About the adventure
🐉 THE AGE OF DRAGONS IS COMING For generations, the Sword Coast has known war, famine, monsters and political intrigue. But something is different now. Across the land, powerful forces are moving in secret. Caravans are disappearing. Treasures are being stolen from places thought untouchable. Strange alliances are being formed, and whispers of dragons are becoming more frequent. At first, these incidents seem unconnected. They aren't. Something ancient is stirring. Something that has been waiting for the right moment to return. The great cities of the Sword Coast are beginning to realise that they may be facing a threat unlike anything they have seen before. Powerful factions are gathering information, desperate to understand what is happening and who is behind it. But information is not enough. They need people willing to travel into dangerous places, investigate what others would rather leave alone, and stand against enemies far more powerful than themselves. They need adventurers. And that's where you come in. ⚔️ YOUR STORY STARTS HERE You might be a wandering sellsword looking for your next job. A scholar chasing an ancient mystery. A cleric following the will of your god. A rogue with something to prove. A wizard searching for knowledge that perhaps should remain forgotten. Or simply someone who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time. Whatever your reason for becoming an adventurer, fate is about to put you on a path that will take you across the Sword Coast and into a conflict far larger than you could possibly imagine. You'll investigate mysterious events, explore dangerous ruins, negotiate with powerful individuals, battle terrifying creatures and uncover secrets that have remained hidden for centuries. And as the danger grows, you'll discover that dragons are not simply monsters to be slain. They are intelligent. They are powerful. They have their own ambitions. And some of them are beginning to move. 🔥 The question is... When the dragons rise, will you run from them... or stand against them? Join the campaign, create your character, gather your companions and step onto the Sword Coast. Because the fate of the realm may ultimately depend on a handful of adventurers brave or foolish enough to get involved. The adventure begins now.

About me
Welcome, Traveller. Thank you for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt with over a thousand games run on Startplaying Games. I absolutely love tabletop RPGs, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that love by crafting unforgettable sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is a favorite of mine, and I bring that passion to every table I run. My goal is always to make the story leap off the page and help players fully immerse themselves in the world around them. While I respect the rules, the characters and story will always come first. It’s about having fun, sharing laughs, and letting the dice help tell the tale. Roll a natural 20? Expect something magical. Roll a 1? Well… it’ll still be magical, but probably not in the way you hoped. 😁 I'm especially passionate about helping new players find their footing, learn to roleplay, and get the most out of their game time. Not seeing the system you love? Just ask, I’m always open to new worlds and adventures. So jump on board and let me take you on a fantastic journey. Oh and don’t forget the snacks! I can’t wait to see you at the table.

How Bo creates a safe table
If you wish to talk to me about the content before hand please contact me. Players can expect an action packed game with lots of theatre of the mind and use of Owlbear Rodeo as a visual tool to assist combat and dungeon mapping. The game is a live game played on Discord and uses Owlbear Rodeo for VTT with D&D Beyond for character sheets.
