Thania: Fragile Thrones || Political Intrigue || LGBTQ+ šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

ā€¢ Starts at level 1 and ends at level 14. ā€¢ A world of political intrigue, high-stakes combat, and urban mysteries. ā€¢ Forge alliances or shatter them; navigate the ambitions of the faithful, the cunning, and the ruthless. ā€¢ Unravel conspiracies, seize opportunities, and shape the fate of a kingdom on the edge. A realm on the brink. Factions scheme, old grudges smolder, and buried secrets threaten to ignite chaos. From the bustling streets to lawless frontiers, danger lurks at every turn, but ambition carries both risk and reward. Step into a sprawling, character-driven campaign where every decision carries weight. Negotiate uneasy truces, expose treacherous plots, and find your way in a world shaped by your choices. Or perhaps, the fragile thrones of Thania will crumble beneath you.

I played a mini-campaign with Samuel and had a fun time. He ran a well paced adventure with plenty of action. His voicing of "a certain pointy-hatted wizard" was spot on. In addition, Samuel is a good listener and takes the time to let everyone contribute to a conflict resolution before moving on. Would play again.

I feel so lucky to have had Samuel as DM for my first campaign! Not only is he a fun and creative storyteller and voice actor, he's patient with new players and always is sure to include everyone at the table in the fun. A wonderful choice for any player. I'm eager to join in another adventure ASAP!

Samuel is a great DM who always makes sure everyone at the table is having fun and feels included. He's very open and adapets to crazy ideas his players come up with - rewarding creativity. He also sets the mood with great ambient music and voice acting for the characters we players have to interact with. I'm having a great time altogether and looking forward to continue in his campaigns for a long time.
