Do you think it would be weird to ‘transplant’ Icewind Dale into the Eberron setting?
Considering blending it into the Frostfell region, tying the new Mail quest on @DnDBeyond to the Wayfinder Foundation, etc. in my opinion, the Frostfell is too remote. I'd place Icewind Dale on the isle of Orthoss in the Lhazaar Principalities, where at least you have outposts of civilization.

As a fan who started playing #dnd when I was 12, it is surreal to see my art on an official book. I’m so proud of the work I’ve been doing lately! You did wonderfully chilling work on the coldlight walker!

But it is about to eat that sweet little bunny! 😂 Maybe the bunny is malevolent.

The wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing is not to be toyed with. Here’s some fun trivia: “Wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing” was not this stupid monster’s original name. In module S3, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, where it first appeared, it was called “cute little bunnyoid on a stump.” The 1E Monster Manual II renamed it. #wotcstaff

…
We need more "bunnyoids."
I have an idea to flash by you 😂

This adventure was written in a way where you can say, well I don’t like this part, not gonna do it, and it really doesn’t hurt the adventure as a whole. This feels like they are almost three short distinct adventures that tie into a cohesive whole.
— NewbieDM (@newbiedm) September 6, 2020
I think that's fair to say, yeah.
There's a level of modularity to Rime of the Frostmaiden that the writing team really delivered on, while allowing for continuity and cohesive through lines. I particularly like the campaign's opening sequences.
We'll see if y'all agree. 🙂

Complete side note: One of my favorite general setting bits is guidance for finding NPC spellcasters (who aren’t statted) in Ten Towns.
That’s helpful for DMs, I’ve found. Not sure who added that in (I’d guess Chris Perkins but am not sure), but it’s a simple winner. And bonus, some guidance on finding common magic items for those players who crave a magic weapon but haven't managed to find one. 😂
— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) September 6, 2020
Yup. A quick check on "Is there an NPC spellcaster to be found here? How many?" Up to you to decide who and what, but also gives you NPC statblock guidance on what sorts of spellcasters can be found.
That goes a long way when your party suddenly needs a remove curse. 😛

Contrary to popular memery, we do really dig stories. 🙂

Ok.
I think the isolation is making them lose it.
Rime was written before the pandemic, so … yeah.— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) July 24, 2020
wait, is it a spell scroll?
could wizards copy it down Just…I…um…*tries to wake up from this player chaos nightmare of delight*…oh well.*starts prepping the Tarrasque* Woah is this a real thing???
