About the adventure

⚔️ D&D 5e campaign for 3-5 players at level 1 ❄️ Welcome to the Far North! A frigid expanse few dare to explore, this icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. Auril the Frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter’s fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. She has cast a terrible spell over Icewind Dale trapping the land in perpetual darkness, forever hidden from the rising sun. 🧙‍♀️ Character Creation » Create on D&D Beyond, a paper character sheet, or message me on Discord for a pre-made » Send me a small image you'd like to use as your character token on Discord » Share your character's name, ethnicity, and class with me before the game » Use Point Buy or Standard Array for stats.

About me

Hey, I'm Jeremy! I love the joyful chaos of D&D. After earning my MA in Games-Based Learning I've run over 650 hours of D&D games over Discord, at coffee shops, comic shops, parks, beaches, bars, and birthdays! I've spoken on ComicCon's GeekEd panel about nerd identity in higher ed, hosted workshops at Social Fiction Conference, and firmly believe in games' ability to create safe spaces for social inclusion. I combine the social camaraderie of collaborative storytelling with fantastical visual representation to create worlds real and diverse. It's a blast creating experiences cultivating confidence, social skills, and belonging in an otherwise imaginary world 🌎 My first experience with D&D was growing a beard made of feathers as a monk fighting a giant under a circus tent. Since then I've had players laugh while negotiating with yetis, hunker down with heads bowed cracking ancient ciphers, and unleash heartfelt tears at reconnecting with long-lost siblings. Here are a few quotes from past games: "How much damage does a rhino falling 60 feet onto someone's head do?" "How could this possibly be any worse than the disintegration trap?" "I lick the obelisk." D&D creates playfully-mediated spaces of belonging. In a world constantly bombarded with limitations, my games live by the mantra "you may certainly try." When I'm not writing a D&D adventure or creating another dynamic battle map, I'm planning the next Murder Mystery Party 🎭 Whether a one-shot or longer campaign, our lives need more dragons 🐉 come join!

Jeremy is a very engaging dungeon master. Every session is tailored to our group, and each is more fun than the last. Most of our group is new to the game and he is very clear, helpful and patient with them. Would 100% recommend him to any group veteran or new.

Jeremy is Amazing! I bought a handful of sessions to play with my family and friends around the country, and only one of us had ever played. We are now HOOKED!!! We play every Monday with Jeremy, and we all look forward to it every week. He is engaging, inviting, and if you are considering playing, book him now and do it. You won't regret it.

Combat was creative and engaging. It felt like our decisions mattered. It never felt like a railroad, and regardless of how off the tracks we went it felt like it was planned all along. Also, helped introduce my wife and friend to the game who had never played before and provided friendly tips and helpful resources to help them get started and hit the ground running. Can't recommend Jeremy enough!!

Just had Session 0 with a great group of friends and we are all so excited to be embarking on this adventure with Jeremy. He is clear and concise in answering questions and setting expectations. He is warm and excited for all our characters and the journey ahead, and is very engaging when working on our individual stories and fitting them into his diverse and enchanting Erethor setting. We all left the session energized and excited for our next game!

Jeremy's worlds are vast and lively, his combat mechanics and roleplaying elements are utterly unmatched, and he leaves so much room for character development and exploration that you won't be able to wait for the next session. As an adventurer in Jeremy's world, you can make lasting impressions that other adventurers will hear legends about! People that meet through his community will have heard about each other through interacting with NPC's and environments in game, forging tight bonds before even being formally introduced. If you are looking for a game master, look no further; the adventure of a lifetime is only a few clicks away!

Jeremy's adaptability and encouragement are key reasons why I keep coming back for more. This past session he allowed our group to plan what we wanted to accomplish in the session ahead of time and then found creative in game ways to make that happen, without having to spend 8+ hours bogged down by sharpening sticks for a trap. That left more time for exciting encounters like combat. Jeremy's story telling and use of interactive resources creates a one of a kind experience. 10000/10
