Campaign Introduction
This is a professionally-run game based on the popular modules Lost Mines of Phandelver and Beyond the Dragon of Icespire Peak with a few amendments intended to enhance the story beats, avoid meta-gaming, and allow player flexibility in character development. This campaign is ideal for those looking for a longer-running and the opportunity to showcase character plots and arcs, starting from Level 1 to Level 15. Everyone is welcome to apply, from new players to the forever-DMs.
Game Session Details
We will use the following for this campaign: + Roll20 for VTT + Discord for audio communication (no video) + Push-To-Talk enabled to eliminate background noise + dndbeyond.com as a supplementary tool for character sheets (with all sourcebooks for players). + beyond20 extension to connect Roll20 and dndbeyond
Character Creation Rules
Point Buy or Standard Array
You can roll for wealth or choose starting equipment.
Free Feat at Level 1
For some subclasses and even races, I allow for an additional Feat to be included with character creation (this stacks with the free Feat at Lvl 1). Please refer to the Character Creation table below. The Feat that comes with subclasses will apply at their respective level.
All Published Content is allowed, including Critical Role content
Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos material requires approval, with exception to the owlin that is allowed
Custom Lineage is not permitted
Almost all 3rd-party and homebrew material is not allowed, and those that are require approval by the DM
Repeating of classes or races is prohibited
Average HP is taken*
Multi-classing is allowed, but requires RP and approval to progress
Why Pay-to-Play?
Disincentives no-shows or sporadic playing while incentivizing preparedness for both the DM and players.
Commitment by the DM to work with you + your character to build a fully flushed-out journey for your PC.
The Game Master has a responsibility to provide a better experience than a free session would.
Assurance by the DM that no players will be left out while others are favored.
Material costs associated with the game, including (but not limited to) additional maps, music for ambience, Roll20/Patreon subscriptions and sourcebooks/adventure modules.
Players are not required to make any additional purchases in order to participate. Access to all relevant sourcebooks are provided free of charge via dndbeyond.com.
Advance payments for canceled/missed sessions are refunded.
Player Expectation
A Group Environment + D&D is a collaborative effort and not an opportunity to play-out a main character fantasy. Please behave the way you would wish other players would behave and help encourage the shy among us to participate more fully.
Respect for all at the Table + This cannot be stressed enough: Playing with a group of random strangers can be a tricky situation. Harassment or bullying towards anyone of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other kind of behavior meant to bring people down. Violators will be booted from the game, the discord, and WILL NOT be entitled a refund for any paid sessions. When others are trying to speak, please try not to interrupt them. Encourage others at the table to share their voice as well.
Player Enjoyment + Your character is your character. While players may make suggestions if asked, please refrain from constantly telling people how to play their character. Some players may be new to their respective class or even the game, and everyone should extend some patience to them as we have all been there at one point. With that said, please be considerate of other player’s time, for example please put in the same effort in understanding your character as the other players to not hold up the Turn Order.
About the Dungeon Master
I am a recent college grad with time on my hands to run a few D&D campaigns while studying for the CPA. I have been playing weekly in multiple campaigns for the past few years now and have a good foundation on the mechanics and the lore provided by WOTC. I enjoy taking time to customize storylines and subplots that aren’t in the published material to enhance the experience for everyone at the table. But above all, I love seeing a group of folks from many walks of life finding joy and bonds with each other, and seeing the amazing creativity of people is always appreciated (and more importantly rewarded).
Jeremy Crawford, Wizard of the Coast's rule master, encourages people to play D&D with RAF (Rules As Fun) in mind. There are some situations where I will place RAF over RAW (Rules As Written), but it must be within reason. Creativity is always appreciated and rewarded. Role-playing is encouraged, but isn't required. Beginners are encouraged to apply, and will be welcomed into our gaming family with open arms.
I am fully aware that my role is to ensure that everyone has not only a fun experience, but also a safe one. I take that responsibility very seriously, so please do not hesitate to let me know if there are certain topics or scenes that are uncomfortable.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me over Private Message!

I'm curious, what does "Beyond The Dragon of Icespire Peak" mean? I know what the Dragon of Icespire Peak is... what does the "Beyond" refer to?
Hi, if you still have any openings I’d be happy to fill one. My discord is Walkerw#8562
Hey Bio, Beyond the Dragon of Icespire Peak is the cumulation of the following adventures:
The first module isn't technically a tie-in with the rest, but the last three are considered part of a trilogy line.
