Dragon of the Week

About the adventure

A new Dragon with a new Lair, Wednesday nights, 7pm Pacific! This will be a relatively straight-forward one-shot, with a pre-defined goal for your Party: You stand at the entrance of the Dragon's lair. You are a group of already-renowned, well-experienced heroes with your own personal reasons for wanting to slay the Dragon inside. Whatever your reasons are - a charge by King or Deity, a loved one held hostage, a lust for treasure and glory, a hatred of all Dragons, a hatred of this Dragon in particular, or loyalty to someone else in the Party - just make sure your character wants to, at this moment, slay the Dragon. Because that's what we're doing. Dragon type and age and lair will vary week by week.

How to prepare

You'll want to flesh out the stats for your D&D 5e characters as much as you can before starting the session. Just about anything in any 5e rulebook or supplement is fine, 27 point buy for Attributes. Cosmetic homebrew changes are totally fine. If you want more-than cosmetic homebrew, just ask me first. Feel free to make and host your character on whichever platform you'd like, just make sure I get a copy of your sheet, or a link! Character level and starting magic item limits will vary week per week. You don't need to know the rules of the entire game front to back - I just ask that you know the rules most pertinent to your character by the time we're playing, please and thank you!

What I provide

I'll make a Lair map on Shmeppy, a simple map-making site that's free for players. There will be a dice-rolling app installed on the Discord server. You are also free to roll physical dice in real life, Honor System!

How will character creation work

You'll be playing D&D 5e Characters (level depending on the Dragon of the week in question), 27 Point Attribute Buy - just about anything from any 5e rulebook or supplement is fine. Feel free to make your character using whatever application or means you enjoy most, I'd just like a link, or a copy, etc. This is a very straight-forward Dragon slaying one-shot, so feel free to play as any Race/Class/Background normally allowed to players. Any purely cosmetic homebrewing is totally fine.
