The Rise of Tiamat is an adventure module for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
Plot summary
The Rise of Tiamat, along with the previous adventure, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, pits players against Tiamat.[1]
Publication history
The Rise of Tiamat was released on October 21, 2014 as the second adventure (after Hoard of the Dragon Queen) released as part of the fantasy storyline called "Tyranny of Dragons", which launched alongside the new edition and is told through game supplements, video games, and other outlets.[1] The adventure was created by Kobold Press under commission from Wizards of the Coast.[2][3][4]
Reception
Scott Wachter of RPGamer wrote that the adventure "on the page is shallow, generic, excessively linear and overall uninspired. The attempt to revive the classic-feel of D&D, complete with multi-part adventures is noble, but maybe they should have tried to emulate one of the good ones."[5]
