GM Eric's Darkfrost Playtest "Fangs In The Frost" - April 6, 6pm Central Time
Join the playtest of GM Eric’s new adventure series, Darkfrost April 6, 6pm Central Time!
NOTE! This is a playtest, and as such is designed to be exceedingly challenging!
The Coalition of Ivory Veils has put out a request for competent contractors to fulfill a job requiring discretion, and adherence to specific instructions. This escort mission begins at the Veilstone Bastion in the Darkfrost.
The reward for success will be key for future adventures in the Darkfrost. Both in wealth, and in reputation with the Coalition of Ivory Veils.
Playtest participants will also get their name, and character name, added to the credits of this adventure.
Participant feedback will be used to continue development of the Darkfrost adventure series.
**Game Details**
We'll be playing D&D 5E.
This is a challenging adventure. During the playtest, should a member of the party die, or the group be eliminated, the group will receive a mass resurrection, and be allowed to retry the encounter after tuning by the GM. This can be repeated until the four-hour limit.
Voice/Video chat, we'll be using Discord for voice chat. I will personally be available on video within Roll20.
I will record the session for your and my own protection, but the video will remain unavailable to the public unless you agree otherwise.
Sound Effects and music are played within Discord for environmental effects and ambiance.
Beyond20 browser extension is encouraged to facilitate play.
Critical strikes will have the first die maximized, and then roll an additional die.
Potions will be bonus actions.
**Character Creation**
Special Darkfrost setting rules will be provided to the participants.
D&D 5e (2014)
Level 4
Standard Array for Ability Scores.
Fixed HP
Starting Equipment, and 3 Potions of Healing, Cold Weather Clothing
All alignments welcome, just remember that consequences are real.
My unlocked DNDBeyond content is shared with all participants of the session.
Character backstories are welcome, and may influence future adventures. Just keep it to a few lines, no more than one or two paragraphs.
**About Me, and what to expect:**
My one-shots target a time-range of 3-4 hours, and start on-time.
I will personally be in the game at least 10 minutes early.
I've been a DM for about 38 years, full-time professionally for a long time. With that, I do like to bend the rules to fit the needs of the situation at hand.
If you want to try something cool, let's see what you've got, and I'll do my best to work it in. If you can make someone else's character cooler through your action, I'll do my darndest to make the return even better.
Recording of the session will take place, but this is intended for reference material, and unless otherwise agreed upon, will remain unlisted, and unavailable to the public. If you would like access to the video, I'll work with you to get that setup.
**Payment**
This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $40/session. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements. Payments must be made prior to the event, and may be made via my website at www.GMEric.com. (One-shot payments, my website accepts credit cards, Paypal, and more.) If you're not satisfied with the session, or need to cancel, let me know, and I'll work with you to find a reasonable resolution.
**Disclaimer**
While most of the art I use belongs to me, I occasionally use other peoples' art as reference, and do keep a log of who the owners of the art are. This is done in order to abide by fair-use laws. The art in question is meant to serve as examples of settings/characters, and not as specific references unless otherwise stated. Art used in this manner belongs to the owner, and I claim no rights to it.
**Something else?**
If you have questions, feel free to send me a private message here on Roll20, or in Discord, and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
