About the adventure
This is a game for beginners onward. We'll be in Icewind Dale, a very very cold place. Think of Alaska, but worst. So the environment will be cold and cruel, ruthless. But the NPCs will be fun, exotic and all around fun. Except when they're not. I always curate the table, so I'd prefer if we have a small one-on-one before session 0, just to make sure we're compatible. Session 0 will be free, last about 3 hours and we'll go over some basic rules, lines and veils and consent for touchy subjects, we'll roll stats for your characters and I'll run a very small adventure for you to get familiarized with FoundryVTT.

About me
I have been DMing for 5 years already, 2 of those profesionally through players who found me on Reddit. I studied Creative Writing and am passionate about storytelling. I found in RPGs the best way to mix everything I love about literature and games into one perfect package. An interactive medium where I have to adapt and respond according to what players decide to do. It's not just me telling a story, it's a whole group. Stories are my babies and it really does take a village. Of players. To make them the best version they can be.

Creating your character
Character creation will be during session 0 (which is free). We'll start at level 1 and will do the classic Standard array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8 distributed however you want. The caracters will be created in Foundry VTT. Everything published in 5e is legal.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord account, I will sent you an invitation to a server once everything's set up. Have an account on https://forge-vtt.com/ for game sessions.
What Andrés brings to the table
I use background music, tailoring it to the situation. I do voices, though they don't always sound the same from session to session. Combat is intense, I won't go easy on players, but will never be unfair. I go by the rules, but love a lot of flavor and if something is in the name of flavor, I will most likely allow it. You will have a Discord server for roleplaying in between sessions if you want, uploading memes, pet pictures and anything else you need.

How Andrés creates a safe table
During session 0 we'll go over your personal lines and veils. What you're uncomfortable with. It'll be done anonymous just in case. I'll also explain how Xs, Ns and Os work during sessions in case something comes up in-game that you hadn't anticipated.
