How to prepare

A webcam & microphone with good internet connection. Accounts for Roll20, Zoom, Discord and D&D Beyond. Have a character in mind that can fit the theme of the campaign but we can build them together if needed!

What I provide

This campaign is not just about The Icewind Dale. This campaign is about your characters, why they decided to enter this dangerous area and how their personal goals can be achieved in it. I will be spending the time leading to the main game, asking you questions about your characters and building the campaign to make sure you feel like your characters have a real and personal purpose. Regarding the sessions themselves, expect all three pillars of play! You’ll be given the chance to meet a whole bunch of wonderfully memorable characters of which I will be providing the very best voices I can do for them! I will introduce unique, exciting and dangerous encounters that aren’t always just about taking the enemies down to 0HP! (Even though, that is really fun too and will happen occasionally) and of course I will be open to any kind of creative play! The Icewind Dale is filled with incredible locations with their own little mysteries to explore and we may even be exploring things beyond the lands themselves! We will be running our sessions on Zoom and using Roll20 for maps and background music. I will be setting up the campaign on D&D Beyond, to make it easy for me to pay attention to your character sheets!

Gameplay details

Session 0s are extremely important to me. It gives me an opportunity to speak to my players about what to expect in the game itself, anything they don’t want to see hear being depicted and getting an understanding of play style. There will always be an opportunity for players to pause the game if I’d gets too intense and we will respect those moments as player safety always comes first.

How will character creation work

This will be done before the first session and can be done through the week leading up to the main session. This will give me a chance to talk to you about your characters, their goals and how we can tie them into the main story. They will begin at level 1 or 2 depending on the players as a group (will be decided on session 0) and will continue until about level 9/10. Which is considered the sweet spot for D&D! Stats will be done via The Dungeon Dudes standard array: 17, 15, 13, 12, 10, 8. This array allows for characters to have one clear strength and weakness while allowing a more flexible approach to potential builds, all the while making sure that each character is equal from the start.
