About the Adventure

A young, white dragon has laid claim to a region of the Sword Mountains. Displaced by more powerful dragons afar off, it has chosen the snow-capped territory as its domain. Sightings are becoming more frequent in surrounding townships, and the dragon’s attacks prey on the weak and vulnerable… for now. And yet, these are not the only whispers on the air. Alleged sightings of a green dragon are the topic of tavern chatter, and there are rumors that a blue dragon has overtaken an island off the coast of Waterdeep. How many dragons have ventured to the Sword Coast, and why are they here?

 

Who is a good fit for this campaign? 

Brand new players, early beginners, and experienced players will all enjoy this campaign. Don’t worry about knowing all the rules, that’s the GM’s job. You can simply join, play, and have fun in an immersive, collaborative storytelling experience.

 

Who will like this campaign?

  • Players who like to strategically prepare and fight dragons will enjoy this game. 
  • Players who want to explore, investigate, and solve problems in creative ways will like this game.
  • Players who enjoy traversing a rich fantasy landscape while collecting clues, items, and information to aid them on their quest will enjoy this game. 
  • Players who are new and experienced will both enjoy this campaign.

 

What if you’ve never played an RPG, what is it like?

The campaign will be character-driven, putting you at the center of the plot. Your choices will decide the outcome. We’re here to tell a great story that makes you feel like you’re in your favorite book or movie.

 

What is the GM’s game style? 

Lauren runs campaigns that balance the three main aspects of D&D – roleplay, exploration, and combat. She provides ample opportunities for characters to roleplay with lifelike NPCs and describes a vivid world environment prepped for exploration. Combat scenarios are unique and challenging.

 

What does the GM provide?

The GM provides access to DndBeyond source materials, as well as any assistance you need building your character.

The GM uses the AlchemyRPG virtual table top application, as well as immersive music and ambiance during sessions. 

 

How should a player prepare? 

You’re welcome to create a character concept prior to our first session, but plan to be flexible if necessary. We will be creating/finalizing character plans together during our first session as a group. 

Make sure you have a working microphone/headset and webcam.

 

Campaign module:

The campaign will begin with a playthrough of “Dragon of Icespire Peak” and proceed to branch into adjacent module adventures. We will also incorporate quests, interests, or encounters associated with the characters’ backstories.

 

Gameplay Themes/Warnings:

This campaign includes typical fantasy themes that one may find in stories like Lord of the Rings. Themes of dark and light abound, so violence in this context is found throughout.

 

If you have any questions:

Please reach out to the GM using the site’s messaging portal, or through Instagram. Lauren would be happy to answer any questions you have!

Detail Oriented & Engaging

March 4, 2024

I have played on several tables with Lauren she is fun & engaging to play with. As a GM for a mini campaign she was fantastic. She makes great stories that get you invested in the world you are playing in. She asks great questions & is very fair with 5e rule interpretation. I wish her tables weren’t full so fast so I could play at her table again. She is inclusive & very welcoming. I highly recommend her if you want someone who will help you bring you character to life in the world you are playing in.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing with Lauren in several campaigns and she brings a great energy to the table. I recently finished a two shot campaign she GMed and it was fantastic. She invests in the details, characters, and environment creating a wonderful setting and story.

So Much Fun

Just finished my first ever RPG! Lauren made it easy and fun. She walked me through the prep and character creation and then all I had to do was enjoy the game. Can’t wait to do it again.

I'm a forever GM, and I like it that way. I love running games, and I had subpar experiences with other GMs in the past. I always found myself bored or uninvolved or thinking, "I could do this better." But with Lauren, I finally have a GM that I adore. I never missed being a player before; in fact, I never really wanted to be a player. But now that I've had Lauren as a GM, I understand why people love being a player so much!

She is invested in the players *and* the characters. She's able to weave the story in a way to incorporate every character at the right times with the right meaning in ways that the players playing them appreciate. In other words, she listens well and pays attention. When you play in Lauren's games, you feel like you're actually a part of an incredible story weaving together before your eyes. She cultivates an encouraging atmosphere where players feel free to respond, offer feedback, and make friends around the table.

If you've had bad experiences with D&D or TTRPGs, Lauren is the therapy you need. If you're a Forever GM, then Lauren is the one to make you excited to become a player again. Be on the lookout for any more games she prepares!

I happened upon Lauren by way of a random Instagram story (thanks algorithm!) and within a week I was playing my first ever TTRPG. Lauren was a fellow player in that instance, but since then I’ve had the good fortune of playing in a one-shot and an ongoing weekly campaign with Lauren as my DM. She is imaginative, collaborative, patient, and fully invested in providing a fun and immersive experience for her players. I look forward to game night every week (we have THE BEST group) and I thank my lucky stars for providing me the chance to meet and play alongside Lauren. Highly recommend :)

Lauren is a great GM. She's a very creative storyteller who is great at building the world up around you. She's very easy going and is totally chill if you don't understand or need a little explanation about game mechanics. She's also really flexible when it comes to what you want to do with your character. I have had character traits/abilities I wanted to bring into the game but wasn't quite sure how they would incorporate and she helped me figure them out. If you're on the fence about joining her game go for it! She will make you feel right at home in a totally different world.

I've played in a couple of Lauren's games now: One-Shots and Mini-Campaigns. She's an excellent storyteller who presents a living, breathing world in which you feel connected and engaged. She develops the story seamlessly, making every moment feel like the natural existence of the world and not another 'plot hook.' By doing so, she allows every player to have dynamic involvement and freedom. She adapts on the fly with ease and it makes you think that it was her plan all along... maybe it was—she's clever enough for me to think that it's so.

Every player feels welcome at her table, and it quickly becomes a session of fun and excitement.

Oh, and her character voices/accents... I wonder if she had professional voice training or actually lived in Russia, Brooklynn, and Ireland sometime in her life.
