This episode contains spoilers for the Dragon of Icespire Peak D&D module.
We review the Dragon of Icespire Peak module from the D&D Essentials Kit, from the perspective of both a GM running the game, and also players experiencing it. The module takes new characters from level 1 to 6, culminating in a (hopefully) epic encounter with the eponymous dragon.
