Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen

About the adventure

Campaign Description In a world ravaged by war, the actions of heroes can have world-altering stakes. Defend the people of Kalaman against seemingly insurmountable odds as Krynn prepares for war. Game Expectations This is a war-torn high fantasy campaign setting with mature themes. RUSSELL KIRKBY DUNGEON MASTER (RKDM) Epic. Cinematic. Narrative Driven Gaming. With a background in stage, film and TV, both in front and behind the camera--Russell’s interests centre on the power of roleplaying games to create unique, shared experiences--that exceed the expectations of his players. With thirty-five years of experience running tabletop roleplaying games, Russell's philosophy as a DM is to create "the illusion of total agency" for his players. He is equally at home running team-building exercises as he is teaching professional screen-acting, kicking in doors or slaying ogres. If you are looking for a story-focused, character-based roleplaying game (one-shots, campaigns, mini-campaigns) Russell will bring his considerable storytelling techniques and abilities to bear, delivering you an adventure which you will remember. Presently, Russell also offers a free video service to those who wish to rewatch their sessions and also keep a permanent record online. (Either public or private facing depending on the group’s preferences). Examples of these sessions can be found on Russell’s Youtube Channel RKDM under Playlists. You can also watch and interact with Russell and the Vaingate Chronicles cast, live on Twitch RoleStream (Check Our Schedule on-site). Examples of Russell’s DMing style, can be found at: youtube.com/c/rkdm1

How will character creation work

Depending on the group we will either have a group Session Zero or I will have a conversation with each player to assist them in making their characters. I usually use Discord or Zoom for this.
