Dragon Riders| Academy Fantasy in Krynn
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
You are a dragonrider, one of the select few accepted into the Darastrix academy for dragonriders. You’ve been given a chance to study dragonkind, raise a dragon from its egg, and eventually ride it. Together you will protect each other and the world from the forces that seek to throw it out of balance. But first you have to graduate! But graduation won't come if the school is shut down. Someone has stolen a clutch of eggs form the academy, and unless you can find out who did it the angry parents will end the academy and the dragonriding program with it.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
We will be using the 2014 rulebook for character creation. Players will have a collaborative session 0 to make characters and the dragons you will bond with! Session 1 will start at the beginning of the character's first year at the academy, with the characters starting at level 3. There will be 7-8 sessions in total (including the session zero). You do not need to be familiar with the world of Krynn or D&D to play in this campaign.

What I provide
I am a DM with 7 years of experience playing fifth edition. I've also run a 3 year long hybrid paid game for beginners. I use silly voices, descriptions of monster and player attacks, and sometimes music to bring players into the game. I play most things by the rules. I have read the War of the Lance Trilogy for Dragonlance, as well as War of the Twins. I guarantee fast paced, memorable combat, with monsters from practiacally any published D&D material, as well as some you've never seen (homebrew monsters)!
Gameplay details
Lines and Veils will be sent as an anonymous form and incorporated into a table agreement during the first session. We will take a break every 45-60min to allow for snacks, water, bathroom breaks, or cool down.

How will character creation work
We will develop characteres together during session one, at level one, and the events of session one will influence your character's subclass in level two, but you will have full control over that choice. Stats are generated by rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest. Players can use any source material to make characters, but should know that the playable races of Krynn are Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Elves, Aaracockra, Goblins, and minotaurs.
