Mask of the Dragon Queen (Scales of Justice Prequel) lvl 1-16
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Hoard of the Dragon Queen + Rise of Tiamat + homebrew setting based on 4e Points of Light location (Nerath). For those playing my Scales of Justice campaign, this adventure is the prequel, taking place 20-50 years before. The campaign starts with your hometown under dragon attack. It evolves into intrigue, politics, cultists and the demon queen Tiamat. Beginner friendly, roleplay heavy.

Creativity
Storytelling
You want to feel like you mean something to a world? Want a hand in the creation, lore and life of the world? He keeps his world alive and constantly moving around you. We have had the opportunity to influence the world of Novamaterna from creation of the starting region, to the npc's, our connections to other players and more. Creates custom enemies so even if you think you may have issues metagaming some common monsters they will have a twist to them. Favorite interaction thus far? An owlbear leashed to something in the water with its owner pulling in the middle. Cut the leash between the owlbear and without a beat there went the owner towards the waters edge. Lost the npc and nearly a player to the creature we encountered, not to mention this was also the players first session! So if you want a world that will test you and feel like you are connected to this GM can do just that AND MORE!
though I have been in one campaign in total I extremely impressed with the 1st session of adventurers I've had a chance to participate in with the dm. Though I'm no really big on roleplaying my character but more so everything else, I didn't feel at all overwhelmed with the tension of unnerving vibes that I found my wrong group. The campaign is highly thought out and at times is on a dim of ideas to adjust to but isn't most campaigns packed with curveballs that require one to just go with the flow of the wind. I don't think it make a good story or imaginative vision of one's character if you wanted to be that character. I for one give my review based on my past sessions over the years.
Chad ran a fabulous adventure that had us all working towards different objectives while he was running a ton of story features behind the scenes. He was able to keep multiple players on different levels of a building engaged (massively split party) while not letting the game drag because of it. I was kept not knowing what was going on right up to the end and had a really good time. Hope to game with him again in the future and happy to recommend him to others!
Cousin Chad was not kidding when he said his emphasis was on storytelling and RP over combat and rules. The mechanics of 5e were simplified greatly in favor of the narrative. The GM was fair to players by balancing the time that the spotlight shone on different characters, and he was receptive to player needs and questions.
