About the adventure
"Thylea is doomed, the gods will all die, Mytros will soon fall, 💀 And all of the mortal folk wiped from the map," the Oracle cries. 🔮 Prophesied heroes, your destinies call. They summon you forth. 💫 From humble beginnings to larger than life, your journey will be 🏺 An epic of dragons, of gods and of men. This tale is your tale. 🐉 Generations of so-called 'peace' are coming to an end, and the predicted conflict will leave Thylea changed forever, but there is hope! The oracle has prophesied heroes who will rise up, end the conflict, and save Thylea. The oracle has foreseen you, and your great deeds that will shape the continent, the world, and the future of this land... forever. Let's just hope the oracle was right! This is a 5e campaign for 3-6 adventurers and will span from level 1 to 20. The campaign will use tactical maps for exploration and combats. This is a tale of destiny, divinity, and discovery in an epic tale of larger than life heroes!

About me
(he/him) Salutations! My name is Joshua, and I facilitate cooperative storytelling experiences. I have been GMing for 27 years with nearly 10,000 hours at the table behind the GM screen. Home games, con games, Short games, and long games. Simple, mysterious, Silly, or serious; I've run them. I believe that RPGs should be a safe playground where players can explore identities and ideas while feeling welcome and empowered. I design and facilitate my campaigns to center the player characters, weaving them into the world and building it up around them. My favorite genre is fractured fairy tales and fresh retellings of classic stories.

Creating your character
We will discuss character ideas and the party's backstory during Session 0. Please send your character sheet to me at least 24 hours before the Session 1 for approval. I am available to talk through character creation ahead of time, and can provide a pre-generated character upon request. Player characters are 1st level with starting equipment. Use the Standard Array or 27 Point Buy for ability scores. Choose an Epic Path (from the Odyssey of the Dragonlords Players Guide). Any officially published material is available for use, as well as new character options from OotD Players Guide, and homebrew and customization will be allowed, subject to review.
Party Composition: (Level 10) Druid, Cleric, Wizard, Paladin/Warlock (2014 Rules) Current status: On a grand voyage upon the seas of Thylea and the myriad adventures therein. Met the Fates. Joined a coup. Fought a titan. Would you like to help?
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A microphone is required to participate. A webcam is encouraged, but not necessary. I will have my camera on, and I'd love to see you too! We will be using Discord and Roll20 to play, so you will need (free) accounts for both of them. You might want to download the Discord client as well. Dice and character sheets will be handled within Roll20.
What Joshua brings to the table
As GM, I will provide the adventure itself, including maps and tokens. I will provide access to sourcebooks through D&D Beyond. I can provide pre-generated characters on request. Dice rolling may be handled through Roll20, through D&D Beyond (with the Beyond20 browser extension), or with physical dice.

Safety
How Joshua creates a safe table
Odyssey of the Dragonlords is an epic story full of kings and gods, conflict and injustice, and the impending threat of global catastrophe. This game will contain elements of violence and peril comparable to a PG-13 rated film. Please let me know if there are additional things I need to be aware of to maintain your comfort and safety. Racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and all other discrimination will not be tolerated.
