Tyranny of Dragons (Horde + Rise)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

A nefarious group with a sinister plan is rising in power and aims to summon the dragon queen, Tiamat, from the Nine Hells to the Forgotten Realms. As a brave band of heroes, you will navigate through perilous landscapes, from bustling cities and eerie forests to ancient ruins and treacherous mountains. Unravel the dark schemes, forge powerful alliances, and stand against the tide of evil threatening to engulf the world. Will you have the courage and cunning to thwart the cult's insidious plans and save the realms from an age of draconic tyranny? This campaign begins at level three and ends with the heroes reaching level twenty. The combat encounters have been scaled to present a challenge, but the story remains (mostly) unaltered. Some additional content has been added via player character stories. The sessions I run are more about keeping the flow and the fun of the game going - so don't worry if you're not a rules expert. I use Foundry VTT (2024 rules) to run the game and Discord to communicate. Players can expect an immersive, unforgettable experience.

Recruiting notes

The party is currently transitioning from "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" to "Rise of Tiamat." Players are level 8 and will level up to 20 during the course of the campaign. As this is a longer campaign, I'd like to make sure any new recruits fit in with the current group before adding them on.

How to prepare

⭐Discord is required. ⭐No experience level is required to join, but players are expected to understand their sheets. If questions arise during combat, that's totally fine. It's just too time-consuming to have to look at each player's sheet and assist during every combat.
