D&D 4e One-Shot "Fimbulvetr" (8/27, 8 PM Eastern, 8th-level)

Grimfjord. As far north as north goes. It is the third year with no summer and the snow comes from all directions. The skalds and runepriests tell us that in this age, "There will be innumerable wars. Ties of blood will no longer be respected. Next-of-kin will lie together. And brother will kill brother." It is the eve of Ragnarok, when it is said the white wyrm, Fimbulvetr, will devour the last people in the world and usher in endless darkness and terror. Here in the meadhall of Jarl Osvald, we sup on the last of our meager provisions, sure that there will be no tomorrow. We raise our horns to the honored dead, lucky to have died in the wars long before this night. The jarl's son, Tor, has brought to us the first elk anyone has seen in two years and claims the meat for himself and those that swear allegiance to him. Helga, daughter of Osvald, sister of Tor - and lover to both - waits for the inevitable conflict as lines are drawn and axe handles gripped. Brother will kill brother this night. And Fimbulvetr is coming. Will you earn your way into Valhalla or walk the frozen earth as a cursed draugr for all time? Find out on August 27th, 8 PM Eastern.

Listen, I know what you're thinking: "I really want to play this pixie bard I created but I don't think it's appropriate to a Viking-themed adventure." Nonsense. Just rename that little bastard to "Sven" or something and you're good to go. There are no Vikings alive to dispute the existence of pixies during their era anyway. Having said that, one spot still available.

this is the most awesome thing, but my weekly game rescheduled to be at the same time. might you re-run this oneshot again? it is the sort of thing i would love to play if i didn't already have a game at the same time.

The time is perfect for me.  I use Hangouts for 2 other campaigns I'm in.  Macro I use  /roll d20 + ?{Modifier|0}  530 hours playing on Roll20......Anything else you need to know?

@ Jacob H: The DM (Iserith) has run this a number of times. I'm sure he'll run it again at some point. It's one of his more popular one-shots. @ Leigh: An invite has been sent. Your spot is not secured until a character has been posted as per the instructions in the campaign forums. Please post a character as soon as possible. Until that time, recruitment is still open. Question: Who likes Vikings? Answer: Everyone. So sign up for this game pronto.

My Tuesday group has cancelled for today so I could roll a character and play today.  I'm pretty familiar with setting up dice macros rolls and macros for powers and skill rolls and stuff.  I haven't used hangouts, but I have a google+ account made and could probably set it up pretty easily.  If you're open to having a 5th player I could join!

Thank you for your interest, Jonathan R. What kind of 4e experience do you have? Weeks, months, years? You've mentioned being new to the game in other threads which is why I ask. Per the DM, this scenario isn't the best for new players due to the level of challenge and the fact that it is timed.

Oh, well if that's the case, then I probably don't fit the bill since I've only been playing for a few weeks.  Sorry for wasting your time.

Not a waste of my time at all, no apologies necessary. The DM does have several newbie-friendly adventures. This just isn't one of them - this one chews up and spits out experienced players. Sometimes they play it multiple times just to beat it. One spot still open (unless and until Leigh posts his character before you can).

could someone per say just watch this campagin?

Yes, if you agree to provide a review/feedback to the DM.

I wont talk just watch and sure sounds easy enough

Too late to put in my name for joining? I have had years experience with D&amp;D and in general am a quick on my feet roleplayer. I know the mechanics but better yet know how to adapt to the story. I am a computer programmer so I can custiomize my macros on the fly to the characters needs. If allowed to join I would like to tackle a bard role in the viking lands. Inspiration coming from Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin,&nbsp; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnpaPGHFsL4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnpaPGHFsL4</a>

That's a cool concept. I wish you could have joined. Unfortunately, the game had started by then. Please keep an eye out for future one-shot opportunities. We run them regularly and they're best with experienced players due to the level of the challenge.
