Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Have you ever wanted to be the Dragon? The terrifying force of nature that brings oh-so-many adventurer's tales to an end? The one sitting on top a hoard of gold and magical items of immense value. Let me give you the opportunity to be one. In "Draconic Tales", you and a few others will create and guide a group of dragons throughout their tumultuous life. The sandbox nature of the campaign will allow you to do it all. Play games of intrigue at the heart of draconic culture. Fight against the ancient enemies of the dragons. Drop down in the world of mortals to build up your influence and wealth. If that sounds fun go right ahead and join!
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
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.

How to prepare
Please have a decent microphone and internet connection. All talking will happen through Discord so you will need an account there.
What I provide
I am a mainly theater of the mind GM, while some maps will be present using Owlbear Rodeo to host a portion of the combat encounters, the majority of visuals will come in the form of art references. I am very into Homebrew, so expect many unique magical items to accommodate the unique game concept. You will have the ability to bring your character concept to life even if its a bit "out there". You are a dragon after all, right?
Gameplay details
The player experience will be mostly dictated on what the overall party enjoys doing the most. That said I as a GM am very roleplay oriented, placing emphasis on my NPCs and worldbuilding over intricate combat encounters. But whether you wish to do intrigue or just go out and fight beasties your size, it is up to you. It should be noted this isn't an "Evil" campaign. Being a chromatic dragon should not mean your character becomes an irredeemable asshole. While themes of racism and otherwise will be present, your characters overall should not lean into them without some modicum of taste. Further to add to that we'll be using Lines and Veils mainly to avoid any triggering complications : )

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen at Session 0 and afterwards in DMs to iron out a couple of the unique aspects of your character. We'll likely be using the Dragonflight 3rd Party book. Do not bring any of your own homebrew. Be open minded when it comes to character creation since obviously most normal 5e character concepts just won't work for this campaign.
