About the adventure
Krynn is a world on the brink of war. The Dragon Queen’s armies gather in secret, forging alliances, raising legions, and preparing to unleash devastation across the land. Ordinary people are swept into a conflict far larger than themselves, and the choices of a few heroes could decide the fate of nations. Shadow of the Dragon Queen is a story of war, courage, and rising darkness. You will face enemy soldiers, spies, dragons, and impossible battles as the world changes around you. This adventure focuses on high-stakes heroism, military conflict, and the emotional impact of fighting for something bigger than yourself. Expect a mix of character-driven roleplay, tactical combat, and dramatic wartime moments. You will meet important allies, join resistance forces, protect civilians, and uncover the Dragon Queen’s plans bit by bit. The campaign rewards teamwork, bravery, and creative problem-solving. This game is great for players who enjoy epic storytelling, cinematic battles, and worlds with deep lore. Whether you know Dragonlance already or this is your first time, you are welcome at the table. All you need is a desire to become a hero in one of D&D’s most iconic settings.

About me
Hello adventurers, I’m Ted! I am a full-time professional Dungeon Master with over 1000 sessions of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition experience. I began running games professionally in 2021, but my love for tabletop roleplaying started long before that around real tables with close friends. That sense of camaraderie, immersion, and shared storytelling is something I strive to bring into every campaign I run online. I specialize in long-term, character-driven adventures where player choices matter and the world reacts naturally to the party’s actions. Whether you’re exploring cursed lands, navigating political intrigue, or facing impossible moral decisions, I aim to make every session feel memorable and emotionally engaging. Being Greek born and raised has also given me an unexpected advantage as a DM: my NPCs naturally carry the flavor and atmosphere of old-world fantasy settings, especially in darker and gothic campaigns such as Curse of Strahd. I primarily run official Wizards of the Coast adventures, though I’m always open to preparing additional material or custom experiences for dedicated groups. Above all else, I value consistency, communication, and creating a table where players feel comfortable investing in both their characters and the story. My goal is not simply to run a game, but to build a campaign players genuinely look forward to every week. I would be honored to guide your next adventure.

Creating your character
Players will start from level 1 and progress to level 11 in the span of this campaign. Each player should have a general idea of what character they'd like to play and then we will make the concept a reality together. Characters will be created at Session 0.
The party composition is: Warlock, Ranger, Fighter and Sorcerer. They are level 4.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All players need to have a working mic and a stable internet connection. Webcam is not necessary but always appreciated (it's nice to see the faces of the people you're talking to). Everyone should have a basic understanding of the rules, of course they will be assisted if they don't remember something. Roll20 as well as Discord account are necessary. Finally, players will need a Syrinscape Online account where I will be streaming music and ambience sounds from.
What Ted the DM brings to the table
I have a Pro account on Roll20, as well as all core rulebooks that I can share with my players. I am very proficient with scripts and macros on Roll20 that speed up combat a ton. Music and ambience will be streamed from Syrinscape Online since Discord music bots are not optimal.

Safety
How Ted the DM creates a safe table
On Session 0 we will discuss the rulings we will follow , introduce ourselves, decide on the party composition and go over the way the campaign works. We will roll for stats, but everyone will use the array we roll. If the rolls are bad we will go with point-buy/standard array for all. We will use the "X, N and O" cards as macro on Roll20. Players can expect a fast paced and rules light gaming experience.
