About the adventure

šŸ‰ Welcome Cadet! You’ve been recruited by Wyrmward Academy, legendary training grounds for the realm’s elite defenders. But the Academy is only the beginning, your true mission lies beyond its walls where dragons are stirring across the Sword Coast! Prepare to explore a brass dragon’s glittering lair, withstand the fiery wrath of a red dragon, corral a mischievous gold dragon, and more. This is your chance to face every one of D&D’s iconic chromatic and metallic dragons. The Wyrmward Academy is a full campaign built from the official Dragon Delves anthology—a thrilling series of 10 dragon-focused missions woven into one epic story, guiding your character from levels 1 to 12 using the new 2024 D&D 5e rules. Over the course of this campaign, you will: 🐲 Face powerful dragons, each with a unique lair, goal, and challenge. šŸ“š Study & Preparation: Before each deployment, your team will be debriefed by Academy instructors. Learn about the target dragon’s lair, temperament, motives, and known dangers. → Your skill checks (Nature, Insight, History, etc.) determine what intel you uncover or miss. 🧭 Field Missions: Venture into the wild, investigate strange dragon activity, and choose your approach: battle, negotiation, trickery, rescue, or retreat. 🄚 Carry the Brazen Egg: A mysterious artifact that stirs with each encounter and must accompany you to every dragon’s lair. Uncover its secrets as your journey unfolds. šŸ›ļø Academy Downtime: Between missions, return to Wyrmward Academy to train, craft, rest, and reflect. We’ll use Xanathar’s downtime rules, and at Level 5, unlock your team’s own custom Bastion. šŸ“±āœļøThis is a play-by-post game, ideal for those who enjoy detailed roleplay, collaborative storytelling, and slower pacing that allows space to shine in-character. To keep our game moving it is important you are committed and able to check in and post daily!

What Natasha šŸ“– The Anthologist brings to the table

šŸ—ŗļøThis is a play-by-post (PBP) game, you can expect a rich, visual experience. I love using character art, maps [Owlbear Rodeo], and other visual aids to bring the world to life. Between missions, we’ll also use downtime activities and the Bastion rules (starting at level 5) to help you develop your character and leave your mark on the world. šŸ˜Ž My GM style blends Rule of Cool with respect for the rules. I reward creativity and bold choices, but I also value consistency and fairness for everyone at the table. Think of it as a flexible structure where the story always comes first. ⌚I’m here to build something collaborative and exciting with you. I’ll support your character’s goals and give you meaningful choices, but I also expect players to stay engaged, play respectfully, and contribute to the shared story. To keep the momentum, I expect regular daily check-ins and posts from both players and myself. Consistent communication is essential, if you need a break or expect delays, please let me know in advance so we can adjust accordingly.

Homebrew rules

Homebrew content is welcome, as long as it’s discussed and approved ahead of time. I’m happy to work with you to bring creative character concepts or flavorful mechanics to life, so don’t be afraid to ask! This game is generally ran/played Rules-As-Written, but some tweaks or additions may come up situationally to keep the pace and fun flowing, but we’ll always prioritize clarity and fairness for everyone involved.
