About the adventure
Welcome! To summarize this campaign let me say it like this: D&D is more than a book, more than a module you need to follow. It's a path that both the players and the DM carve out with their own decisions. This will not be a world that you travel through, it'll be a world that you forge yourself and your decisions will leave a lasting impression on your surroundings and bring new things into the light. An evolving experience based on all your deeds, good or bad. The "first part" of this campaign will include most of "lost mines of phandelver" since it provides a good start especially for newer players. After that, if the group wishes to stay and continue to play together, I have some things planed out, but who knows how you guys will handle stuff and since i don't like to railroad, the story might grow in a way totally unexpected to me but that is fine! Depending on how much experience the party displays, the combat will adjust in difficulty but beware major battles will be hard and if unprepared might end up deadly! We will have a session 0 where we can talk about everything, Character creation, rules of behaving ( i am very open minded but maybe not everyone wants to touch every subject ) etc.

About me
As a Professional Dungeon Master, I specialize in crafting immersive and dynamic experiences that blend role play with thrilling combat encounters. My campaigns are known for their depth, storytelling, and the memorable moments they create for players. The most important thing for me is to make sure that YOU have a great time! We play this together and even though I will be playing your enemies, I will always root for YOU! I want to make sure that you will remember our Campaign fondly, even after years have passed, telling people what crazy stuff you managed to do or just lose yourself in your memories from time to time. Experiencing these things with a group of great people is what makes TTRPGs stand out compared to any other game, at least these are my thoughts on it. So gather your stuff adventurer, prepare yourself and let us head out into the unknown!

Can't recommend Xero enough - this was my first game of D&D so I was nervous about joining a table, but right from the start it has been a wonderful experience and so much fun! He encourages player creativity and is very patient and supportive. He uses lots of visual aids (maps, pictures of key NPCs and items) to make the game more immersive, and pitches the encounters at the perfect difficulty level so it is fun and exciting. I was also impressed with how he also dealt with some adverse player behaviour (very rare but it came up once) in a very calm and professional way that solved the issue but was minimally disruptive and satisfactory to the rest of the group. We have been playing for about 6 months now and I can't wait for each sessions as a highlight of each week. Highly recommend!!

So i have played a few games with this Dm and i like how he lets his players be part of the story. The little interactions we have between players and NPC are always fun. As far as his knowledge and and organization it is well put out and the games run very smoothly.

He’s very good at allowing creativity. He will always try to make sure everyone is following the same set of rules, be it player or monster. Allows for fun liberty, as well as helping other people decide how they want to solve the problem.

He is an amazing gm. Good sense of when to reel back in the chaotic energy and when to let it roll. Very knowledgeable about all of the mechanics and creates an respectful environment.

Xero is a phenomenal DM. I have been participating in his games almost every week for the last 6 months. He does a fantastic job of worldbuilding and really cares about each player’s characters and motivations. Sessions are always exciting, fun, and just the right amount of a challenge. Each session flies by. Xero injects each of his characters with a unique personality and realism which makes interacting with NPCs a lot of fun. Visuals are always fantastic, and the sessions are consistently a good time. He allows the world to react to player choices and character’s actions in a way that feels organic and interesting. I look forward to coming back every week!

Xero has been such a wonderful GM to play with! He expertly crafts and brings to life immensely fun and immersive worlds that are a joy to experience. He is also very patient and kind with new players. Highly recommended.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created in D&D Beyond. I prefer to use official content. If you have something what you really want to play from UA or 3rd party i can have a look at it and decide then. We will start at level 1, people can create characters in advance but i will also offer to create them togather! Ability scores can be rolled if the whole party wants and agrees to, otherwise we go by standard array / point buy. (we would roll 4 6-sided dice and keep the highest three)
After a cinematic battle the group lost the battle against an Ice Dragon and now finds themself in a frozen wasteland, in which they are forced to serve a Frost Giant King... What will your future hold?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure that you have the necessary tools that we use, as these are vital for the game! These are: Discord (free register) Beyond20 (free browser extension) DNDBeyond (free register) Roll20 (free register) A Microphone (Unfortunately not free)
What Xeronos brings to the table
Monster tokens and pictures for a better display of what you are dealing with! Maps, handouts & unique magic items! Music that fits the atmosphere! Over 1000+ hours of experience in online D&D! A player- and character-oriented approach, that might turn into special traits & feats! All the rule books and adventure-crafting tools we might need! Battle and world maps! A Discord server for voice chat, that also serves as a place to spent free time!
Homebrew rules
-Using an item like potions on yourself is a bonus action, using them on someone else is an action, if the item does not specify otherwise -Once you get to lvl 5, you may cast two spells in one turn (with your action and bonus action) as long as one is a 1st lvl spell. -There is no cap on fall damage -No setting specific feats or backgrounds (e.g. Dragonlance, Strixhaven etc) -I prefer to use official content. If you have something what you really want to play from UA or 3rd party i can have a look at it and decide then. -Ability scores can be rolled if the whole party wants and agrees to, otherwise we go by standard array / point buy. (we would roll 4 6-sided dice and keep the highest three) -Hit Points on Level Up: When you level up, you can either say "I'm taking the average" or roll your class hit die. If you roll, I will also roll, behind the screen. You can take either what you have rolled or the mystery DM roll. -Monsters, their abilities and stats can and will be altered so don't be surprised if common known enemies use new Technics.

Safety
How Xeronos creates a safe table
We will go over safety tools, consent, character creation and how the party will get together in Session 0. The direction of the game will adjust to the enjoyment of the players, meaning if a group loves combat more than rp, more combat might happen and vice versa. The game will shape itself to the things the group enjoys the most! I am always very open to constructive criticism, suggestions or general questions and talking. Feel free to send me a message after the game if you want to talk about anything!
