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

Meet the Game Master
About me
Matt here! I fell in love with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1989. I was eight years old, over at my friend's house, and their older brother ran the game. Though the game only lasted three weeks, I was hooked on the story, world-building, and absolute joy of the game. However, I couldn't find anyone to run e-games or be a Game Master. So, I accepted that role and turned as many friends I could into players, then began turning any players I could find into friends. My first love is the story and characters, and combat keeps it interesting. For a long time, a company called White Wolf made my favorite games. I ran those for years and gave up on D&D because most people I found at the time liked the rules more than the story, and I could never find people who enjoyed both. Then, Critical Role brought everyone out of the woodwork! After watching their streams along with Relics and Rarities, I started to explore D&D games again. And I couldn't be happier about this! About a year ago, I started making steps to turn my 30 years of experience and passion for D&D into a full-time, sustainable career. In one year, I found terrific players and, by the grace of God, have been able to become a full-time storyteller in the TTRPG space. See you at the table! I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle and work through fantasy life together.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
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.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Mic is required, and a camera is preferred. You will need a free Discord, Streamyard, and D&D Beyond account.
What Matt brings to the table
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.

Safety
How Matt creates a safe table
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.
