Dragonbane | Campaign

About the adventure

Want to play a daring fantasy hero and dive into adventure with your friends—without complicated rules slowing you down? Dragonbane is the perfect game for fast-paced, story-driven fun! Rumors have drawn you to the Misty Vale, a land of forgotten ruins and ancient secrets. But what you uncover could change everything. As you journey through perilous dungeons, unravel lost mysteries, and face unimaginable dangers, your choices will shape the fate of the realm. Do you have the courage to stand against the looming darkness? Join me on StartPlaying for an unforgettable Dragonbane experience. As a Swede who played the original adventures as a child, I bring an authentic touch to these classic tales.

Recruiting notes

This is an easy to learn game, even easier if you have played other rpgs before! Filling out the character sheet doesn't have to take more than 20 mins or so! Your PC will: 1. Have a clear motivation. 2. Be able to collaborate effectively with other party members. 3. Have a foil within the group: someone will complement your weaknesses or serve as a friendly rival. 4. Have a well-defined personality weakness. Use the 7 deadly sins for inspiration. 5. Have a well-defined backstory. Background Story Requirements: 1. Your story will align with the setting. 2. Your character's backstory should not exceed their current level of power. 3. Be concise, no longer than one page.

How will character creation work

Characters start as beginners in this campaign. We will create them together, during Session 0, though we can start sketching them before. Key is to create a group of adventurers that will want to stay together for a through thick and thin. Do not build a character that antagonizes the rest of the group!
