Rime of the Frostmaiden

Rime of the Frostmaiden

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits the forlorn, flickering candlelights of civilization known as Ten-Towns and sheds light on the many bone-chilling locations that surround these frontier settlements. Beginners more than welcome!! I like to run my games according to the group. If its a lot of stabby people then we can have more hack and slash combats and dungeon crawling. If the group is more diplomatic then we can have a lot more social npc interactions. Every table is different so I try to accommodate as best as possible. I try to have maps, music and sound effects for most situations, but some sessions may have a bit of theatre of the mind. As for homebrew character stuff, I don't go too crazy with it but a small change here and there can be made if need be.

Game style

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

I've been a spectator of DnD mostly, but now a new player and wanted to hop in to a campaign right away. I reached out to Jason about a current running campaign and he let me join in and was amazingly helpful with helping me get familiar with Foundry VTT and answered any questions I had. I did not really know what I was doing, playing a high level new-to-me class/character, but Jason showed so much grace in the process and made the sessions fun. I highly recommend him as a DM. :)

A Great Experience! I recently had the privilege of being part of a Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign led by Jason, and I can confidently say it was one of the best tabletop experiences I've had. It's clear that Jason puts a lot of time into preparation and cares about the players experience. The encounters were balanced and challenging, but fun. What really stood out to me was how Jason encouraged everyone at the table to be involved, making sure each player had their moment to shine. Whether you were the quiet type or the spotlight seeker, he made sure your character had an opportunity to contribute. I personally was on the quieter side and was still comfortable playing my character and Jason always made it easy for me to try my best at the role play and exploration aspect of the game. Combat encounters were challenging, and the pacing was well-managed. Jason balanced combat with roleplay and exploration. Our group tended to be more combat focused, but we had plenty of opportunities to explore further. Every session left us excited to come back for more and I can't wait to see where the next campaign leads us. If you're looking for a Dungeon Master who can create an enjoyable experience, look no further than Jason. I Highly recommend!

I like this DM a lot. he is patient, keeps his cool, knows the game, and allows any official character creation material. I definitely recommend him, especially if you use Foundry. I'll give him an 8 for likely to recommend to my friends. We did have technical issues (foundry and the DM's own discord) so were unable to finish the session. This is not the DM's fault but was still very frustrating.

DM provided great communication and clear instructions pre-game. Was flexible where warranted - rule of cool. We used Foundry, which is awesome. Characters were created in DNDBeyond and DM has all the modules - which sounds small, but you really notice when a DM doesn't have 'em. There were no limits on what we wanted to try. DM set encounters properly for the party's level.

Jason knows what he is doing, right now the amount of reviews and games played is a WILD understatement of what this powerhouse of a DM can do! Jason has masterful control over the mood of the game, comprehends the rules as well as any other dm and makes you feel like you have been missing out for not signing up sooner Definitely recommend <3
