About the adventure
"Thunderous wings beat in the distance. A cacophony of terror and despair follow in their wake. Oh what a beautiful sound, the sound of change, the sound of ruin. On wings of destruction we go forth!" Tyranny of Dragons is an epic story told across two adventure products, of which this is the first. Characters begin at 1st level, and by the end of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, they should be 7th or 8th level and ready to continue with The Rise of Tiamat. Tyranny of Dragons is set in the Forgotten Realms on Faerun’s western shore—the Sword Coast. A thin strip of civilization stretches down this coast, where widely spaced cities are arranged like beads on a string. A combination of roads and wagon tracks loosely connect the cities that stretch from Luskan in the north to Calimport in the south, passing through Neverwinter, Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, and other great ports along the way. The bulk of this adventure takes place on the stretch between Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter. Joining part way through the campaign is acceptable, but any player who joins within the day of the session will have to wait until the next session to join, just for the sake of easing into the campaign.

About me
Hello future heroes! I have been Dungeon Mastering for close to 5 years now and have been playing TTGs for the past decade. DND5e is what I primarily use to enrapture my players into my worlds, but I am always up for learning the systems for other systems as well. My favorite thing as a DM is getting to see the characters the players create have genuine moments in the worlds that I spin, it really is a feeling like no other. That being said I absolutely love when my players go wild with the roleplay, but have an equal amount of joy when they immerse themselves in the combat. Overall I am fairly "Laissez Faire" with how players want to progress and interact with the world around them, so long as everyone at the table is onboard with the direction. Overall my campaigns offer opportunities for both role-players and combat aficionados to enjoy themselves and I am always open to communicating with players on any subject that they have about the game or DND in general.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen during the session zero or beforehand if players reach out to me. During creation I will help in any way I can to ensure everyone has their ideal character to play with through the campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will require a mic for communication since the primary platform we will be using is Discord. Webcams are not required but can be used if the players feel the need to. No prior knowledge will be required, but will be heavily encouraged to speed up game time, but any and all questions will be answered no matter what. Discord Account Needed Roll20 Account Needed
What Aveio A. brings to the table
I have access to many modules and official content to share with the players for no extra charge. I create the vast majority of my maps so there will be a quality of passion behind my work that I feel players will appreciate. Also currently I have many artists to recommend the players to if they want their character portraits more specialized. As a bonus some of these artists are willing to offer discounts for any player I refer to them.

Safety
How Aveio A. creates a safe table
Players can expect a variety of both combat and roleplay encounters during this campaign. Players can also expect a variety of rule sets designed to make the players consider choices more carefully. Exhaustion will feature more prominently in the campaign if the players are too reckless, and the world state will change for better or worse with their actions.
