About the adventure
❄ Explore a strange world of ice 🥶 Brave the elements ⚔ Stop an invading army 🔍 Uncover a mystery hidden beneath the snow “Dear Brave Adventurer, I need not tell you what the past two years have been like for this land. A never-ending blizzard has blanketed us, cutting us off from the outside world. The clouds have blocked out the snow, enveloping us into eternal night. People have stopped trusting one another, and some towns are even conducting human sacrifices. I have a theory, one that might finally help us unlock the mystery as to why this is happening. However, I need help if I’m to succeed. I need people who are brave enough to venture into the frozen wilderness. Only through your aid can we save this land. Please, meet me at the Blackiron Blades Tavern, and I’ll tell you of my plan. Signed, Dannika Graysteel”

About me
Who am I? A GM who loves to tell shared stories and laugh a lot. A GM with a background in writing, who focuses on story and creativity. A person who strives to make a safe and inclusive space so that people can feel free to role play with one another. My tables are a place of peace in a tumultuous world, and I do my best to maintain that peace. With one of my games you can expect: - A focus on roleplay, and the room to explore character relationships - Player driven narratives. You are the heroes. It's your story. - Full voice acting, and some physical performance to go with it -For games with a focus on combat, tactical thinking will trump character builds or anything else. Be smart: not every combat is booked for you to win. - To laugh harder than you have all week!

Creating your character
Character creation can be completed prior to the game or during Session 0. The following rules will apply: - Players will be using 5.5e (2024) rules. - Characters will be created at level 1. - Players may roll for stats, use standard array, or use point buy. - Classes will be restricted to those that make sense in the Forgotten Realms setting. Content from other settings and from 3rd party content can only be used with approval from the GM. Homebrew will not be allowed. - There will be no magic items at character creation. This includes consumables such as potions. Notice: If joining this campaign after the session 0, characters must be created at least an hour before start time.

We'll use maps and ambient music to set the mood for the adventure. I'll help bring the world to life through voice acting and performances. Combat difficulty will scale to the party, in order to keep the adventure fun and engaging. Players should expect an experience that they get to drive. It will be my job to respond to what you want to do and what directions you'd like to go in.

We will use Lines & Veils as well as X cards in order to maintain player safety. Table safety is important to me in order to create a safe and inclusive space. Safety tools will be handled by the Virtual Tabletop.
