Tyranny of Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

In the realm of Faerûn, a dark shadow looms on the horizon, heralding an age of fear and chaos. The Cult of the Dragon, once a fractured and secretive cabal, has united with a singular purpose: to bring forth the Queen of Dragons, Tiamat, from her infernal prison. Whispers of their dread plans have reached your ears, and fate has chosen you to stand against this rising tide of evil. The Call to Adventure From the quiet hamlets of the Sword Coast to the bustling streets of Waterdeep, rumors of dragon sightings and mysterious disappearances have spread like wildfire. As the skies darken and the threat grows, brave souls are needed to uncover the cult’s sinister plots, rally allies, and ultimately prevent the apocalypse. Your Journey Begins You find yourselves in the town of Greenest, a once peaceful village now under siege by ruthless raiders and a menacing blue dragon. Amid the chaos, you must defend the helpless, uncover clues about the cult's ambitions, and begin a perilous journey that will take you from ancient ruins and hidden strongholds to the heart of a vast conspiracy. Heroes Wanted Will you answer the call? Will you stand against the Tyranny of Dragons and thwart the resurrection of a god-like being? The path ahead is fraught with danger, deception, and dragonfire, but the rewards are great for those with courage, wisdom, and an unyielding spirit. Join Us Gather your companions, sharpen your blades, and prepare your spells. The fate of Faerûn rests in your hands. Together, we will forge a legend that will be told for generations. Are you ready to face the Tyranny of Dragons?

Playing Tyranny of Dragons with Robert right now. Robert makes these games a lot of fun. I have had several campaigns with him at this point. Super knowledgable with the rules and reasonable when it gets fuzzy. If you have a clever idea he will will work with you but it’s not gonna be a gimme. If you’re looking for a game give Robert a shot.

Since the 80's I wanted to play in a Dark Sun campaign and thanks to Robert, it's happening. Robert is a welcoming game master who's patient with those who are new to Fantasy Grounds and who also weaves a tale with his games. 110% recommended.

Robert is truly a master DM. His game pacing is incredible, he knows how to weave a story, knows the rules, is enthusiastic and fun, and his experience goes back decades. He even runs podcasts on DnD. I feel lucky to sit as his virtual table.

Robert is a fantastic GM. He runs an extremely professional game, with sound, visual aids and all necessary tools prepped and ready to go. He knows the Dark Sun setting probably better than the original designers, and draws on that knowledge to create a vibrant world and fun game. He’s unquestionably one of the best if not the best DM I’ve ever played with.

Robert is a great GM; he's well versed in both rules and backrounds, and he knows how to make every player feel included and connected to the world and story. By far the best GM I've had in a Dark Sun campaign, he knows Athas amazingly well. If you have a chance to paly with him, take it!
