Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Embark on an epic journey through the world of Krynn, a land where brave knights, cunning mages, and fearsome dragons vie for power and survival. As heroes of this saga, you'll navigate the complexities of allegiance and honor, with the fate of Krynn hanging in the balance. The world teeters on the brink of darkness, threatened by the sinister machinations of the Dragon Highlords and their relentless quest for domination. Amidst this turmoil, ancient prophecies resurface, hinting at the return of long-forgotten gods and the rise of new champions who can wield the legendary Dragonlances. Will you stand as a beacon of hope and lead Krynn into a new era of peace, or will you fall before the overwhelming might of the Dragonarmies? Gather your courage, for the legends of tomorrow are written by the heroes of today. Prepare for an adventure where epic battles, timeless magic, and the bonds of fellowship will define the destiny of a world.

Game style

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.

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

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.
