Tyranny of Dragons Actual Plays
As I’ve mentioned before, one advantage to playing a pre-packaged rpg campaign is the opportunity it opens up to swap war stories with fellow players who have been through the same meat-grinder. Also mentioned repeatedly has been my group’s adventures, mis- and otherwise, along the Tyranny of Dragons campaign. To expedite the process for the rest of the world, here’s a list of actual plays found through a quick search on the old googlescope. If you know of one that isn’t included here, let me know and I’ll try to add it.
Here’s a whole mess of links to the first session of each campaign, the first session because not all these blogs have indices. If the first one grabs you, you’ll have to poke around these sites to find the rest of the actual plays yourself. Also, a few of these are first session write-ups only. You will be warned where possible.
I’ll include brief notes where possible so you can avoid the frustrated wannabe fiction authors droning on about weather and internal monologues and other such tediums. For the most part, you’re on your own, as I don’t have time to read and critique each and every one of these.
