Dragon Storm Tabletop Role-Playing Game.

The characters in Dragon Storm are the mortal descendents of the Ancient Dragons. You may well wonder what happened to the civilization of the Ancient Dragon Clans. It is gone. Some 200 years ago their was a rebellion by the Necromancers, backed by a mysterious off world race called the Pylos. They wiped out almost all of the Ancients in a surprise attack called the Deathday Massacre. The Necros drained the magic from the Ancient Dragons, and almost overnight they became the rulers of Grandilar. The Necros realized they could steal power from each other and fell to fighting among themselves. For the last 200 years the Necromancers have fought each other amidst the wild warped magic storms Deathday created, and they hunted mortal shifters to drain their magics. Civilization is gone, almost lost to memory.

A few mortal shifters and Ancient Dragons forsaw the downfall of the Ancient Dragons. The first known was a Werewolf Shaman by the name of Valaria. When her warnings went nowhere she created a secret organization called the Valarians. Their job would be to organize the remnants of the fall of civilization and give them a chance to fight back. After Deathday the Valarians performed the Ritual of Rising that strengthened the Dragon's Blood in many mortals. These mortals, at about the age of 16, become shape shifters.

The Valarians are an organization of Mortal Shape Shifters (Characters) and mortals who are fighting to take back the world to make it a place everyone, except the Necros, can live in. The Valarians are slowly succeeding, but much more needs to be done. The Valarians have now performed a second Ritual called the Great Change. This new Ritual combined, with the remaining traces of the first Ritual, make shifters more powerful, and thus came Dragon Storm 2.0.

The mortal shape shifters are not just Dragons. The shape shifting blood of the Ancient Dragons can create mortal Dragons, Werewolves, Unicorns, Gargoyles, Pegasii, Werecats, Wererats, Griffons, and Pheonixes. In the fullness of time each of the shifter races will be available for characters.

Gamemaster will be created their adventures and cast from the cards available to the GM and may use all of the Player cards as well. When the characters need a Mentor to get training, that is the GM's character. When the characters fight the evil Necro, that is a GM character. Players will need to be kind to their GM to get what they want for their characters.

Dragon Storm is designed to replicate a chaotic world, a world where the rules of nature are broken daily. To be able to do that the GM is given a special rule called "3.4". It means the GM should bend every card and rule to create a Chaotic world. The characters should never be certain of how anything works.

On the Player side of the equation they have the ability to stretch the powers, spells and abilities represented by the cards. They are encouraged to try to find new and creative ways of using their abilities. If the GM likes it, they will approve it. The one thing all DS players try to avoid is arguing with a GM. The GM is always right, so why waste your time?
