Date: Thursdays Time: 7:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM CST / 23:00 UTC Length: 4 hour sessions <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20201105T18&p1=64" rel="nofollow">https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20201105T18&p1=64</a> The party is in the opening chapter of Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden and is looking for another player or two! I have GMed
thousands of hours of tabletop RPGs in person, online, and at
convention. I've recently run successful Descent into Avernus, Tomb of Annihilation, and Lost
Mine of Phandelver campaigns for 5th Edition on Roll20. The
campaign will be run on Roll20, but players will be invited to join
D&D Beyond where I have a Master Tier subscription and Legendary
Bundle that grants players access to digital versions of every book. It
also includes their Character Builder and searchable databases of the
spells, items, and monsters. This game will require payment to
the Game Master at a rate of $15 via PayPal each session. Roll20 is not
responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private
arrangements. Why Join My Campaign? Click here to see pictures from my other campaigns! You should consider my campaign because... Custom handouts - dozens of handouts made in Photoshop and pulled from the web make the experience more immersive. Custom tokens - I make tokens for NPCs in Photoshop and have made over 1,000 for my various Roll20 campaigns. Copious battlemaps - I love using the best battlemaps I can find for every important encounter. Scenic
pictures - I use evocative images for locations whenever they don't
need a full battlemap. This helps establish the feel for the place you
are visiting. Dynamic lighting - This is one of the best
features on Roll20 and I use it extensively. Dungeons come to life as
you manage your torches and carefully peak around every corner. I have
macros to quickly swap light sources as needed. Watch your step! Music and ambient soundtracks - I provide a mix of musical scores with ambient tracks overlaid. Macros
and Scripts - I use a number of macros and scripts to make the
experience more streamlined and eliminate some of the tedium. Tracking
arrows, spell slots, and concentration saves. I write many macros myself
and can help with custom macros if the players need them. D&D Beyond access - You'll get free access to every book on D&D Beyond including their character builder. Background In Icewind Dale, adventure is a dish best served cold. Icewind
Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a tale of dark terror that revisits
the forlorn, flickering candlelights of civilization known as Ten-Towns
and sheds light on the many bone-chilling locations that surround these
frontier settlements. Campaign Features Rime
of the Frostmaiden is a structured campaign and focuses on combat and
exploration but with much role-playing as well. I'd estimate the
campaign to last 8-12 months.

start at 4th-level. 27 point buy, no rolled starting wealth. Races with
flying at level 1 are not allowed (Aarakocra and Winged Tieflings). All
official options are available with the following exceptions. There is
no PHB+1 rule. Yuan-ti Pureblood are not allowed. Multiclassing is
subject to GM approval and is discouraged. The following 8 feats are not
allowed: Crossbow Expert, Great Weapon Master, Lucky, Polearm Master,
Resilient, Sentinel, Sharpshooter, Spell Sniper. Homebrew and third
party content are allowed subject to GM approval and modification. I
have all the sources on D&D Beyond and can share them with the
players. This includes use of the D&D Beyond character builder and
the full text of the books. Why paid GMing? 1. Defray the content costs. I use the money to purchase new RPG adventures, source books, supplement, maps, and the like. 2. Prevent flakes. Players (and GMs) are far more likely to show up and be on time if there's payment involved. 3.
It takes a lot of extra time to GM. I spend about 1-2 hours per
game-hour prepping. Reading the adventure, taking notes,
cross-referencing rules, finding and making tokens, finding and making
maps, setting them up in Roll20, adding NPCs to Roll20, going over
character sheets, and organizing the session all takes a lot of time
outside the game. It's part of the hobby, but as I'm having to put in
prep time I'd rather not have to spend so much on the content costs too. LFG Listing
