About the adventure
Phandalin is a quiet village, the kind that keeps its head down and gets by. It's a place that has simple problems, the kind common to a tiny spot on the map at edge of the frontier. A rowdy gang of mercenaries loitering around town, prospectors and woodcutters who never make it back to town, goblins lurking in the woods, and the occasional undead wandering up from the swamps; those sorts of problems. But then, a whole new type of threat appears when a dragon takes up roost in the Sword Mountains and sightings of the drake grow in frequency as it tests the limits of its new territory. Just as the people of Phandalin begin to watch the skies in fearful anticipation, whispers of something beneath their feet begin to surface when fairy tales of a lost fortune and a forgotten power clash with the cold reality of those willing to kill for both. ____________________________________________ In this campaign I'll be running a mashup of the official D&D modules "Lost Mines of Phandelver" and the "Dragon of Icespire Peak" trilogy. This adventure will primarily center on the rugged frontier of the northern Sword Coast, and will take the players from Level 1 – 12 in a classic-feeling D&D fantasy experience. In addition to the main storylines of these adventures, this campaign will also have plenty of room for downtime and roleplay activities with things like crafting, base-building, and faction conflict / political intrigue. And, of course, this adventure will have a heavy focus on dragons. All this makes for a great campaign for players who want to revisit Phandalin for a fresh experience, as well as those who'll be making their first foray into this timeless D&D setting on the Sword Coast ____________________________________________ Free Session 0

About me
Hello adventurers! My name is Squint and I've been playing D&D for six years as a player and DM. I decided to take my DMing online because I had a great DM in my first online campaign as a player which really helped me develop my love for D&D, and I want to be able to do that for someone else! I especially enjoy emphasizing the social aspect of D&D. I believe the game is at its best when players engage with each other in-character by sharing ideas, making plans, and collaborating to build a vibrant and exciting world together. I encourage players to engage in small talk and work together in-character to make decisions that shape the world they inhabit

Creating your character
- Level 1 Characters (created on D&D Beyond or Foundry VTT) - Rule Set: 2024 5e - Stats: Point Buy or Standard Array - 3rd Party Sources are allowed on a case-by-case basis. As long as they fit the setting theme, they'll very likely be approved! - A Note on Firearms: Rudimentary firearms are by no means widespread in this world, but artificers across the Sword Coast and beyond have been experimenting with and developing these weapons for several years now. If you choose a Ranger or other class that uses ranged weapons and want to use firearms instead of traditional ranged weapons, just let me know!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need the following by Session 0: - Discord account for voice chat - D&D Beyond account for character creation and management - A laptop or desktop computer (Foundry VTT unfortunately doesn't work on ~most~ tablets) - Microphone (built-in laptop or headphone mics work just fine) Note: Players do NOT need the paid versions of any of the above services to play this game
What SqntEastwood brings to the table
In every game I provide a full-suite virtual experience on Foundry VTT with professional-grade battle maps and dungeons to navigate, music to set the tone, modules to help streamline and smooth-out combat in a virtual setting, my very very best attempts at voice acting NPCs you engage with (please pardon the times my accents start to slip together into unknown dialects!), and a story with plenty of room for everyone to shine (or lurk in the shadows, if that's more their style)
Homebrew rules
- Crits are full base damage + rolled crit damage (when you crit, you should CRIT) - There will be a mix of official and homebrew rules for crafting and other downtime activities (more on that in Session 0) - Homebrew character creation options are permitted upon DM approval
