Dracaria: Ashes of Arcadius
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
You awaken in a daze, your heart races as you gain your composure. The ringing in your ears indicate that you were just knocked out, then promptly revived, by an explosion of energy. As the ringing subsides and you realize what's going on, you jump to your feet to aid your companions in the battle against the mad scientist Melvin Shatterspark! It's your turn; What do you do? Dracaria is a realm of myth and mayhem. This high-fantasy campaign spans from level 1 to 20 and beyond if the players so choose. Players will embark on a journey through the Scorchlands fighting off sand pirates, or delve into the depths of the Storm Forge and defeat an evil genius before unleashing a monstrous creature into the world, the adventure is entirely up to the choices of the players. Please note that I do have a fully fleshed out campaign that runs the players through the main story, but the campaign can (and usually does) go off the rails, and that's ok. Jump into this epic quest that brings players against an evil Lich and his minions. Armies of undead, demons, and other nasty creatures inhabit this world. Are you ready to heed the call of adventure?
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Every Friday 8:30pm-11:30pm PST - Open to all Wizards of the Coast products including 2014 and 2024 rules.

Additional details
How to prepare
Players that are creating their own characters must have their characters ready prior to session 1. If a player is not prepared, I will have pre-generated characters ready to go as needed.
What I provide
I will provide pre-generated characters as need, a digital copy of the world map, and offer my services for character illustrations.
Gameplay details
This game does not typically have adult themes unless the situation calls for it. I have an open door policy when it comes to players comfort levels. If something makes someone uncomfortable, I will adjust accordingly. I want everyone to have fun, so I will do what I can to make this as enjoyable as possible.
