About the adventure
The world has ended, and it’s ending again. Three hundred years ago, the Cataclysm brought ruin to the world of Krynn. In a single day, an age of wonders came to an end. The face of the world was reshaped, and the gods themselves faded into legend. Through ages of struggle, the peoples of Krynn survived, but the world isn’t what it was. Those nations that remain linger in the shadows of their ancestors’ wonders. Rumors now spread of massive Dragon Armies in the east. legions of soldiers devoted to the wicked god Takhisis the Dragon Queen. Does the world faces ruin once more? The War of the Lance has begun, and in a conflict between gods and dragons, a wounded world hangs in the balance. What will you do to tip the scales?

About me
Hi, I'm Skyler. I've been running D&D 5e games for 8 years. Currently have only run fifth edition D&D (2014 and 2024). I am a transgender woman, and pride myself on providing a space where everyone is free to be themselves and leave the cares of modern life behind.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Will be using the 5e 2014 rules for the game with some light homebrewing. -Level 2 start -Point buy for stats -Take max HP for level 2 -Players will be able to choose a bonus feat at levels 1 and 4 -work together one on one between sessions to flesh out you backstory. Note* Dragonlance is a medevil fantasy setting. Some of the more exotic species options may not be appropriate. However, I'm more then willing to work together and find a way to make your crazy ideas fit.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
For this game you will need: -Discord -D&D beyond account (free one is just fine) -Microphone -Web browser that supports the Foundry VTT.
What Skyler brings to the table
What will you provide your players? I'm a newer GM to the Start Playing platform but have been running games since 2018. I use the Foundry VTT. The game will include dynamic lighting, music, 3D dice, intergraded charater sheets, and more I work hard at making combat in my games taticaly ingaging and not just a slogfest. There are ways to avoid combat at times but this game does take place during a war so combat is inevitable and potentionaly deadly. Bring a balance of roleplay, combat, and exploration. My NPCs are engaging and fleshed out. Some of whom you will love and others you will love to hate. We will work together to create a compelling character arc that integrates your backstory and the overall conflict at hand.
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion as a bonus action Flanking gives (+2) to attack roll Going unconscious gives a level of exaustion Gain a feat at level 1 and 4. Yes that does mean Humans start with 2 feats. Open to homebrew rules that you enjoy.
