessions are always a lot of fun and keep me invested in the characters and the story. She has a discord server where players can become more engaged if they want, and share their art projects or build their characters.
Panthea DM’d Curse of Strahd for me, my fiancé and a couple of other people we didn’t know. She provided a great experience, especially since some of us were newer players. It was easy and comfortable to ask questions about making a character, things I wanted to tie into my character, and how to play a TTRPG overall. We even asked to continue after Curse of Strahd!
I enjoyed playing with Panthea, I’m new to RPG, she made the story come to life and it was easy to understand and play. I would definitely recommend newbies and experienced gamers to play with her.
The death house was my favorite experience in the game.

If you're like me, you probs were nervous about committing to the whole paid game concept. I was too, and I immediately came and read reviews to scope out the vibe of each GM. Let me tell you, you will do no wrong joining a Panthea game. Panthea (or Madelyn) immediately set the tone in our interactions on my signing up for one of her games. She was extremely kind and supportive. Through her adventurous and exciting games, I have gotten to experience Foundry VTT firsthand. She has been very patient and helpful in my understanding of this system. Through Panthea, I have also joined a wonderful Discord service full of fun, positive, D&D-loving people that have always made me feel welcome. And it goes without saying that she is an amazing, trustworthy GM. She has worked with me on any questions or concerns I have had, and I have never felt unwelcomed or unwanted in her community. If you're looking for a D&D group to call home, one where you can have a great time and meet like-minded people with similar passions, then sign up for one of Panthea's games. You won't regret it!
Panthea was so wonderful to play with for our friend's event. She ran such a smooth game even though we had a couple new folks and no experience with the software! It was so fun to reconnect to distant friends with her quick and creative guidance. She handled our left fielders with grace in spite some of my doofus rolls!
Madelyn led a super fun, lighthearted, & immersive one-shot campaign for my birthday celebration. Our group largely consisted of some veteran table-top players, and Madelyn was absolutely incredible! I look forward to embarking on future campaigns with her, and highly recommend others do the same.

As a first time online rpg player (and as someone awful at using electronics) she has been incredibly patient and thorough as a DM. She always takes the time to walk people through anything they don't understand and helps with every step of the process. Our sessions are always a hoot and so much fun. Highly recommend.

Madelyn (aka Panthea) is a wonderful DM who cares about her players and strives to make gameplay enjoyable. She is patient and really helps new players learn and understand the game as the campaign progresses. If you are a new player, a veteran player, or somewhere in between, I think you will enjoy playing a campaign with Madelyn.

First time playing with Madelyn, and she really understands the importance of player agency and collaboration. She even just had a check in with me at the 10th session to see how the game was going. And to see if there was anything she could improve on or I wanted to see in the game! I am really happy that I was able to get into one of her tables! I definitely recommend her for new and veteran players!
