About the adventure
Entry level true hero campaign following the module as closely as possible. The following is the WOTC introduction to the module. “For years, the evil Cult of the Dragon has devoted itself to creating undead dragons in a vain attempt to fulfill an ancient prophecy. However, the cultists were misguided. They misunderstood. But now, under new leadership, the cult believes that the prophecy does not speak of undead dragons, but of a dragon empire that's been extinct for 25,000 years. Tiamat, the queen of evil dragons, has languished in the Nine Hells for millennia. The cult believes that the time of her return is at hand. The cult has a new face and a new mission. It seeks to free Tiamat from the Nine Hells and bring her into the Forgotten Realms. To accomplish its goal, the cult needs five ancient dragon masks and the support of evil dragons everywhere. The cult leaders—each one a "dragon whisperer"—have reached out to the evil dragons of the Sword Coast and earned their allegiance. Meanwhile, evil dragons in partnership with the cult seek to amass a treasure hoard worthy of their dark queen, not by plundering their own hoards (of course) but by stealing money from cities, caravans, good-aligned dragons, merchant ships, and other sources. Their ravenous hunt for treasure throws the Sword Coast into upheaval. Neverwinter, Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate—no city is safe from their depredations. The situation is dire. However, the Sword Coast is far from defenseless. Powerful factions are ready to rise up and put an end to the tyranny of dragons. Adventurers throughout the Realms must join forces to face Tiamat, destroy the Cult of the Dragon, and prevent the rise of a new dragon empire. The Harpers have since shared their intelligence with the remaining factions. To combat the Cult of the Dragon, Lord Dagult Neverember of Neverwinter proposes that adventurers representing each of the five factions be sent north to investigate—and to report back with haste. In their hands, the future lies.”

Creating your character
Please use point buy or standard array when creating characters. Any content from published WOTC 5e material is viable as I want to keep sessions as "new player" friendly as possible. I'm blending 2014 and 2024 rules.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
At a minimum I will need the party members to have a discord account and a mic for communicating with the party, dice rolls will be through the VTT which can be accessed via a link I provide
What Nathan brings to the table
I use a VTT (Foundry) which has content from D&D Beyond imported into the server. Maps, Tokens and other media are custom fit for the table as needed. I don't do character voices, but I do use ambient music to create the scene. I am very much Rule of Cool at least within reason. I do not expect everyone to know everything and I am incredibly patient with new players
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion as a bonus action, Critical Hits are max damage+rolls,

How Nathan creates a safe table
I will be sending anyone who wishes to join prior to their sessions a link to a google doc that will have a questionnaire which includes traditional lines and veils questions as well as providing a bit of background and expectations of the player. I also provide and expect everyone else participating to allow for an open space both in the group and outside of sessions for course corrections.
