Session 0 - Character Creation

With a strong desire to switch things up Pete and I have been discussing for a little while now about starting a second campaign and switching roles with him taking over the mantle as DM and I the role of player. Now well into our Tyranny of Dragons campaign it felt the time was right. 

So, which campaign? As a player I've always been drawn to Rime of the Frost Maiden with its mix of frozen horror survival and DnD fantasy. So with the campaign sorted we needed a team of adventurers to take on the task. 

It was agreed that we would follow the same house rules and game mechanics as ToD and that a party of 4 characters would be ideal. Happy to take this on I started to create the party and their backstories that would bring this team of adventurers together. The last few weeks have been spent deciding on the races and classes. 

We can now reveal the party make up for this exciting upcoming campaign as follows.

Aldrick Meadowgrove - Male Variant Human Wizard.

Shayde - Female Variant Feral Tiefling Rogue.

Grom Battlehammer - Male Mountain Dwarf Ranger.

Tor "The Bear" Ridgewalker - Female Goliath Druid.

With the party assembled we sat down to roll abilities. Although we use DnD Beyond to keep track of characters it's always more fun to roll dice and so this is how we determine ability scores. Fate if you will. Happily most of the roles were good and we a well rounded team. 

So with the characters in place, backgrounds and secrets selected it was time to head into the frozen wilderness of Icewindale all of which will be revealed in the following instalments.
