Lead a Clan to Victory! Raiding, Death, Survival....and Fun!

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Join this game for high combat and deep roleplaying! You will play a clansperson of the frozen north, having just survived a horrible winter where many died. You will help rebuild your tiny village, raid cities for supplies, and unite your clan to ultimately try and fend off the deep, dark horrors that next winter will bring. All materials are provided for this game and setting, including 13 Viking/Norse-themed subclasses that bring extra style to combat. There is no need to feel intimidated; my player community and I will walk with you and help you make the character you will have a blast playing. Can't wait to play with you! The game is targeted to start September 1st

I attended one of Matt's webinars connected to professional GMing, and I was very impressed with his professionalism, positive attitude, and organization. He also prioritized keeping the date even though the offering was free, and he was ill--which is beyond kind and extremely encouraging for folks in the SPG community. I'm confident that he treats his players with kindness, respect, and prioritizes their fun at his table and would happily play with / learn from him again in the future.

I went to one of Matt's seminars and had an amazing experience! He was extremely organized and welcoming. I really appreciated how he not only explained what to do, but also why it was important. If you're looking for ways to level up your GM skills, Matt's your guy!

Out of all the GM Webinars I've attended, this was clearly professionally made. Good presentation, good pacing, and mostly importantly knowledge behind it which I didn't find in others.

Additional details

How to prepare

Mic is required, and a camera is preferred. You will need a free Discord, Streamyard, and D&D Beyond account.

What I provide

We use physical maps with cameras. After session 0, you will make a mini on Heroforge. We will purchase the file, print it, and paint it so it is your custom representation on the map. We will use D&D Beyond, I utilize ambient music, and a mixture of styles to fit the scene we are portraying.

Gameplay details

We will do a survey for content consent; in our session 0 characters will be made together. We will go over content details and introductions and determine connections between the characters. Session one will start with the characters already having met and survived together. Our safety tools are sent using Discord. Note: We stream our games.

How will character creation work

We will use a standard array and have an optional ancestry system instead of race selection. You can use whatever you are comfortable with. We will create them on D&D Beyond and highly suggest the subclasses from Raiders Guide to Valika, provided in our discord.
