Rise of the Dragonauts | Custom 5.5e Campaign | 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Creating your character

Players will meet with the DM in a one-on-one session 0 prior to the game, and will be able to build their character using applicable 2024 and expanded rules sources, as listed below. Players will work with the DM to ensure their characters align with the lore of Illaxia (e.g. homeland based on species, background, and class; appropriate religion/deities, etc.). A quick guide to the basics of Illaxia will be available for interested players. Note that the DM reserves the right to limit the number of players who may take specific character options (including subclasses, classes, backgrounds, and rarer species) to ensure game balance and give each character a chance to shine as part of the team. Character creation will follow the 2024 Players' Handbook ruleset. All options in the 2024 PHB are available, as are the subclasses and spells from Xanathar's Guide to Everything and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (adapted to the 2024 ruleset). Species are divided into Common and Rare. Common species can be found in most areas of the world, while Rare species may come from only one or two regions and may be limited. Species may be found in the 2024 PHB or Mordenkainan's Monsters of the Multiverse (adapted to the 2024 ruleset): COMMON SPECIES • Dragonborn (PHB) • Dwarf (PHB) • Genasi (MM) • Gnome (PHB) • Human (PHB) • Kobold (MM) • Orc (PHB) • Tiefling (PHB) RARE SPECIES • Aasimar (PHB) • Elf (PHB) • Firbolg (MM) • Goblin (MM) • Goliath (PHB) • Halfling (PHB) • Lizardfolk (MM) • Sea Elf (MM) • Triton (MM) • Yuan-Ti (MM)

Preparing for the session

All players must have a microphone and a relatively distraction-free environment. Ideally, all players also have a working webcam and are willing to use it. Games will be played in Roll20, with character sheets and die rolling on D&D Beyond. Players should have a Roll20 and D&D Beyond accounts before game time.

What Delphi brings to the table

I bring a unique thought process to my games, creating dynamic and responsive stories based on player decisions, needs, and desires. See why so many adventurers keep coming back!

How Delphi creates a safe table

Rise of the Dragonauts is a moderately paced classic Dungeons and Dragons adventure set in a custom realm of knights, princes, and dragons. The game is appropriate for mature audiences interested in exploring the frontier and societal challenges of a proud and ancient kingdom during a period of transition. The goal of this game is to have fun. Players' safety and mental health are crucial; all players will always have access to safety tools. Players will be given an RPG checklist before the game to indicate any lines and veils they may have and can update these at any time with no explanation necessary. Additionally, all players will have multiple means to utilize the X card, including on video, VTT, chat, and with a Discord emoji.
