DRAGON OF ICESPIRE PEAK 🐉❄️🏔 | lvl 1-7 | Newbies are welcome

Creating your character

* Level: Start at Level 1 (advancement throughout the campaign). * Ability Scores: Point Buy * Allowed Sources: Official 5e books (when in doubt, reach out! :) ) * Starting Equipment: Standard class/background equipment + 1 healing potion + 1 special trinket (this could be an heirloom, a keepsake, or a sentimental item that has no mechanical effect but adds to your character's story) + 1 common magic item of your choice * Homebrew classes or subclasses: Not used in this adventure * New Players Welcome: I will happily walk you through character creation before our first session and provide beginner-friendly options, cheat sheets, and guidance. ** Free session 0 included!! If you want, we can go over your character sheet during session 0 if you need support. I'd be happy to help you build it from scratch if you feel more comfortable that way, otherwise we can just review details together :) Session 0 will also be used to discuss safety tools!

Preparing for the session

To be able to play, you will need: - A Discord account (I will be sharing with you the link to the server we'll be using) - A Forge VTT account (no subscription needed) - A D&D Beyond account (no subscription needed) - A character sheet (I will give you guidelines on how and where to create your character in the Discord server)

What Lucy Moon brings to the table

- Clear, patient guidance if you’re new - Supportive table culture (zero tolerance for any kind of hostility towards other participants) - Cinematic combat described vividly and with respect of your boundaries - Character-driven storytelling and fail-safe/fail-forward style in storytelling - Handouts, maps, and tools to help you visualize the world without spoiling the theatre of the mind - Flexible roleplay space where your creativity sets the tone - A DM who genuinely loves creating fun, cozy, chaotic, heroic moments for players - Full D&D Beyond Sharing: Access to the PHB, Tasha’s, Xanathar’s, and more. - Access to The Forge VTT: A premium, browser-based gaming experience (no software to download). - Master-Level Foundry VTT: Using dynamic lighting, multi-level maps, and custom soundscapes to make the horror feel real. - Growing ​Discord Community: You aren't just joining a game; you’re joining a living community. You’ll have access to a dedicated campaign category (private channels for your party’s notes, lore, and strategy), character-building guides, and a "Tavern" to meet other players.

Homebrew rules

I have a few homebrew rules I like to use to keep the game immersive, but these are totally optional. If the group prefers to play it standard, we don't have to use them! - Blind Checks: I like to have Stealth and sometimes Perception checks be "DM eyes only." This keeps the action moving naturally without the roll result meta-gaming your next move. Example: You’re in a dark forest and spot a glimmer out of the corner of your eye. You draw your sword and creep closer, convinced it’s a monster... only to realize it was just a glowing mushroom. If you saw you rolled a Nat 1, you’d already know it wasn't a threat, but this way keeps the tension real! - Hidden Death Saves: To keep the stakes high, Death Saves are rolled privately between the player and the DM. It keeps the rest of the party on their toes since they won't know exactly how close you are to the edge. - Critical Initiative: If you roll a natural 20 on initiative, you get to choose exactly where you want to go in the turn order once it’s set, giving you a tactical advantage to start the fight. Again, the first two are strictly "if the group is on board," so we can chat about them during Session Zero!

How Lucy Moon creates a safe table

I use multiple safety tools to ensure a fun, respectful table: * Session 0 to align expectations * Lines & Veils * Consent Checklist * X & O Cards during play Your comfort matters! This table is collaborative and supportive.
