3-5 sessions (potential to continue with the right group)
Weekly 3hr-4hr sessions
18+ (for now, sorry kids)
Aim for a good balance of roleplay and encounters.
Some travel that I hope to make interesting.
New players or patient veterans
About my DM style:
FULL DISCLOSURE: NEW DM/NEW PLAYER
We kick off with a session 0 to get our characters on the same page. I like to work some character backstory into my campaigns where I can. There are also premade characters if you want a launch pad. When it comes to world-building I like to take a collaborative approach with players contributing to the overall world building.
I try to have maps and tokens for most of my campaigns and if improvising scenes I try to work these in on the fly. I’m big on following the rule of cool and encourage players to get creative and come up with fun, creative ideas. If you want to destroy your enemies by black bagging them with your bag of holding and sending their head to the astral plain… Roll me a strength check baby!
I’m open to introducing magic items and homebrew rules and items too. I almost encourage it! If you want to create a secret for the party to discover later, I’m willing to keep your secret while we M. Night Shyamalan the rest of the party!
About the Campaign:
Setting:
The adventure is centred on Stormwreck Isle, an isolated archipelago with a long history of ancient dragons and mysterious ruins. The islands are known for their volatile weather, treacherous landscapes, and the presence of dragon-related lore. The environment is rugged, with towering cliffs, dense forests, and hidden caves, creating a rich backdrop for adventure.
Key Themes:
Exploration and Discovery: Players will spend a significant amount of time exploring the island, uncovering its secrets, and delving into ancient dragon lore.
Dragons and Lore: As the title suggests, dragons are central to the story. While there’s no direct "dragon-slaying" focus, their legacy and presence on the islands influence much of the unfolding narrative.
Mystery and Intrigue: The adventure involves uncovering ancient secrets, solving puzzles, and figuring out the motivations of different factions on the island.
Tone:
The tone of "Dragons of Stormwreck Isle" is a mix of high fantasy and mystery. While there are threats to be faced, much of the adventure revolves around exploration, investigation, and unravelling the island’s secrets, rather than constant combat. The module encourages role-playing and decision-making, and the choices players make will influence how certain aspects of the story play out.
Overall, it’s a great starting point for new players or groups looking for an adventure that blends dragon-themed lore, exploration, and mystery, while being accessible for those new to Dungeons & Dragons or looking for a more narrative-driven experience.

Hey! The campaign sounds super exciting - are there still seats available at the table?
If there are, I'd be interested in joining - my Discord is snapcrackle_n_pop if so!
