About the adventure
Based on the Rime of the Frost Maiden campaign, this story starts you off as inmates escaping Revel's End and escaping into the lands of Icewind Dale where you will need to work together to survive. What caused the Rime? Who are these wizards and what are they looking for? What's with those black crystals we keep finding? Learn the answer to these questions and more as we fight and explore our way through the land. For avid fans of the Drizzt book series, or for those who wish to discover the deep lore of the land of Icewind Dale for themselves, this campaign dives deep into the land's history and builds on the legacy left behind. Great campaign for newer players who love a roleplay focused campaign with a fair share of crunchy combat and a dash of survival mechanics.

About me
Hi all! My name is George, and I am a professional Dungeon Master and Storyteller with over 10 years of experience running high-immersion campaigns. I specialize in crafting rich, character-driven narratives across a massive array of systems, including Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, Hunter: The Reckoning, Cyberpunk, and Kids on Bikes! Currently, I run games professionally for Forgotten Adventures, where I host live, CRIT Award-winning streamed campaigns twice a week. In addition to my streamed work, I have spent years running high-stakes games for corporate clients and premium live events. My ultimate goal is to provide a masterclass tabletop experience to every single player who joins my link, delivering the exact same high-production value and intense NPC interactions to my StartPlaying tables as I do on camera. I am always open to custom requests or scheduling adjustments! If you see a campaign you love but need a different timeslot, send me a direct message and let’s build your next adventure together.

Creating your character
Reach out to me so we can go through a small personal session zero, then you'll roll for stats with me and make your character on dndbeyond!
The party is currently a sorcerer/warlock, paladin oath of vengeance, and draconic druid. All classes welcomed.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Our session zero will be a free session and not cost anyone any money. For the campaign, you'll need to have a DNDBeyond account, a discord account, a webcam, microphone and headphones as we play online in a video call. No other software or hardware is needed.
What GloriousGe0rge brings to the table
I'll be providing a Discord server for us to chat in, weekly hand outs and visuals via video calls. Each session will have music, character voices, and sometimes I'll make custom maps (like if the players end up getting a hideout of their own). Every session will have battlemaps provided by Forgotten Adventures, along with tokens, and other map assets. To make a character you'll be added to one of my dndbeyond campaigns where you'll have access to nearly all of the published books so far. I enjoy tactical combat but absolutely roll with rule of cool.
Homebrew rules
Drinking Potions is a bonus action. When you cast a spell as a bonus action you can still cast a spell as an action on that turn. When a player is in death saves they can choose to forgo their remaining saves to enter into a last stand before dying. Ranged attacks on enemies within 5ft of you do not have disadvantage, but ranged attacks on other enemies while an enemy is within 5ft do have disadvantage.

How GloriousGe0rge creates a safe table
We will go over lines and veils via a survey in session zero, we'll also go over the campaign's themes and what players are expecting to make sure all players are aligned. After each session we'll have a check-in to make sure all players are content and to address any issues had at the table.
