Greeting and salutations!

War is coming. Rumors of dragon armies on the move are whispered in taverns. Monsters the likes of which were never seen before are on the rise. Legendary heroes who once fought to save the world have switched sides. And the worst is always what you have no idea about...

About the game

Shadow of the Dragon Queen is a game about the War of the Lance, a very big deal in the Dragonlance setting. There are already novels about it and it's outcome is predetermined, which is why we won't adhere 100% to the lore. I'd rather create a paradox than give enemies plot armor and railroad everything.

I've done some heavy homebrewing with the adventure, looking to make it feel more like a Mount and Blade experience with the party recruiting their army a few soldiers at a time, rather than just following the plot.

About you

You're an adventurer. Unlike most adventures, I'd like to run small miniquests for 1-2 players at a time, then let you meet in a tavern. There will be more to do during session zero, but it should be worth it.

About me

I've been DMing Dungeons and Dragons since 2015. My approach to games is very sandboxy: I create the world, the players create the game. The players can't ruin my plans if I have absolutely no plans in the first place, it's a win-win!

Technical stuff

Session Length: 4 hours per session, with a 5 minute break somewhere near the middle. As with most groups I know, we often go a little overtime.

Time: 5:30PM CST

Date: Thursdays

Payment: 10$ per session, other than your first session and session zero.

The village of Willowshore has an odd tradition: Every year the villagers dress as ghosts and "kidnap" a group of strangers, in order to show to any real ghosts that the village is already haunted and there's no reason to come this way.

You wake up in the woods, but not everything is as you remember it being a few hours ago.

The group

This party has been playing together since January 2021. Everyone is stable, punctual, respectful, and fun to be around. One player left in December due to work issues, and i was so loathe to tamper with the party dynamics i didn't even look for a replacement. Recently a second player had to take a break for personal reasons, and three just isn't as fun. My goal is to recruit up to a party of five, leaving room for him to come back in a few months.

Anyway, after playing for four years we've played Tomb of Annihilation, Rime of the Frostmaiden, Curse of Strahd, Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage. After all that the party was asking for something "different", which brought us to the third party Jewel of the Indigo Isles. Which brings us to...

Pathfinder

Everyone here is a 5e veteran and PF noob. I spent the last couple of months learning the system, ran a few one-shots, and finally feel confident enough to run a full game. So far i've found it better than 5e.

The game

Season of Ghosts has been highly regarded as one of the best written adventures out there. To the extent i feel the biggest draws to it are plot twists that will be revealed much later. It also has some of the easiest combats of PF adventures, which makes it even better for new players.

If you like:

  • Spooky ghosts
  • Solving mysteries
  • Asian themes and aesthetic
  • Goofing around with like-minded fools

Then this is the game for you!

The DM

Greetings! I'm Arthur but you can call me Merc or DM. I've been DMing since 2015, professionally since 2020. My approach to games is very sandboxy: i create the world, the players create the game. You can't ruin my plans if i don't have any, it's a win-win!

Technical stuff

Session Length: 4 hours per session, with a 5 minute break somewhere near the middle.

Time: 5:30PM CST Tuesdays.

Payment: 10$ per session, other than your first session and session zero.
