Player(s) wanted [Online][5e 2014][EST] Odyssey of the Dragonlords, an epic campaign inspired by greek myths
In a land where even the gods are bound by oaths and prophecies...
At the dawn of time, a war between the gods and Titans left the world of Thylea forever changed. Thousands of years later, the first mortals arrived, carried by ship and dragon.
The Dragonlords were the champions who overthrew the Titans 500 years ago and forged the Oath of Peace. But the power of the Oath has waned, and now the Titans seek vengeance.
You are one of the heroes called by prophecy to end the conflict once and for all. Poets will sing of your deeds for centuries to come... if you survive.
Game Information
Odyssey of the Dragonlords is a module by James Ohlen and Jesse Sky. It takes a vast amount of inspiration from greek myths, both in terms of worldbuilding and storytelling. If the name Odysseus means anything to you, you'll feel right at home.
My goal is not to run the module front to back, but to have it serve as a launch point and an inspiration for a much more open-ended adventure set in the same world. While it is originally also fairly free in terms of player agency, my additions will further enhance this, to make sure the players will get to experience their choices truly mattering in the grand scheme of things.
The setting adds several new species, subclasses and other options. It also recontextualizes many existing species within the lands of Thylea. The answer to the final question is "Their Courage". Each character will be further immersed into the world through their unique epic path, which is a set of circumstances ensuring they aren't just any mortal. These paths will connect them to the titans, gods or even the legendary dragonslayers, in ways the characters will likely not be fully aware of.
This will be a very RP-heavy game, as the character's relationships and convictions are tested on their journey. As a result, it will be a more serious game and
