About the adventure
Prepare to defend the Kingdom of Cormyr from a rising tide of darkness and despair in this epic campaign, blending the best of Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, Tyranny of Dragons, and Descent into Avernus! Set in the renowned Forgotten Realms, this adventure plunges you into a realm besieged by threats from both the heavens and the hells. Cormyr’s northern frontier teeters on the edge of annihilation as the Cult of the Dragon, led by fanatical zealots, wages a devastating campaign to bring Tiamat, the five-headed Dragon Queen, into the world. Meanwhile, infernal forces stir beneath the surface, promising a cataclysm that could doom the kingdom. You and your party are the realm’s last hope. In the fortified city of Arabel, known as the Granary of the North, soldiers and citizens alike prepare for an inevitable siege. The Cult’s horde, bolstered by merciless chromatic dragons, advances relentlessly, leaving smoldering ruins in its wake. But not all threats come from outside the city walls. Treachery, moral dilemmas, and hidden agendas lurk in the shadows. In this high-stakes campaign, the fate of Cormyr depends on your choices, courage, and cunning. This campaign offers a thrilling blend of intense combat, deep roleplaying, and world-shaping decisions. You’ll rally desperate townsfolk, forge uneasy alliances, and face the temptations of forbidden power as you battle dragons, uncover ancient secrets, and delve into the infernal mysteries threatening to consume the land. With every decision you make, the stakes rise higher. Will you embrace heroism and sacrifice, or succumb to the temptations of power in the face of impossible odds? Perfect for mature players aged 18+, this game is ideal for those who love immersive storytelling, intricate character development, and a balance of tactical challenges and moral complexity. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or new to epic campaigns, this collaborative journey will test your resolve and leave you with unforgettable memories. If you seek a world where dragons rule the skies, devils scheme in the depths, and your choices define the future, join Cormyr Under Siege: Shadow of the Dragon Queen today. Will you be the saviors of Cormyr, or will you watch it burn?

About me
Welcome to my D&D5e realm! I'm Chris, and I've been passionately guiding adventurers through epic tales for the past 4 years. With a player group of up to 6, my table is a place where your character's story truly matters. My DM style is deeply character-oriented, as I take pride in weaving your background into the fabric of the world, making your journey feel personal and impactful. Visual storytelling is a cornerstone of my games. I bring the world to life with rich images, detailed maps, and immersive settings, ensuring you can visualize every twist and turn of your adventure. My ability to improvise on the fly means that your choices genuinely shape the story, creating a dynamic and responsive game world. I approach game planning with a professional, deliberate, and methodical mindset, always ensuring inclusivity through the use of safety tools. My schedule is regular, and I fully leverage digital tools to enhance your experience. You'll have access to content on DnDBeyond, our games will be run on FoundryVTT, and we'll communicate through Discord. My love for D&D is boundless, but as with any passion, it comes with its costs. By hosting these games, I'm seeking a way to finance my hobby, ensuring that I can continue to provide the best experience possible. On a personal note, I bring over a decade of military discipline to my DMing, and when I'm not rolling dice, I'm a proud dog parent to two majestic Alaskan Malamutes. Join me for an unforgettable journey where your character's story is at the heart of the adventure. Let's create epic memories together!

Chris is a very patient, creative, and laid-back DM. The worlds he creates have a lot of detail & he gives you lots of opportunities to RP, if you like to do that. The maps he uses have a lot of detail & he uses some really cool homebrew mechanics that make the game more exciting and fun to play. I'm currently 5 sessions in on a really long campaign and I'm really glad I signed up to play with him.

DiceMasterWizard (DMW) is a phenomenal DM. He loves RP and he is always open to the ideas of the players (mostly). He has his boundries, and that's perfectly ok. He is great at storytelling and exposition, and he excels at improv (mostly). He has just the right level of strictness though to give you the feel that you can't completely derail the campaign and break the game. DMW has easily earned 5 stars from me even if his voice acting is non-existant.

DiceMasterWizard (Chris) consistently provides an excellent experience for all players. What stands out most is Chris's dedication to utilizing all available tools to enhance the game. He's not only proficient with current resources but also proactive in exploring and implementing new ones. Importantly, he doesn't force changes on the group; instead, he thoughtfully presents potential updates and ensures everyone is comfortable with the transition, respecting the group's preference to stick with familiar systems if desired. Furthermore, Chris actively solicits and listens to feedback. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that all players remain engaged and invested in the game. He clearly prioritizes creating a fun and inclusive environment for everyone. Perhaps most impressively, Chris demonstrates a remarkable talent for bringing shy or inexperienced players into the game. He uses gentle encouragement and well-placed prompts to help them feel comfortable and contribute to the story. This is a crucial skill for a GM, and Chris excels at it. Overall, DiceMasterWizard (Chris) is an outstanding GM who goes above and beyond to create a positive and engaging gaming experience for everyone at the table. I highly recommend him.

After just one session, I can already say that Chris is a fantastic and knowledgeable DM, especially for those who value story, narrative, and meaningful interactions with the world. I'll be honest—I was a bit hesitant at first due to the lack of reviews, but wow, am I glad I didn't let that stop me! Chris creates an immersive and engaging experience, and you can tell he really cares about making the game enjoyable for everyone. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes!

How DiceMasterWizard (Chris) creates a safe table
Safety tools are a must, these will be discussed at a session 0. I'm quite comfortable with many things but in order to play, we need to have harmony among all the players and establish a common ground.
