About the adventure

The frontier town of Phandalin stands on the edge of civilization, a beacon of hope in the untamed wilds. But that hope is quickly fading. A fearsome white dragon, Cryovain, has descended from the Sword Mountains, claiming the icy peaks as its domain. Its shadow darkens the land, and its frozen breath spells doom for those who dare to defy it. Trade routes have gone silent, hunters have vanished into the snow, and the people of Phandalin live in terror, waiting for the day the dragon turns its hungry eyes toward them. The town needs heroes—brave adventurers willing to stand against the storm and carve their legend into the frostbitten earth. But the dragon is only the beginning. Bandits, monsters, and ancient dangers stir in the wake of Cryovain's chaos, each with their own stake in the fate of the region. Forgotten ruins hide long-lost secrets, while the wilderness teems with creatures both wondrous and deadly. Will you rise as Phandalin’s saviors, battling through peril to slay the beast? Or will you seek power of your own, forging alliances with forces beyond mortal reckoning? The chill of winter is setting in, and only the bold will survive the Dragon of Icespire Peak.

About me

Crafting stories and storytelling have been passions of mine for as long as I can remember. Throw in getting hooked on improv in college, falling in love with RPGs wasn't far off.

Character creation

Creating your character

D&D Beyond is excellent and FREE! I strongly encourage everyone playing D&D use it, but I will never require it. Starting level for this campaign is 1. Pick your stats using Point Buy or Standard Array and use starting items.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You'll need a microphone and filled out character sheet. Everything else you'll need will be clear based on the pre-decided medium of play.

What Zachary brings to the table

I primarily run Theatre of the Mind but can use Roll20 when needed. I offer content sharing on D&D Beyond, blending homebrew and official content for a unique experience. I use character voices, ambient music, and immersive storytelling to bring the world to life. Combat is balanced but often leans toward action unless the group prefers more narrative focus. I mix Rules as Written with Rule of Cool—if you want to try something creative, go for it, and we’ll see how it plays out. Homebrew is welcome, just send it my way for approval. Player choices shape the story, and I’ll work through unexpected decisions narratively. Player conflicts are handled case-by-case to ensure a fun and fair game for everyone. At my table, expect engaging storytelling, thrilling combat, and plenty of chances to shape the world around you.
