About the adventure
Ironspine Keep is all that stands before a monstrous horde sent by the villainous lich Szass Tam. Your party must defend a section of the fortress walls from encroaching monsters and internal spies, or the region will fall to Szass Tam’s tide of death. - “Hold Back the Dead” is part of a yearlong celebration of Dungeons & Dragons and its 50th anniversary. The adventure is designed for four to six level 4 characters.

How to prepare
DM me for an invite to the Discord Server! YOU WILL NEED: A Mic, a Discord account, a 4th Level D&D Character, one common or uncommon Magic Item of your choice, and some Dice. Optional: A D&DBeyond Account and Webcam.
What I provide
All my sessions are run over Discord, and although I use Video, I do not require it of my players (meaning you can just use Voice Call if you'd prefer). I also use D&D Beyond, and can send an invite to any players who'd like to run/build their character through it, and use any of the shared source books I have on there as well. Gameplay wise I often do character voices (I'm not a professional voice actor so apologies in advance), abide by the Rule of Cool in most situations (you know, if it's cool enough), and love to use music (but will turn it off upon request, I'm a DM not a DJ). I always strive for a good balance of Roleplay and Combat, and a tone that ranges from light hearted to intense, but these are ultimately things set by my players. I will never force anyone to roleplay, or adhere to a certain level of seriousness. The point of the game is to have fun, so I encourage whatever style of play as long as we're all having a good time.
Gameplay details
We'll begin the session with a quick briefing on the safety tools I use, review the Consent Checklist, and make any requested additions. Once the game has concluded, time will be provided for any aftercare a player may need upon request. Feel free to suggest/request any additional safety tools at any point before or during the game. I prioritize the comfort of my players above all else.

How will character creation work
Feel free to build your own 4th Level Character with whatever method you prefer. I don't forbid any particular Ancestry or Class, and Homebrew is encouraged if nothing official fits what you're going for. You can also choose one common or uncommon Magic Item of your choice! Also of Note: Just because this is a Castle Seige/Big Battle adventure does not mean your character has to be combat oriented. There will be plenty of room for creative approaches in roleplay, and non-combat. Make whatever kind of character you'd find the most fun to play!
