About the Dragonreach Campaign (Pinned)

DRAGONREACH is a D&D campaign involving multiple DMs (Tom, John, Travis, and hopefully more soon) and several dozen players.  It is a "drop-in" campaign that meets every couple weeks, with all the players adventuring in the same world.  It began in December 2018, and is still going strong years later, with more than 50+ games completed to date.

A link to the (waaaaay too long) HOUSE RULE PACKET (updated Nov. 2023) is HERE.  It has all the rules for character creation, earning and using Dragonshards (our version of D&D 5e Inspiration), and spending gold on titles, holdings, and memberships in various factions (which give characters bonus starting Dragonshards as well as many other benefits).

Dragonreach - A Land Unconquered

This land yields to no master.  Fearsome beasts, savage hordes, and unspeakable horrors await any who would try to claim it.  The elves tried first, crossing the Sea of Storms in their tall ships, but their towers were razed and toppled.  The dwarves came next, but they, too, were driven into isolated holds and all-but exterminated.  Man, as is often the case, has been slow to learn.  At least six separate attempts have been made to claim the Isle of Dragonreach, each ending in fiery cataclysm.  The seventh such attempt is underway now...

After borrowing titanic sums from a number of kingdoms and merchant princes, the mighty and ruthless Invincible Overlord of Dragonreach, Setebos Du'Graal, has reclaimed and is rebuilding the port city of Pyre.  Adventurers from every land have been called to assist the effort, lured with the promise of wealth beyond measure, as well as lordships, titles, and their own fiefdoms if Dragonreach can be tamed.

The land about you is said to be filled with all manner of incredible treasures, scattered across the ruins of both ancient civilizations and prior, would-be conquerors.  But, above all, only in Dragonreach can the incredible crystals known as "Dragonshards" be found.  They are said to be the most potent form of raw magic anywhere in the world...
