Rime of the Frost Strahd, Ravenloft-Icewind Dale in Talespire
Rime of the Frostmaiden converges into Ravenloft and the Curse of Strahd. Play these two campaigns in one mega rich saga, that we as a party create.
About the adventure
Night has fallen upon Icewind Dale, and the sun hasn’t risen for two years. The frozen north’s thin connection to the Sword Coast has been cut off and now the people of Ten-Towns and the Reghed tribes must fend for themselves. A divine force has locked the land in frozen night. Rumors whisper of shadowy figures forging a devastating weapon in the mountains. Remnants of ancient power awaken deep beneath the ice. Cut off from the outside world, the people of Ten-Towns must rely on themselves to face the dangers upon and below the frozen tundra. The characters are people of Ten-Towns, either natives of the land or travelers who arrived years ago and stayed. You and the rest of the people of Ten-Towns have been hardened by the brutal cold of the land but the eternal night eats away at everyone. No heroes are coming from the Sword Coast to save the people of Ten-Towns. Only you can save yourselves. Combines Rime of the Frostmaiden which is very sandboxy, for at least the first half of the adventure there's a lot of places to go and a lot of things to do. For the second half, there's some very impactful choices the party can make that completely changes the adventure and ending. It's got a lot of PVE and survival horror themes. It's got a lot of new cool monsters. Curse of Strahd is a 5th edition D&D adaption of the award-winning 1983 Ravenloft module for AD&D, written by Tracy and Laura Hickman. In the years since, the original has gained a reputation as one of the greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventures ever. And then combine that with Curse of Strahd which uses recurring elements inspired by classic horror literature and gothic fairy tales. The players find themselves drawn into the cursed land of Count Strahd von Zarovich, a terrifying figure hidden behind a romantic, noble veil. Once there, they must contend with the horrors of Barovia – misty forests full of wolves and witches; haunted manors and abandoned castles; grotesque monsters in the shadows; and other creatures that serve Strahd’s evil will.

About me
Hi! My name is Geo I’m a 43 year old DM, starting out with the first mega RPG wave of the 80s with the Red Box Basic D&D set. It quickly escalated and everyone in our grammar school played, trying more and more game systems. Since the early 90s, I've been helping friends and newly met people alike weave fantastic tales across worlds of wonder as they encounter uncanny creatures and recover forgotten artifacts. I am passionate at working with new players, and helping introduce them to the hobby that has been so exciting and such a creative outlet to me. I love to increase player's knowledge through patient exemplary in game playing. And there are no questions too mundane or too silly. I worked for a short time with Jimmy Diggs a writer for Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Voyager on a Steampunk Story and Film project. I have played a couple sessions with Shane Hensley designer of Savage Worlds. I have written several short stories and one Novella with more in progress, and designed 1 RPG World setting and 3 board games...And designing RPG products as we speak. A paid DM who works their butt off to provide a professional experience with memorable moments, far beyond your average RPG experience. For several years I have been focusing on running games for single players, duet 1 to 1 campaigns and for 2 players. I have become highly attuned to the building and presentation of fully realized game worlds and characters. Using many years of gaming, writing and public speaking experience combined with 1 to 1 and small party gaming tools I can bring any Saga to life! All experience levels are welcome, I already taught newbies all the way up to GM’s on my days in the past. Feedback is important for me so at the end of every table I ask my players if there was anything they wanted, what they felt it lacked and how was the overall narrative. I’m flexible to each group and try to adapt to both their pace and style. Feel free to contact me with questions and ideas. My discord server is https://discord.gg/wBKnrxey feel free to join and discuss gaming. Thanks.

best DM I have ever played with. He creates the story but allows you to create your character within the story. You can truly do your character concept and work with him on a vision. I have been lucky enough to have him as my DM and continue to do so.

Geo is a very flexible GM. He is patient and helpful to new players. In our DnD game, we re using Talespire. So if you want the top visual combat management experience, this is the place. Talespires offers a unique game style in full 3D with custom minis! I would recommend him to anyone.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters start out at level 1. There are pre-made characters available for all players. If a player wishes to make their own character they can contact me before the game session to discuss character creation.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only things a player needs for this game is a microphone. A webcam is optional. Getting familiar with Discord for audio and Talespire for maps is beneficial but not necessary. However we will use Talespire streamed to players for dice rolling, improved maps and the visual showcase. If a player has access to the free D&D 5th edition Basic rules to go over it will help them quickly pick up the game.
What Lucas Labs brings to the table
Bringing the purchased adventures and ruleset and character sheets. Also providing D&D Beyond and tons of purchased books plus pre-made Characters with Portraits. Bringing maps and visual handouts for the players to use as well. A fully realized cast of non-player characters as well as teaching how to role play to layers if desired. Will also be teaching Theater of the mind to use the awesome imagination that everyone has to have a unique entertaining experience better then any provided story/movie can. As well as teaching Role playing in general also teaching the game rules in an easy to understand fun manner. Will also provide a background atmospheric soundtrack for the Adventures. Overall bringing great amounts of fun and entertainment first, evoking a sense of wonder as is possible.
