Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Travel Through the Looking Glass of Heart’s Desire. In this expanded version of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, you are tasked with stepping beyond the veil into the realm of faerie to discover the fate of a domain’s enigmatic ruler. To survive this whimsical and shadowy plane, you must navigate fog shrouded swamps, primeval forests, and dramatic twilit peaks. You’ll strike deals with eccentric guides, find allies in unlikely places, and outwit a ruthless cabal of hags. From solving magical environmental puzzles and mastering the strict rules of fey etiquette to infiltrating hostile archfey courts and exposing a grand conspiracy, your party will conquer challenges through clever tricks, sharp wit, and bold diplomacy rather than simple brute force. This campaign begins with "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" and expands into a bubbling cauldron of a witch cold war, where even the most legendary spellcasters can topple at any moment... $20/session. https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmuli7ww000d2jy04e4z9xyym?slug=cly4hl6oe0067fuv70a54yaqv

Welcome to our game! We are an open and affirming 🏳️‍🌈 group looking to fill out our regular, weekly dnd 2024 5e game. You would be joining our existing game of five players. We play weekly on Wednesdays from 8:30 PM to 11:30PMish Eastern Time. Our Rules We play 2024 Dungeons and Dragons 5e in a world which we have built and will continue to build together. We are flexible with the rules, adjusting them to make the game more fun and removing the rules we find less fun. While we have been playing dnd for decades, we have a series of house rules to make the game more interesting, and we may need to make adjustments once we go along. Our Game Here are some details about our game, to help you decide if you think we would be a good fit: - We favor roleplay over tactics, doing what our characters would most likely do, rather than what tactically makes the most sense. - We split the time between roleplay and combat about 50%/50%, with some sessions being entirely story driven without any fighting. - We do not do dungeon crawls. We do not recommend min-maxing, instead building the character to help tell the story. - Fights can and will likely be dangerous, and character death is a possibility (but death does not always mean the end of the story!) - We favor teamwork over individualism. If your instinct is to run off and do your own thing when you get to town, you will not likely fit in well with this game. We want to play with each other, and want to help develop each others’ stories. Our World In our next campaign, we will be playing in a game based on the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. This will not be a massive dungeon crawl. The focus will be on story development, puzzles, interesting NPCs and determining how you would interact with them. The story will be: your character is from the current, real world and you have been forced into this massive dungeon to survive. You will start human and have a chance to become something else, as well as earn a class as we play. This game will add additional, custom elements to the game to make it more interesting and give more options for players as they figure out how to survive the dungeon. About you - To fit in, you need to be an open minded player who favors fun over everything else, not just yours but everyone's. - You are welcoming, accepting and supportive of all types of people. - You are a team player and are comfortable sharing the spotlight, and enjoy when others have the opportunity to shine. - You are comfortable putting the needs of the group above your own, and sometimes being outvoted. - You are comfortable with the use of safety tools, and prepared to respect others preferences and boundaries. - You can come weekly regularly, are reliable and timely - You love Dungeons and Dragons and other TTRPGs and are excited to play every week on a regular basis. - You are comfortable with technology and digital tools. - Our tools and platforms have shifted over the years, and sometimes we shift based on the decisions of the tool’s corporate controllers. - Currently, we use zoom for video calls, discord for our chat, and a combination of different VTTs, (Favorites right now are Foundry and Shard). Interested? If you are interested, please fill out this google form to let us know, and we will reach out soon to schedule time to meet with some or all of our players:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdlloJaAOY9_rtYEroB-e4ipKQ8FAVfx_uaAcbjn9WAS0UUzw/viewform

Hello hello! I am Matthew. I am a new DM building a homebrew world, and I want your help filling in its history. Before my main campaign begins, I am running a series of one-shots set in "Year 0". This is when an apocalyptic cataclysm nearly ends the world. The future campaign will be set centuries afterward. This post is for a specific prequel one-shot for a party of four bards. AND you as the player ideally have an instrument to RP with and maybe play poorly. When? I run my business from home and have a family, so M-F during the day works best. These one-shots will take place Tuesday through Thursday, between 9:00am and 2:00pm Central time (chicago area). If you work from home, work nights, or live in a time zone where this is your evening, this table is for you! What is it? You will play level 6 bards surviving the chaos of a larger conflict. You may be "just" bards, but together you can make a real difference in this harried, crumbling world. All of this happens under the shadow of the First King, whose mysterious sacrifice during this era saves the realm but curses his bloodline forever. Legacy? Yup If you survive, I have a "Fortune & Fate" roll planned to help determine your character's epilogue. Though you will have plenty of creative control over their outcomes. My particular hope with this one-shot is to establish a few bards as local heroes of sorts. And in the epilogue and leading into the future campaign, these bards and their instruments will be cherished.
