Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Tyranny of Dragons Reloaded! 🐉 Heavily Modified 🐉 Beginner Friendly 🐉 "Online-Inperson" Format (See description) 🐉 Level 2-15 🐉

About the adventure

A village in flames and a sinister cult with mysterious motives to blame! Face down the Cult of the Dragon and their draconic allies to uncover what plans they're hatching, for the fate of the Sword Coast will depend on it! Will your hero take up arms against these scoundrels? The Tyranny of Dragons module is a good one for both first time and veteran players with a two thirds focus on combat and one third on intrigue and discovery with plenty of room for roleplay in between. The campaign takes place in the Faerun setting and will see the heroes crisscrossing the Sword Coast region to uncover what the Cult of the Dragon has planned and put a stop to it. If they can! The Tyranny of Dragons module gets a lot of flack for being somewhat poorly written and while after running it I can say it's not too awful, it leaves a lot to be desired. For that purpose I have heavily modified it to make it more enjoyable and in many ways more intense. I've tried to really crank up the high stakes feeling of the campaign. Without getting too into any spoilers, did you know the original module only has five scripted dragon fights? In a campaign with Dragons in the name, none of which are Red Dragons either, the kind you think of when you hear "Dragon." Fixing this missed opportunity is one of the main changes I've made. "Online-Inperson Format" This is the style of play we'll be using, something I haven't seen being offered and what makes this game extra unique. A physical tv screen with a map is streamed through discord, on which will be placed minis of your characters and the enemies. I have 3D printed and painted minis for every combat encounter we'll be running. Roll20 will be used for rolling and character sheets. For an example of what this will look like, feel free to join the discord and check out pictures! Since this is not for everyone, I still operate Roll20 the exact same as any other online game, this is just something extra that I like for an extra layer of engagement and unique play! And yes, if you make a heroforge character I will print and paint it for the table! https://discord.gg/fWZuCvK9rx A free session 0 where we go over expectations and character concepts will be held before playing! Can't wait to meet ya!

Additional Details

How to prepare

A microphone and discord account are required, and a webcam is encouraged but only if you're comfortable. Reading the rules in the players handbook ahead of time is encouraged but not required, I'm happy to help teach new players. If possible, would prefer to discuss D&D's rules ahead of time 1 on 1 with any new players. Players will make characters individually but I am happy to work with players 1 on 1 to assist them with the process.

What I provide

We will playing through the "Online-Inperson" format I mentioned above. I will also be utilizing sync-tube for ambient and combat music throughout the campaign. We will primarily be going with rules as written but rule of cool every now and again never hurt anybody.

Gameplay details

During Session 0 we will go over any triggers players have and any topics they do not wish to be included in the campaign. Players are of course welcome to private message me if they do not wish to discuss publicly with the other players.
