About the adventure
Welcome Adventures to the Sword Coast where the peaceful lands and seas are being attacked. Small towns have been raided and attacked by groups of cultists and dragons that fly with them. Now many dark creatures and evil societies are coming into the light and reaking havic on innocent people. You find yourself in the southern reaches of the Sword Coast in the small town of Greenest. It's a quiet farming village with a helpful hand around every corner. Though the talk of the town is all about the raids and abduction happening all over the country. This is where our adventure begins. This campaign is a long term game lasting from levels 1-15 and maybe more. This game follows the Tyranny of Dragons module with your character backstory elements thrown in to make the game unique.

About me
Hello everyone, I am Michael and I have been a Dungeon Master for four years, in that time I have ran over ten campaigns for many new players and have one on going for the past two years. I enjoy having a laugh at my games and letting players discover the world that awaits them and all it's secrets. As a DM I like to help create stories with my players that brings them the most amount of fun while playing. I see myself as a DM that views the rules as more of guidelines and will work around them to create a interesting game with my players. I focus mainly on 5th edition modules with my own little twist and homebrew ideas to make our games just a bit more of a unique experience. I enjoy playing with both new comers and veterans to the game to create a fun and safe space to enjoy D&D. I will also work to ensure that it is a safe space for all players. So let us start an adventure together, what do you say?

Creating your character
When you decide to join, think of a character concept and message me the idea. We will have a session 0 to talk about backstory that might connect to this campaign. I will send you a link for D&D Beyond to join this campaign with your character and we will make your level 1 characters.
If you like dragons, then campaign is for you. Feel free to message me if you have any questions before you join. The Campaign is now at level 4.

How DungeonMike creates a safe table
0️⃣ We will go over rules and safety tools in Session Zero, and I am happy to accommodate your needs! ◦ First we will discuss character creation and backstory. ◦ Then go over the things you will need to prepare for the campaign. ◦ Finally we set expectations for the open door policy as well as breaks. 📞 I will check in with players regularly, and can be reached out of sessions. 🚫 Disrespectful, hurtful, hateful speech or behavior is zero tolerance 🧝 As an actor I favor Roleplay encounters so if you enjoy that you will have fun. 🐲 You will face a wide range of different enemies in combat, and a lot of Dragons 💀 This is a dangerous module, character death is a possibility.
