Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online Experience: Veteran DM and fairly experienced players Location/Timezone: 8:30 AM EST (Saturdays) Schedule: Every week 8:30 AM EST (Saturdays) Roles sought: Looking for one additional player to fill a party of 4. Game style: Casual, roleplay with a bit of hack'n'slash.
Icewind Dale has been trapped in a **perpetual winter**. Ferocious blizzards make the mountain pass through the Spine of the World exceedingly treacherous, and this land has not felt the warmth of the sun in over two years. In fact, the sun no longer appears above the mountains, not even in what should be the height of summer. In this frozen tundra, darkness and bitter cold reign as king and queen. Most dale residents blame Auril the Frostmaiden, the god of winter's wrath. The shimmering aurora that weaves across the sky each night is said to be her doing -- a potent spell that keeps the sun at bay.
Dalefolk live in a scattering of settlements known as Ten-Towns. The drop-off in caravans coming from the south and travel between settlements in this never-ending winter has left everyone feeling isolated. Although each town has resolved to appease the Frostmaiden with sacrifices of one kind or another, no respite from the winter's fury seems forthcoming. For adventurers such as yourselves, Ten-Towns is a place to test one's mettle and, in the spirit of heroes who have come before, leave one's mark on this frigid, blighted land.

Adventure details: - Location is the Icewind Dale, The Northern Territories of Faerun. - Game will be at 8:30 AM EST on Saturdays. - Sources: All officially published D&D 5E material! - Starting level 7! - 27 point-buy or standard array. - Starting equipment/wealth: per class and background + Cold Weather Clothing + one uncommon potion of your choice + 200gp.
Looking for Players: - Looking for Team players. - Looking for players willing to have fun over rules. - Looking for players willing to roleplay. - Looking for players that can be relied upon to show up to every game. - Looking for players willing to commit long-term to a weekly game. - New players to D&D and roll20 are welcome!
Character Creation Characters began the adventure at level 1, (Level 7 now) and play continues on a weekly basis until the book has been completed. If you have little or no experience playing D&D online, don't worry. I can help you with your character creation prior to the first session upon request at no additional charge. I can also provide ongoing help as you progress.
Commitment - You will level up your character from level 7. - $15 each session (PayPal). - Weekly 3-hour sessions hosted on FoundryVTT and discord. - Players that can commit to meeting weekly are preferred.
Why Pay to Play? Practically everyone is clamoring to get into a free game online, but there aren't nearly enough experienced DMs to satisfy the demand. Most people endure disappointing experiences like this:
After spending your valuable time laboriously filling out applications, you get rejected more often than not due to the scores of people applying to play each free game. When you do get accepted, players don't show up or are unprepared. Sometimes the DM doesn't show up or is unprepared. It's a frustrating grind to go through time after time, especially when all you want to do is relax and have fun playing.
Here are some of the reasons why professionally-run paid games provide a superior experience:
- Charging a modest per-person fee virtually eliminates player no-shows. - The small fee also ensures that everyone in the group is committed to the session. - The maturity level is exponentially higher in paid games. - People don't abandon the group and quit the campaign when something doesn't go their way. - The gaming experience provided by a professional DM is eminently more enjoyable than what you get in a free game. - Material costs associated with running a top-shelf game are covered. Roll20 charges fees for the token, map, and card collections associated with each module, while the actual hardcover books and DM Guild downloads must be purchased separately. - The DM's Roll20 Pro membership ensures that players have access to all of the extras, including D&D 5e Compendium integration, API scripts, and more. - Custom-designed tokens for your characters are included. - Extra help for beginners at no charge. - An immersive experience that includes advanced role-play techniques, effects, and completely original game materials that aren't available anywhere else.
About the Dungeon Master I've been running Dungeons and Dragons games for decades. I take my time customizing each adventure with storylines and subplots that aren't found in the officially published material. As a result, even people who have read the material or previously played or run it will enjoy a unique experience that isn't found anywhere else.
My game preparation is unparalleled. I read and familiarize myself with every detail about a campaign before we even play the first session. Then I review key points before each subsequent session, all while interweaving character backstories into the written material.
Wizard of the Coast's rule master Jeremy Crawford encourages people to play D&D with RAF (Rules As Fun) in mind. So don't be surprised if we place RAF over RAW (Rules As Written). 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.
Job one for me as DM is to ensure that every single player at the table has a good time. I take that responsibility very seriously. So if you play through a campaign with me, it will be a fun experience that you will remember and cherish well after it's over.
