Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden

Can you put an end to the Everlasting Night?

Who am I?

It's wonderful to have you here. My names is Euan and I am a Professional Dungeon Master, with 6 years of DMing experience. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Drama, as well as a backlog of theatrical experience. I predominantly run games of D&D 5e, but I also have experience in a number of other systems. Needless to say, I'm qualified for the job. Credentials aside, I have a passion for storytelling. My goal is to create memorable stories and provide YOU with a game you won't soon forget. So let's waste no time and weave some fantastic tales together!

Rime of the Frostmaiden

Feel the cold touch of death in this adventure for the world's greatest roleplaying game.
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden is a level 1-12 adventure set amid the freezing north of the Sword Coast. Here, the folk of the Ten Towns struggle to survive. It's a strain to survive at the best of times, but ever since the coming of the 'Everlasting Rime' nearly two years ago, things have become desperate quickly. Those brave adventurers that find themselves will have little choice but to take an active role in the withering settlements. Will they work to protect the isolated communities? Or will they take what they can and leave the weak to perish? The choice is up to YOU. If the sun does finally rise again above the Dale's, how will the people remember you?

What will it be like?

• As an Actor by trade, expect fully-voiced NPCs to roleplay and interact with. HOWEVER, if you are new to roleplaying games, or you prefer to avoid roleplay, then there is no pressure to do so.

• Your Choices Matter. This particular module features a compelling Sandbox inviting you to path your own adventure through the freezing north. The choices you make will impact the world, some with consequences that could come back to bite you.

• An exciting narrative filled with side quests and things to explore. There are plenty of things to sink your teeth into within this expansive module. You’ll be creating your own objectives and following leads that interest you.

• Expect your characters to be fully integrated into the game world. Your backstories have meaning, and elements may even play out in the game world. Hunted by an Assassin? Better watch your back, who knows who's lurking behind street corners. My goal is to make a unique experience for YOU, which involves tailoring the campaign to the characters involved.

• Rules as Intended. As a DM I believe in RAI (Rules as Intended) over RAW (Rules as Written). I much prefer to create a fun and experimental atmosphere, whilst keeping the game fair for everyone.

• The listing states 'Voice and Video'. however, video is optional as part of playing the game. You will be receiving a weekly 4 hour session.

• LGBTQ+ Friendly (both the group AND in-game world), zero tolerance for bigotry, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.

Why should I pay?

A valid question. Paying to Play offers several benefits beyond Free to Play games, such as;

• I am a trained Actor by Trade. I have experience and training in skills that will enhance your gaming experience; voice acting, creative writing, improvisation.

• A Rich Compendium. Your compendium will be rich with the content from all CORE 5e books (PHB, DMG, VGM, Tasha's) as well as content from some other sources books (Setting & Modules)

• A dedicated DM. As someone who has tried their luck at joining free games on Roll20, I know it can be difficult to find a good session. Many times you will join a group where players don’t show up or the DM is unprepared, causing the game to fall apart rapidly. In paying, you can assure yourself that I am dedicated to bringing you an exciting experience. Furthermore, I will work on original material in-game to insure a personal experience, including, but not limited to, fully integrating your backstories.

• A Fair and Comfortable Group. Free games can be loaded with people that are uninterested in the game, or with those that wish to simply disrupt. When everyone pays, you know that the other players are ALSO dedicated to the game.

• A Mediator. Part of the DM's role is to insure fairness among the group, but not every DM has the skills to navigate conflict. I have the interests of the group in mind, and the experience to deal with problems if they arise.

• Additional Support. Along with the game, I can spend time supporting your character creation and directions you want to go later down the line. Included, is a FREE Session Zero.
