Icewind Dale
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
North of the Spine of the World and west of the towering Reghed Glacier is a frigid expanse few dare to explore, let alone inhabit. This icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. Auril the Frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter’s fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. Further, she has cast a terrible spell over Icewind Dale, to the detriment of most of its denizens. Will you be able to stop her, will you find ancient secrets deep within the permafrost or will you meet your end, frozen or ripped limb from limb by a yeti?

On my second campaign with Halen as GM and couldn't be happier! Halen is great at allowing player agency by combining neat homebrew mechanics with RAW and encouraging you to do that silly you thought of. A good mix of voices, knowledge of storytelling, Roll20 integration and ambient music is all well blended for an immersive online experience. Couldn't recommend Halen enough, especially for a beginner or somebody returning to the TTRPG space.

Halen is a great Game Master I recommend. He strikes a good balance between playing the characters and rolling dice. His voice repertoire is fun and he's good at improvising on the fly. I am looking forward to play with Halen in the future. Don't hesitate and find out yourself!

Halen has many qualities that make him a great GM. The most important of them all is that he is a very chill and friendly person and will be very welcoming to players of all sorts of backgrounds and experiences with the game. If you are looking for a GM who can craft a great world for the players to explore and have fun while doing it, then this is the GM for you. He’s been both a player and a GM in my group and always brings his all. If you are looking for a fun adventure to join then Halen is the perfect GM for you.

How he made every NCP unique with his voice acting
Rosa
Do you like fun voices? Quirky NPCs? A balance of combat, roleplay, and exploration? A DM who knows the rules but isn't afraid to shake things up for the fun of everyone at the virtual table? Someone who is genuinely nice, friendly, and supportive of everyone? Look no further. Halen has been a part of our group for quite awhile now, as both a player and a DM. He brings a lot to the table in both roles, and loves to encourage his players to play the game to it's fullest. He's open to any ideas you bring to him and willing to work with his players to make sure everyone's having a good time. Outside of the game, he's a great person to be around, and safe for those who may be a bit more hesitant to play with strangers for one reason or another.
Additional details
How to prepare
No webcam required, but a quality mic would be great. As well as a relatively quiet place to play as excess noise easily distracts me. And of course a Discord and Roll account!
What I provide
The game lobby, art, magic items, and various supplements I've collected over the years.
Gameplay details
I don't usually go into adult themes too heavily but elements are still present. A dose of magical drugs, a romance side plot, carousing table rolls during a feast. Of course if any uncomfortable situation arises, we'll move to the next scene as soon as possible.

How will character creation work
Level one characters with all WotC content green lit, homebrew/3rd party stuff is subject to review but will most likely be okayed. The party will start with a free feature, further house rules will be laid out in session 0. I'd prefer you to have a character idea ready for session 0 but it's okay to build it out on the spot, but will be required to be complete by the end of session 0, which we will all be working towards achieving as a group. That just about covers it, if you have further questions, shoot me a message, looking forward to rolling with you!
