Character Creation

Fifth Edition's rules for Traits, Ideals, Bonds and Flaws should be one of its greatest strengths, but too often I've seen them overlooked and under-utilised. A house rule I'd often use in Dragon Princes games is to allow players to use story points to create details about the world and the adventure. For example, in the very first Tirenia adventure, the players had to infiltrate a heavily defended fortress. One player used inspiration to declare that his bardic mentor had performed there recently, and the players were able to track him down to get information. They then spent another point of inspiration to 'discover' a secret network of caves under the keep, and were able to tunnel into the cellar. This made using personality rules much more desirable in the game! Another important thing that personality rules can do is tie a player more firmly to a setting. Here are some optional rules that might do just that.

The Not-So-Secret History of Tirenia

  It all started when I worked at a local hobby store, running Dungeons & Dragons night. We’d done all the Adventurers’ League modules to which we had access, and now we wanted something new. I had the idea of having our own consistent world in which our players could adventure and leave their own stamp upon. I surveyed our player base to find out what they wanted: something European, but different from the medieval English pastiche; something where all the rules they knew still applied, but where the flavour had changed to make things different; something that could be explained easily, but with the depth to sustain multiple campaigns by different Dungeon Masters. My wife and I went out to dinner and came up with the basic idea: a world inspired by the Italian Renaissance, a highly civilized world with feuding city-states, each led by a different type of dragon. The players would be elite mercenaries, free to travel across the land fulfilling contracts, while secretly working tow

Thinking outside the 5ft by 5ft box

Dungeons & Dragons  usually cover a very small spectrum of human activity. There are, officially, three 'pillars' of activity - interaction, exploration, and combat. Two of the pillars (exploration and interaction) have fairly minimal rules, but there are exhaustive rules for killing things you don't like, and the vast majority of abilities improve your abilities in a fight. As I talked about last time, there's a place for that, but I don't think it's the be-all and end-all like many adventures would have you believe. I can understand why there's this focus though - fighting has the highest stakes, your character's life, so it's the one that everyone needs to be good at. But then if everyone's good at it, it becomes the preferred option. When you have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. One of our goals for Dragons of Tirenia  is to have a wider range of genres and experiences in our adventures. One of the first ways I'm movi

History and Fantasy

 When designing Tirenia, I knew I wanted it to have a different feel to your standard fantasy RPG campaign. In many of them, all characters are exceptional, magical beings. This is a wonderful, empowering thing, and something that I wanted to keep. What I wanted to change was how magical the world around them was. If magic is commonplace, commodified, and readily accessible, is magic really magical? Citizens of a standard D&D world might not be surprised to see a monster in a zoo or circus, while historically Florence went crazy when they got a giraffe! There's famous essays out there which you can search up about how even Gandalf, one of the greatest wizards in fantasy fiction, only needs to be about 5 th level, and he's regarded with awe by everyone around him. It's the intention of Tirenia to be more strongly inspired by history than a typical game, with magic that's rarer but more powerful when it shows up. Keeping the game at low levels lets the players feel
