PbP Icewind | Level 7-12 | Active+Visuals Play by Post
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
If you haven't played Rime of the Frostmaiden- it's a classic! By the name of it, you'd think the biggest problem in Icewind Dale was the Frostmaiden and the Everlasting Winter... but before all that, the book has you go through a long plot Levels 1-6. .... Forget that! That just risks people leaving before we get to the juicy stuff! Let's jump right into the main quest where the party will take down Auril the Goddess from levels 7 onwards. 7 is really a prologue, so plan your characters accordingly! My game has visuals w/ your token imported into Foundry so I can send you battlemaps, and a lot of thick description. You decide your level of involvement- I have players who post once a day and those who post more.

Doc is an imaginative and engaging roleplayer. Conceptually creative, knowledgeable about the rules, and he gets excited about the game. I like that I can go at my own pace, with some workdays going slow or a combat on my days off.

Would certainly recommend Doc as a GM! Playing in PbP platform and he is very engaged, narrates a unique story and is very dedicated to his players and making sure everyone is having a good time.

Doc offers an original premise to a published campaign that is refreshing to see. He is very responsive and respectful of his players and is very approachable in setting you up for the game. The game offers a relaxing creative space that ties back closer to what a regular game would like but in a pbp format.

Doc is a super DM! I've been in a PbP game, and he's very quick to respond when players post a move or a question. I like that he doesn't go full homebrew but also doesn't mindlessly copy the book adventures. Thick descriptions, a lighthearted approach, and a good team of players helps a lot! Taught me how to use Tupperbox and Avrae, and now I'm going to build my dream castle!

What I provide
I roll and place tokens on VTT, from my own maps and the book's, so that I can update you with images, alongside any images we throw in chat that evoke the mood. Any handouts etc. are kept in Discord.
Gameplay details
Lines/Veils: Show kindness to pets. Pet animals can be 'harmed' by me in combat, but if they reach 0HP they simply run away. Lightly flirting with NPC's is understandable only if you are attempting to move a quest forward. In the same vein, treat all players like they are friends/family: Build clean relationships. We protect minors- even the thieves. If interrogation involves torture (a rare occurrence, ex: not letting an evil wizard 'rest'), I will intervene and fade-to-black. Rules in the Discord, but we're pro everyone, and super-friendly-town in my chat server.

How will character creation work
We start at Level 6 with 2024 rules. Just one +1 weapon, and other than that the magical items will be doled out soon enough. A short 'ban-list' against multiclass hexblades, multiclass paladins, and most multiclasses that aren't just dips.
