About the adventure
Ages ago, giants and dragons waged war across the Savage Frontier. These battles are long forgotten by the human civilizations of today, but ancient relics remain. And now, the land shudders once more with the thunder of giant footsteps. Hill giants raid farms for food and livestock, as stone giants lay waste to settlements in their path. Frost giants plunder coastal towns, as fire giants gather slaves. Cloud giant castles drift across the sky, casting ominous shadows on the cities of the North. But no threat compares to the wrath of the Storm giants, who stand betrayed. As brave adventurers you must rise to the challenge, gather your strength, unlock the power of ancient runes, and take the fight to the giants' doorsteps. Only then can you discover a hidden evil fomenting a war between giants and small folk. Only then can you forge an alliance to end the war before it begins.

About me
Welcome, Adventurers! Thanks for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt. I absolutely love tabletop RPGs, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that love by crafting unforgettable sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is a favorite of mine, and I bring that passion to every table I run. My goal is always to make the story leap off the page and help players fully immerse themselves in the world around them. While I respect the rules, the characters and story will always come first. It’s about having fun, sharing laughs, and letting the dice help tell the tale. Roll a natural 20? Expect something magical. Roll a 1? Well… it’ll still be magical, but probably not in the way you hoped. 😁 I'm especially passionate about helping new players find their footing, learn to roleplay, and get the most out of their game time. Not seeing the system you love? Just ask, I’m always open to new worlds and adventures. So jump on board and let me take you on a fantastic journey. Oh and don’t forget the snacks! I can’t wait to see you at the table.

Creating your character
⚔️Players start this game as 1st level adventurers. 🗡️For character creation check with me when you sign up to see the current level of the party, full assistance with this is offered or feel free to bring a pre rolled character if you have one. 🏹We use D&D Beyond and all classes and races may be used your character will then be linked to the Discord server where you will be able to see all your rolls and spells cast live in the game.
For character creation: Roll for Stats in Discord using Avrae (roll four sets of 4d6 dice, drop the lowest die from each set) or use Standard Array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8). We use Milestone leveling, so you don't have to track XP. You are heroes, here to save the day. Please don't make overpowered or homebrew characters, evil characters, or races and classes from other worlds than the one we’re playing in. No player vs player violence or stealing from the party members.
