The Legend of Dragoon

About the adventure

⛓️⚔️When the clash of swords echo, the journey chasing the past ends and the journey to know today begins. One soul seeks another and pledges their sworn friendship to another. One mystery begets the next and the doors of fate are opened. ​ You are free to sever the chains of fate that bind you.⚔️⛓️ 🐲Take the role of the legendary Dragoon knights in this epic struggle for the fate of the world!🐲 ​ Based on the cult classic Playstation game, this homebrew D&D 5e campaign follows the story of the Legend of Dragoon. It has been a long-time desire of mine to run this as a homebrew campaign. Set on the continent of Endiness, you will play a group of individuals who are on a quest to find and confront the Black Monster for burning down your home village, Neet, 18 years ago. Upon returning home to your new village, Seles, you discover your childhood friend, Shana, has been kidnapped and taken to nearby Helena Prison. In your quest to free your friend, you find a much deeper, treacherous plot that you must see through to the end.

Additional Details

How to prepare

This is a homebrew campaign, and races and classes will be limited. This is a low-magic campaign, of sorts. Magic-using races and classes are prohibited, with the exception of a custom Wingly race, that has a few racial spells. Though player characters are low-magic, magic itself is a large part of the campaign. Magic will be present in the game in the form of scrolls, which will replicate the effects of magic attack items from the game. Dragoon magic is also present. Player races are limited to Human, Giganto, Mininto, and Wingly. Player classes are limited to Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, and Rogue, with limited non-magic subclass options. Games will be run using Roll20 for battle maps and tokens, D&D Beyond for character sheets and dice rolls, and Zoom for video and voice chat. I encourage use of a webcam, but mic and speakers are a requirement. I recommend playing on a desktop or laptop. You will need a free Roll20 account, free D&D Beyond account, and free Discord account. There is no need to create a character prior to Session 0. We will cover character creation and other information on Discord as well as during Session 0. You will also receive Session 0 documentation on Discord that will help you get started.

What I provide

D&D Beyond homebrew content, which I will enable for players, and a Dragoon additive-class rule book PDF. Roll20 maps and tokens.

How will character creation work

Characters will be created on D&D Beyond. A backstory for your character can be created, though you will have a partial backstory already in place. Characters will be created using the standard array or point buy method. Characters start at level 1 with standard starting equipment for their class. You may roll for HP or use the fixed method.
