This game will be played on Wednesdays from 19:00 EST to 23:00 EST every other week starting on January 7. "Something stirs in the northern frontier of the Forgotten Realms. A land ravaged by the Spellplague and then again by it's aftermath has only now begun to recover, yet the sound of taut leather snapping and the low roar that could almost be mistaken as a storm by the ignorant has been heard all across the north. From the isles off the Sword Coast, to the snow-capped peaks of the Spine of the World; from the bustling streets of Neverwinter to the wooded pasturelands along the many intersecting trails, all look upwards in fear and terror, as shadows rise to blot out the sun and bring calamity and domination. The Dragons of the North have returned, and without the acts of brave heroes, the North will be ravaged once again." GREETINGS ADVENTURERS! I am the Average Joe, an average DM with thousands of hours of DMing experience looking for above-average players to join in one of my many passion-projects! As always, new players and veterans alike are welcome! "But what is Dragons of the North and why should I choose your game over al the others", you ask. This is a campaign that has long been in development, combining materials from the last 10 years of Dungeons and Dragons and giving beloved adventures like Lost Mines of Phandelver, Dragon of Icespire Peak, and the Divine Contention a fresh coat of paint and a lot more potential for diverging choices. This is a classic D&D adventure for a modern audience looking for challenge, drama, stakes, and consequences (both weal and woe) that will take the intrepid heroes up, down, and all around the northern reaches of the Forgotten Realms. You can't get much more Dungeons and Dragons than a campaign all about going into dungeons and fighting dragons! What do YOU get out of playing in my game? You get: - A mega-campaign that doesn't just end when you reach level 8 or 10 or 12 or when the boss is defeated. There are always more adventures to be had! - A Free Session 0 where you actually play the game! Don't worry, character creation is handled 1 on 1 with me beforehand. - An attentive DM that is highly invested in making you feel like you have a deep sense of agency in the world and like your character is meant to be there. - Diverse Combat that will challenge you and the party to think tactically, as a team, rather than as separate individuals. Likewise, combat that pushes forward the story, informs you about the world, or gives you new enemy types you haven't faced before. No lazy random encounters here! - A wide variety of locations all across the Northern Forgotten Realms for you to explore and get stuck in with. Each town has a story! - A dynamic storyline, where your actions or lack thereof directly impacts your region, which can ultimately affect the overarching plot. - A DM that wants you to feel things such as anger at a horrible betrayal, sadness when a comrade dies, or glory when you finally slay the dragon together. So if any of that sounds like it has some interest to you, then grab up your swords, bows, lutes, and staves, and SIGN UP HERE the save the north! This game will be played in D&D 5e (2014+).
