About the adventure

From the frozen peaks of the Sword Mountains to the scorching depths of elemental nodes, your legend begins in the humble town of Phandalin. What starts as a desperate struggle to protect a frontier settlement from a marauding White Dragon soon unravels into a far more sinister plot. As you grow in power, you will discover that the frost was only the beginning; four elemental prophets are rising, and they intend to watch the world burn, drown, and crumble. This campaign offers a classic D&D experience that blends the best of both worlds: wide-open hex crawls across untamed wilderness and high-stakes dungeon crawling through ancient ruins. We use Milestone Leveling, meaning your growth is tied directly to your heroic deeds and story progress. You won’t need to worry about grinding for points—just focus on the narrative, your character’s journey, and the epic battles ahead. Who Is This For? New Players Welcome: Dragon of Icespire Peak is specifically designed to be the perfect "Intro to D&D." I’ll help you learn the ropes in a low-stress, high-fun environment. Explorers & Delvers: If you love uncovering secret maps and kicking in dungeon doors, you'll be right at home. Inclusivity is Key: This is a strictly LGBTQ+ friendly table. I have a zero-tolerance policy for prejudice, bullying, or "main character syndrome." We are here to tell a collaborative story where everyone feels safe and celebrated. The first session is free, so come find your footing in the North. Grab your gear, sharpen your blade, and prepare to face the apocalypse. Your seat at the table is waiting!

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters begin at 1st Level and will Advance to 18th Level by the end. The following material will be used for character creation: Player's Handbook 2024 Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants Fizban's Treasury of Dragons Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse Tasha's Cauldron of Everything Xanathar's Guide to Everything Forgotten Realms Heroes of Faerun The newest reprint of any game material takes precedence. 2024 Player's Handbook on top. Anything reprinted in newer material consider overwritten. I do not generally allow homebrew or unearthed arcana material, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Just know that this is my preference. For ability scores, player's have the choice of choosing the standard array or rolling. If you choose to roll you roll 4d6, dropping the lowest result and totaling the other three. Do this six times. If the average result of the scores are 12 or less you may reroll. Whatever you end up in the reroll is what you'll have to stick with.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You do not need an active subscription with Roll20 to participate, but you will need a free account. You will also need a discord ID. This is a voice only game, no webcams are required, but a decent mic is. Players are expected to be considerate of other players and the DM. There is zero tolerance when it comes to this expectation.

What Spider brings to the table

I will provide maps, images, music, voices, and more. You can expect combat every session, but plenty of room for RP and exploration besides this (this is why I go for a longer 4 - 5 hour session time). I like to stick to RAW and generally don't allow 3rd party or Unearthed Arcana material in my games.
