House Rules Compendium

This adventure was supposed to be a bit darker and I would like to bring more of that into it if you ALL would be interested/OK with that?
Dark fantasy is as much a genre of fantasy as it is a genre of horror. Generally, any tale featuring both supernatural elements and horror themes might be considered dark fantasy, whether it’s a fantasy story steeped in horror elements or an otherwise realistic world that features a supernatural terror. Dark fantasy refers to fantasy worlds where grim themes, nihilistic plots, or horrifying elements inform a fantasy tale. Evil dominates a dark fantasy setting, with depravity being commonplace and life holding little value.
We can have a public or private conversation on these topics if you have concerns or would like certain aspects limited or not included at all. I have really played down the sacrifices and general life conditions in Icewind Dale and kind of regret it.

• Good does not always win.
• The lines between good and evil are blurred. Choices involve deciding which outcome is least bad.
• Corruption and suspicion flourish among organizations and individuals.
• Hunger and Fear can drive otherwise goodly people to evil actions
