Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen [Chapter2/5|Level 5/13]

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

In their final hour, the Gods sent their thirteenth warning to deter the Kingpriest and his ritual. Trees wept blood, fires raged unnaturally, and cyclones struck the gleaming Temple of the Kingpriest. But the mortals failed and any chance of redemption was lost with it. A Mountain of fire fell from the sky, destroying Istar and creating The Blood Sea, coastlines shifted all over the world, sundering nations, drowning whole regions. Though some lands escaped the worst of destruction, none were spared the divine wrath. The gods and their blessings then faded from the world, and in time, even their names were all but forgotten. 3 centuries of darkness, famine, plague, and mass migrations. Elven nations shut their borders. Dwarves withdrew into their deep tunnels. Nations of Hobgoblins and Ogres took over what Human settlements left barren. As Krynn rebuilt and new societies arose, the world learned to live with a jarring truth: the Gods were truly gone. Religion on Krynn was altered forever. True clerics, who once worked miracles on behalf of their gods, had vanished. While some people remained devout, many others turned to false religions in search of answers and comfort. As Ansalon healed, a new threat grows. The Dragon Queen Takhisis. We find our heroes venturing to the quiet village of Vogler, to say goodbye to a family friend, for the last time.

Gameplay details

I want to preface this by saying that I've ran this adventure 12 times already. This campaign is my origin story as a DM and the first module I've ran professionally. I've since moved onto other campaigns and modules that themselves I'm nearing the completion to and are likely going to start other modules soon. Even running them my heart misses this campaign so I am very excited to start another Dragonlance campaign! My goal with how I have FoundryVTT setup is to make learning it as painless and as simple as possible. I use a beautiful UI mod to organize your moves into Actions, Bonus Action, Free Actions, and Reactions so you know which abilities are which. Also, with a simple, target enemy and a click of your weapon, the game will automatically roll to hit and damage leading to minimal time between turns and a faster paced game! No one likes waiting forever to get back to their turn. Lastly, I make sure at the end of every session to do a recap of the important lore bits we experienced as well as what lies ahead in the next session! Recently I have purchased Dungeon Alchemist so that I can make beautiful looking maps! Homebrew Rules: Using Double every other Diagonal rules for movement and spell ranges https://i.imgur.com/tZyn79Z.png Healing Potions: Bonus action as Normal, As an Action Rolls Maximum Death Saving Throws: being knocked to 0 HP or failing a death saving throw adds 1 point of exhaustion (nat 1 adds 2 points of exhaustion) to balance this, a short rest removes 1 point of exhaustion and a Long Rest sets your exhaustion back to 0) Saving throw Crits: ex: someone casts blight on someone else, Nat 1 rolls maximum damage, nat 20 rolls minimum damage Swift Action: Swap your weapons or make a skill check(Determine an Enemy's Weakness/intentions) Flanking: +2 to attack rolls

How will character creation work

During our one-on-one session 0(or as a group if possible) we will make our Characters on D&D Beyond, making sure our stats are correct as well choosing our backstory and assigning our free feat. After that I will import your characters over to FoundryVTT and help make your character's token! We will start at level 1, rapidly advance to 5(Should be level 2 after the first session, and then level 3 up to 2 sessions after that) and then make our way towards 11 by the end of the module, going to 13 with the Expansion written by Dragonlance Nexus, we may turn the campaign into a homebrew campaign afterwards or skip to do a level 20 Finale!
