For years, the evil Cult of the Dragon has devoted itself to creating undead dragons in a vain attempt to fulfill an ancient prophecy. However, the cultists were misguided. They misunderstood. But now, under new leadership, the cult believes that the prophecy does not speak of undead dragons, but of a dragon empire that’s been extinct for 25,000 years. Tiamat, the queen of evil dragons, has languished in the Nine Hells for millennia. The cult believes that the time of her return is at hand.The cult has a new face and a new mission. It seeks to free Tiamat from the Nine Hells and bring her into the Forgotten Realms. To accomplish its goal, the cult needs five ancient dragon masks and the support of evil dragons everywhere. The cult leaders—each one a “dragon whisperer”—have reached out to the evil dragons of the Sword Coast and earned their allegiance.

I started playing TTRPG’s around 25 years ago with some weird homebrew thing then got “enlightened” to DnD 3.0 and progressed through 3.5, 4E, Pathfinder 1.0, and 5E. There’s been some dabbling in GURPS, Masquerade and Starwars, but I like 5e the most. I believe Rules As Written (RAW) were playtested enough by experts that they should be used and only deviate a little so one homebrew character doesn’t overshadow others. I do take liberties as the DM, but it’s usually for player benefit. I’m not dictating a movie. We are collectively telling a story and hopefully making a memory.

Around college age I ran a game for about 24 hours with a break for about 6 while we slept.
I won a pre-release copy of R.A. Salvatore’s Timeless A Drizzt Novel by creating and submitting the backstory of a level 1 character.
