About the adventure
The North is in turmoil. Giants—once bound by ancient law—have broken free of order. Fire giants march with war machines, frost giants raid the coasts, and stone giants shape the land in ways mortals cannot control. The balance of Faerûn is shaken, and ordinary folk cry out for heroes willing to rise against the storm. a rugged, untamed land of icy mountains, dense forests, and sprawling cities. You’ll travel from quiet villages to towering keeps, from dwarven halls to giant strongholds, uncovering secrets that tie the fate of smallfolk to the mightiest beings in the world. Expect a mix of high adventure, exploration, political intrigue, and mythic battles where your choices ripple across the realms. The game welcomes both new adventurers and seasoned veterans. Rules will always be explained clearly, and the focus is on fun, teamwork, and storytelling. If you’re excited by the thought of forging alliances, unearthing lost lore, and standing tall against creatures that could crush castles in their fists, this campaign is for you. Above all, this is a character-driven journey. Your backstories and decisions will shape how the giants’ rampage is confronted—and whether Faerûn finds peace or falls into ruin. If you’ve ever wanted to stand eye-to-eye with legends, now is the time to step into the storm.

About me
Hello hello! If you are here then you might be thinking of playing one in one of my games. I really appreciate your consideration so why don't I tell you a bit about myself? My name is Originalname but my friends call me Ori or Original. I have been playing D&D and other tabletop rpgs for 5 years while I have been Dming for 4 years, I pride myself on the fact that all my players have had fun in my campaigns, be it because the tone and atmosphere were really engaging or just because we have had a lot of fun due to the myriad of shenanigans the players are able to pull. I love dming and I have dmed for both newcomers and veterans from the Advanced Dungeon & Dragons era, I like to think that it's never late to learn how to play D&D while I also enjoy challenging both the dice andingenuity of my players. If you are paying for Dming services, you should be getting the best of the best and that's why i will give it my all to make every session special and fun for my players.

I’ll be available to help with any questions, whether you’re brand new or an experienced player looking to fine-tune your build.

Safety
How Originalname creates a safe table
Session 0: Before play begins, we’ll have a dedicated Session 0 to talk about expectations, table etiquette, and any boundaries. This will also be the chance to connect your characters to the world and to each other. Lines & Veils: I’ll provide a Lines and Veils document (and an open conversation) so you can mark what you don’t want in the game, and what should be handled off-screen or with care. You’re always free to update this later. Ongoing Safety Tools: During sessions, I’ll use tools like the X-Card and regular check-ins to make sure the game stays fun and safe. If something comes up, you can message me privately or bring it up at the table, no questions asked. Aftercare: At the end of each game, we’ll have a brief cooldown chat to reflect on highlights, check in about anything heavy, and make sure everyone leaves the table feeling good.
