Icewind Dale: Midsommar

How to prepare

📹Prefer a video demo? Everything you need to get set up can be found here: https://youtu.be/_6SyrnIG9HQ Your #1 priority is to have a working microphone, headset, and a stable internet connection. If you have those, I am always happy to help you through everything else. You will need access to Discord for voice chat. This can be on your computer or mobile device. Video chat is optional. You will need free accounts on dndbeyond.com and roll20.net. If possible, I recommend you also install the browser extension, "Beyond20" which will make your life much easier by letting you use DnD Beyond, Roll20, and Discord together: https://beyond20.here-for-more.info/install If you need help getting any of these set up, please contact me and I will be glad to help you out.

What I provide

💪My Strengths: - Over 30 years experience gaming with every kind of group. - Reliable long-term games: Over 90% of my campaigns finish as scheduled. Cancelled sessions are very rare. - Flexibility and Communication so we can work together to tell a great story. - Tactical combat: I understand the rules but do not let them bog us down. - Storytelling: Sometimes the 'Rule of Cool' is how legends are made. ⚠️My Limitations: - I am not a voice actor, especially when it comes to accents. With this in mind, I work to make interactions memorable in other ways. - I can be forgetful. I keep notes to help alleviate this. I also give incentives to players who choose to help recap and take notes. You'll have access to a private Discord server with dedicated game channels and open channels to chat with other players. We will use maps and tokens via Roll20 to simulate the experience of playing around a table with friends. I will share all D&D sourcebooks via dndbeyond.com. I enhance the atmosphere with ambient music as well as image, audio, and video handouts. I do use AI to produce some of these, and they are clearly labeled as such.

Gameplay details

This is an R-rated adult game. There will be violence, sexual content and drug/alcohol use. We will be using the built in Safety Deck in Roll20 with Red (Stop), Yellow (Caution) and Green (GO/OK) cards.

How will character creation work

TLDR version: Character Sheets on DnDBeyond.com. Tokens, maps, etc on Roll20.net. Point Buy stats, average HP, standard equipment plus one Rare, two Uncommon, and 2000 GP. 💬I am happy to meet with you in private for a "mini session zero" to discuss expectations, rules, safety, etc. It's very important that everyone feels comfortable at my table. You may create your character before your first session or wait until after you've met the group if you prefer. Check DnD Beyond or Discord for the current party level. This is a very traditional D&D setting. Classic Fantasy tropes are always appropriate, like Knights ⚔️, Wizards🧙🏻‍♂️, and Dragons 🐲. What does your character want to achieve in Icewind Dale. Are you looking to make profit in the melting ice? Are you seeking ancient relics? Or, like many of the people, are you just tired of the winter and ready to have a little fun? You will build your character at https://www.dndbeyond.com/ - once you have joined the game you'll have access to my library. If you prefer to use Roll20's character sheet, you may, but you will have to bring your own books. Use either Point Buy or Standard Array for abilities. Average HP. Standard Starting Equipment plus one Rare Magic Item, two Uncommon Magic Items, and 2000 GP to spend on mundane gear. This can include standard healing potions for 50GP each. You may use any official, published D&D material. Unearthed Arcana, 3rd party material or homebrew require approval. This group is very friendly to approving them.
