Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden ā» New Player Friendly Campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
šæ Campaign š² D&D Beyond Character Creation š£ Voice Acting ā Beginner and LGBTQ+š³āš Friendly A bitter winter shrouds the region of Icewind Dale, apparently unending. As a group of adventurers, you must travel into the frigid wastes to determine the cause and, if possible, bring back the banished sun... An adventure that takes characters from level 1 up to at least level 12, Rime of the Frostmaiden: Icewind Dale is ideal for folks who are new to D&D or who have plenty of experience. It's a diverse adventure, with plenty of balance between exploration, combat and roleplay.
Games will be weekly or fortnightly, depending on group preference - weekly is preferable. Please ask if you have any questions! Like all my games, this is new-player friendly, but if you are more experienced, it's ideal for you too! Sessions will include a short break in the middle, and we will begin with Session Zero for character creation as well as discussions about rules and lines, but if you have character prepared and would like to use that, please feel free. The time is flexible - if you are looking at this and are in the US timezone, just message. I'm available throughout the night UK time and can be flexible for you. Please ask if you have any questions!

Additional details
How to prepare
I use a webcam and a mic, but webcam is optional for players. If you're new to the game, I'm happy to slowly introduce you to the game through Session 0 and the first couple of play sessions, but some reading of the rules is also useful. Since we're on a virtual tabletop, you can either roll digital dice (on D&D Beyond or on Roll20) or your own physical dice.
What I provide
I will provide some visuals on Roll20, and hopefully will bring an exciting collaborative story that we can all tell together!
Gameplay details
Players can expect an experience that blends roleplay and combat. I like to encourage inventive combat through roleplay - what does it look like when you do X, or what does Y spell going off sound like, and so on. I enjoy roleplay and seek to encourage it wherever possible - I will encourage you to speak in-character, to help conversations flow, but of course during combat there will always be some meta-discussion over tactics etc. The campaign deals with medieval-style combat, fantasy depictions of weapons and actions of violence, creatures with evil agendas and theme-appropriate violence, disease, economic hardship, and supernatural creatures. This is all presented appropriately for a PG-13 audience.

How will character creation work
During Session 0, we can create characters. I'm also happy for you to create a character in a D&D Campaign I will provide, although I will need to discuss ideas and options with you to make sure that what you have synergises with other players. Rime of the Frostmaiden uses Secrets, an extra character features which is best discussed during Session 0. I prefer Standard Array to rolled stats, although if a player really wants to use rolled stats I am happy for them to roll the stats on Roll20 during Session 0.
