Dragon of Stormwreck Isle is a largely traditional and straight forward D&D adventure. It's simple in its structure but heavily enriched by the lore presented in the text. Expose the characters to this lore as they talk to NPCs and explore the island. The histories of Bahamut and Tiamat, even the epic poem in the beginning of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, can tell the characters more about the lore of dragons.
The plot is centered around the titular dragons, the first is a powerful dragon NPC that acts as a benevolent quest giver, and the second is a long dead evil dragon whose grave is slowly corrupting the island. Two more opposed young dragons pop up at the end, one allied with your quest giver that can aid the players in their final fight, and one villain trying to perform an evil draconic ritual.
The island was mountainous.[5] It was a beacon to dragons, and had become suffused with the magic of countless dragons who had died there. It was said that this had left a spiritual wound across the island that could cause unpredictable magical phenomena.[1]
The island was formed in ancient times by volcanic activity that was caused when the mighty red dragon Sharruth was entombed on the sea floor by a group of three metallic dragons: the bronze dragon Astalagan, the gold dragon Clyssavar, and the brass dragon Turadaer.[1][18] Ever since, the island was a beacon to dragons, and thus hosted many battles in the never-ending struggle between metallic and chromatic dragons. This, in turn, caused the island to become suffused with the magic of the slain dragons.[1] At some point, a group of scholars built the Clifftop Observatory to study and harness these ambient magics.[8][19]
The newest D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle (DoSI hereafter) is out, and much like previous versions, it contains the basics needed to get 4-5 adventurers out the door and down the beach to adventures unknown. In the box is a 48-page adventure with a small bestiary in the back, a 32-page rulebook for anyone completely new to tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), 5 pre-generated character sheets, and 6 dice for either everyone to fight over or that one player who always forgets to bring theirs. So, is it all that and a bag of dragons? Read on for the review!
In the adventure, the players might run into or fight zombies, kobolds, dragons, harpies, owlbears, and other creatures. Players will have to use either their social skills or combat skills to resolve most encounters, and depending on their class and abilities, they may have to use weapons, spells, or other fighting means to defeat or evade their enemies.
Though fine details concerning the adventure's quests have yet to be released, it has been stated that the experience will revolve around an ancient war among dragons. Looking more closely at the lore of D&D, it's more likely than not that the war being referred to here is the battle between the draconic forces of good and evil, otherwise known as the metallic and chromatic dragons respectively.
One of the pictures from the book shown on the set's image gallery does feature a blue dragon breathing lightning towards a bronze dragon as well, so there's a fair amount of evidence to support this theory. Many players have questioned the surprising absence of dragons in the D&D published adventures. It's nice to see Wizards of the Coast addressing this concern in the new starter set. After all, the game is called Dungeons & Dragons.
Besides the ancient war among dragons, the starter set page also mentions that adventurers will be exploring the secrets of Stormwreck Isle. A cursory search of D&D lore has failed to turn up any information on this so-called Stormwreck Isle, however, we can still infer a number of things from the location's name.
Anyone tackling the new Starter Set yet? Looks like a fun beginning adventure that is begging for the syrinscape treatment. I am gonna start playing with the custom sound set features but any suggestions would be great. An island with kobolds, zombies, sea caves, ship wrecks, dragons and more.
Lost Mines of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak, the two previous introductory adventures, use their dragons more poorly than they should. With little buildup and for the draconic encounters, these adventures use dragons as a combat encounter without much social consequence. Young white dragons, as in Icespire Peak, are bestial creatures with little to no capacity for human interaction.
This is the least consequential way that dragons can be used in the game. A green dragon, such as the one used in Lost Mines, should be a devious foe. The chromatic dragons in Dragons of Stormwreck Isle are intelligent and dangerous, more like what dragons should be.
Many dragons in D&D adventures are simple enemies for the party to overcome. Yet the game includes some of the most powerful and iconically good dragons in all of fantasy fiction. These dragons, the Metallic Dragons, are just as important a part of the D&D world, if not always as prominent.
With a wide variety of dragons and dragon-related monsters in Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, this is one of the more dragon- and roleplaying-centric intro modules ever produced for D&D. With so many intelligent opponents, it creates more incentives for both the DM and players to pursue non-lethal solutions to problems.
The story is centered around Stormwreck Isle, a battleground for the two different types of dragons - metallic and chromatic. The island itself is flowing with magic from an old dragon buried there, and the players find themselves dragged into a conflict between a bronze adult dragon and a blue dragon wyrmling.
The Dungeons & Dragons (R) Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle (TM) is your gateway to action-packed adventures in the cooperative storytelling game Dungeons & Dragons, where heroes battle monsters, find treasure, and undertake epic quests. This box contains the essential rules of the game plus everything you need to play heroic characters caught up in an ancient war among dragons as they explore the secrets of Stormwreck Isle.
