About the adventure
For decades, the so-called "evil" Cult of the Dragon has been obsessed with all things draconic, and yes, that may have involved raising dragons from the dead to make zombie dragons, but only because an ancient prophecy said they had to! Not because they wanted to. But now the Cult is under new management. No longer just a crazed dragon fan club, they have become a serious threat. Their new leader believes they misunderstood the prophecy all along. It wasn’t about raising undead dragons, it was about raising THE dead dragon: Tiamat. Tiamat, the Queen of All Dragons, has rotted in the Nine Hells for eons. Her once-mighty empire erased from history, reduced to whispers and legend. The Cult intends to bring her back, and with her, a new draconic empire that will plunge Faerûn into fire, fear, and tyranny. As fledgling heroes, you’ll start small, chasing cultists through dusty roads and shady taverns. But soon you’ll find yourselves entangled in a world-shaking plot that stretches from the Sword Coast to the Sea of Moving Ice and finally into Hell itself. You’ll forge alliances with powerful factions, face dragons of every color, and uncover ancient secrets that could shift the balance of power forever. Want to try something reckless, insane, or just crazy enough to work? Do it! This is a high-stakes, cinematic campaign where bold choices, clever plans, and a little luck will determine the fate of the Realms.

About me
Hi there! I'm Joe aka Phoenix! I'm a seasoned GM with many years of experience running all kinds of different TTRPGs! I'm very supportive of my fellow LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy crafting unique character driven stories where your silly ideas shape the world around you.

Creating your character
Your characters will start at level 1, you can make a character before Session 0 if you like but character creation will be handled in session 0. that way I am there if you need help. I will also help tailor your character to the campaign and setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have the following: - access to a webcam/mic - a dndbyond account (for building characters and accessing the campaign and map/VTT) - a discord account (for playing the game)
What Joe (Phoenix) brings to the table
I will provide the dndbeyond campaign which has content sharing available so anything I own you can have access to as well, a discord server where we will play the game. I have a music bot in the server that will provide some nice background music and the occasional sound effect. I am a big believer and practitioner of the Rule of Cool and the "yes and" philosophy. Players can expect a rules light, roleplay heavy experience that focus on telling a good story.
Homebrew rules
- Drinking a potion can be either a bonus action or a full action. - On a critical hit in combat (Nat 20) you double the damage dice. One die is automatically the highest number on the die. Reroll 1's on the damage die - A Natural 20 on initiative gives you advantage on your first hit. A Natural 1 on initiative gives you disadvantage on your first hit. - When a dying character fails their third death saving throw, they can immediately take any single action Those are the Big Ones. A list of all these house rules and more that I use are listed in my discord server

Safety
How Joe (Phoenix) creates a safe table
Session Zero will go over personal rules, guidelines, safety tools and where to find and access them in the discord. I use the rules more like guidelines. I'm not a big stickler for the rules. My goal is for players to just have fun with it.
