About the adventure
Campaign Trailer: https://youtube.com/shorts/8AdTGPuqFKo Welcome to Icewind Dale. The sun barely rises. The cold never really leaves. Most people are just trying to make it through another week. Life here isn't easy. • Survive the wilderness Blizzards. Thin supplies. Long journeys across frozen ground where a wrong turn can become a real problem. • Meet the people of Ten-Towns Fishers. Trappers. Merchants. Folks doing their best in a place that keeps getting harder to live in. • Uncover old secrets The ice has buried a lot over the years. Not all of it wants to stay buried. • Explore a changing frontier Rumors spread. Strange things happen. The deeper you look, the more questions you find. • Face the Frostmaiden's winter The endless cold isn't an accident. Something is keeping it here. This is a story about survival. About communities trying to endure. And about what people do when hope starts running short. So. How long can you last in the cold? [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] ------------------------------------------- 📣See what Aydelly has to say about my GM'ing: "As my first campaign, Leland is an amazing DM! Kind and patient, he makes sure to help when I'm confused and really lets us have fun in the roleplaying! He has been great for teaching me everything I need to know and is over all just professional and fun! If you're new, I highly recommend Leland! I won't let me select all for the tags but if i could i would, he's seriously the best and I'm glad I joined his campaigns! "

About me
Hey everyone, I’m Leland. Some of y’all probably know me online as Leopold the Just. I’ve been obsessed with tabletop RPGs since the early 2000s and somehow still love this hobby just as much now as I did back then. Outside of GMing, I’m usually at concerts, playing board games, getting lost in strategy games and RPGs, camping, traveling, trying good food, wandering through museums and aquariums, or planning my next tattoo. As a GM, I lean hard into strange mysteries, creepy places, emotional roleplay, and NPCs that stick with people long after the session ends. Some games feel cozy. Some feel awful in the best way possible. Sometimes both happen in the same night. If you like character-driven stories and worlds that react to what you do, you’ll probably fit in just fine at my table. --- What to expect at my table and in the community: • Story-first sessions with a big focus on character growth and roleplay • Fast, cinematic combat that stays tense and easy to picture • A world that reacts to what you say and do • Group storytelling and shared worldbuilding where your choices leave marks behind • A relaxed, inclusive space where people can show up as themselves • $5 community one-shots for active members that mix players from different campaigns together • Community hangouts outside the games too: video game streams, board game nights, watch parties, and more! So pull up a virtual chair and let’s tell some stories together! GM Profile Trailer: https://youtube.com/shorts/a7BjxuQmdHM

Creating your character
We will create characters together during s0! If you join after s0, then I (the DM) will send you the character creation parameters via discord and discuss things with you before you begin the process.

How Leland House creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
