Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Hoard of the Dragon Queen - An Epic Dragon Cult Adventure Tyranny of Dragons threatens the Sword Coast! The Cult of the Dragon, long dismissed as a fringe organization of misguided scholars and dragon enthusiasts, has revealed their true intentions. Under new leadership, they've begun amassing a hoard of treasure—for what nefarious purpose, few can say. As villages burn and caravans disappear, heroes must rise to confront this growing threat. In this campaign, you'll journey from the small town of Greenest through the wilderness of the Sword Coast, visiting nostalgic cities like Baldur's Gate, infiltrating the cult's operations and uncovering a conspiracy that reaches far beyond simple banditry. You'll face challenging combat encounters, engage in tense social interactions, and make decisions that impact the world around you. Player agency is my priority—your choices and creative problem-solving will shape how this adventure unfolds. This game is perfect for players who enjoy a mix of tactical combat and roleplaying opportunities. Whether you're infiltrating enemy camps, negotiating with potential allies, or facing off against powerful draconic foes, there's something for everyone. I welcome both experienced players and newcomers to D&D 5e—all you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to collaborate in telling an epic story together. Join me for a campaign where reliability, inclusivity, and fun are guaranteed. Together, we'll discover what the Cult of the Dragon is planning and perhaps save the Sword Coast from a threat more terrible than anyone could imagine.

Colette was very patient with me as a newbie and let our party explore the world she created (despite the goofy antics we got up to) while still keeping us on track. I loved how she gave us the room to be silly and joke around with each other while still keeping up with the task at hand. Definitely recommend for new players and people looking for a chill vibe!

Colette runs a great game! She really knew how to roll our party's buffoonery into the story without losing the tension during encounters. It was tons of fun, really gave me a craving for turkey!

I had lots of fun playing a one shot Colette ran. She's great with pacing; she allows players to roleplay moments with each other while also pushing the story forward. I enjoyed the story as well and the combat was challenging but rewarding. The price for the one shot is super affordable too. Would highly recommend!

Additional details

How to prepare

A mic (or phone with discord) and access to roll20 from a computer.

What I provide

I will bring maps, tokens, enemy stat blocks, etc. In short, everything needed to run the campaign. If you send me a picture of your character, I will create a token for you as well.

Gameplay details

Tyrany of dragons is a long campaign which spans levels 1-15+ Roleplay is heavily encouraged. Create a good backstory, perhaps add some important npcs to your characters history, and leave it vague enough for me to fill in the holes, and you just may see elements of your backstory come up during the campaign. See my website for additional details on how I run things: https://sites.google.com/view/dmcolette/home
