Dragons of Phandelver | Phandelver Meets Tyranny of Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The adventure begins on Stormwreck Isle, where the heroes find themselves caught in the echoes of an ancient dragon war. Soon they see signs of a rising darkness—rumors of dragon cultists, strange magical disturbances, and ancient relics awakening once more. Their journey leads them to the frontier town of Phandalin, where a lost mine—rich with long-buried magical power—has just been rediscovered. But the mine is not as forgotten as it seems. Goblins, mercenaries, and sinister agents of the Cult of the Dragon are already making moves to claim it. As the party works to save Phandalin, they uncover a chilling truth: the cult seeks to raise Tiamat, the Queen of Dragons. What began as a quiet voyage to a mysterious island becomes a sprawling battle across the Sword Coast. This adventure is set in the Forgotten Realms and combines Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, Lost Mines of Phandelver, Dragon of Icespire Peak, and the Tyranny of Dragons into one long campaign. The combination of these modules will mean certain parts are very linear, while other parts will be more sandbox (for example, Dragon of Icespire Peak is more of a sandbox, but Tyranny of Dragons is more linear).

Tyler is an honestly perfect DM for my chaotic audhd brain. He allows for creative freedom, has amazingly in depth worlds, and helps guide us feral party players without being restrictive. I'm in multiple (read....almost all at this point lmao) of his campaigns and I love every single one - both Tyler as the DM and the environment he's cultivated for players:D 100000/10 recommend.

Tyler is the kind of DM who takes our disastrous ideas and quirky characters and makes them feel like part of a thoughtfully planned narrative. He juggles intrigue, chaos, and questionable character decisions with effortless skill, keeping the world reactive and immersive—despite our best attempts to derail it. Final Score: 5/5, would drug a guard again.

Highly communicative, clear, good instructions in PBP. The gameplay is creatively designed and allows everyone to do and interact where, when and how they like to. Very enjoyable and easy going!

loved loved loved this session , it was awesome !!! DM included everybody equally and really helped us as most of us were beginner players but he made us feel like we've been playing for a long time ( as a new player some dm's can make you overwhelmed this definitely was not the case ) awesome one shot :D definitely would play again

We had an amazing game. Tyler made it work with a group with different experience levels, in a fun world. He had done a lot of preparation, and also was quick on his feet when we did the unexpected. Great fun.
Additional details
How to prepare
Players should have created accounts for Roll20 and Discord and connected to the server to ensure a smooth start to the game. Players should also message me to discuss whether you want to create your character yourself or if you want me to create it.
What I provide
I use Roll20 for combat and maps and use Discord for voice chat. I tend to be a pretty lax DM, embracing the Rule of Cool and making the game more about being fun and creating an awesome story! I am a writer and I have a background in theatre, so I can create intricate characters and plotlines. I'm also a master worldbuilder, having spent countless hours developing various D&D worlds.
Gameplay details
I will send each player a request for their Lines and Veils and we will discuss them before beginning (This process would be anonymous. Nobody at the table would know who set each line or veil, just that someone at the table set it).

How will character creation work
Start at Level 1 We will begin with a free Session 0 where players can create characters and discuss the game. Anybody who joins the campaign later should coordinate with me to make sure either I can make your sheet or you can! Players are encouraged, but not required, to make a character that is one of the following: 1. A traditional fantasy archetype such as an elf archer, dwarf with an axe, or bearded wizard. 2. Something related to dragons, such as a Dragonborn, Drakewarden Ranger, Draconic Sorcerer, or Cleric of Bahamut. 3. Something specific to the Forgotten Realms, such as a Dwarf Battlerager Barbarian or Cleric of Forgotten Realms God.
