As its name would suggest, Xana's "Tyranny of Dragons" Mod is a modified Tyranny of Dragons campaign for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition DM'ed by Kingxana 0.
As with the source material, our story begins with the main party meeting in the town of Greenest, which is soon promptly attacked by the Cult of the Dragon, a religious movement that hopes to bring about the return of Tiamat along with the end of the world. It is up to this group of six to help bring them down once and for all, and perhaps learn what living truly means in the face of possible death.

This campaign contains the following tropes:
- Crazy Enough to Work: While negotiating with a roper in exchange for the dragon eggs he's guarding and planning to eat, Rhea offers to teach him how to waltz. The roper accepts the offer as Rhea and Rosz serves as his dance partners. Keep in mind that ropers don't even have any legs.
- Fake Relationship: When the party splits up to infiltrate the camp that's keeping the blue dragon's eggs captive, Setsuna has a run-in with her stepfather, the chieftain of their clan. To allay suspicion, Rhea poses as Setsuna's wife, with Alexander as their pet. Somehow, it works.

- Race: Protector AasimarClass: Paladin (Oath of Redemption)
- Angelic Beauty: Rhea is an aasimar, a race of humanoids affiliated with the celestial. She is the most canonically attractive and charismatic member of the party.
- Animal Lover / Friend to All Living Things: Rhea seems to be making a habit of accumulating pets, starting by calming a hostile rat swarm and adopting one of the rats—in the first battle of the campaign.
- The Ditherer: Primarily of the "Insecure" variety; she can make decisions in the heat of the moment, but will inevitably doubt herself in the aftermath and constantly seeks reassurance from anybody nearby that she considers a moral authority.
- Girly Bruiser: Openly enjoys makeup, loves animals, and maintains a very feminine appearance. Also bashes the bad guys with a warhammer.
- Money Dumb: Rhea is awful at saving money, mainly because she keeps giving it away.
- Not Used to Freedom: As the penniless ward of a noble family, she spent her adolescence adhering to rigid standards for appearance, behavior, and communication, and having most of her decisions made for her. Now that the family is gone she doesn't trust herself to make the right choices, and as a result she is constantly seeking a new authority figure.
- Reluctant Warrior: Rhea worships a goddess of peace, and tries to avoid fighting whenever possible. She refuses to land killing blows, and has been known to leave behind wound care instructions on the bodies of incapacitated foes.

- Braids of Action: Wear her hair in one long plait that reaches her lower back.
- Charm Person: Being an Arcane Trickster, she has the Trope Namer in her spell list.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The Foolish Sibling to her older brother Erwan's Responsible Sibling. She's a reckless hedonist who frequently finds herself in trouble while Erwan is the family's "golden child" who would often bail her out.
- Has a Type: While she "ain't too scrupulous" when it comes to the gender of her potential partners, she's typically more attracted to "taller folk."
- Magical Eye: Rosz was initially the only party member who didn't have darkvision until she was granted Truesight by a Roper as thanks for helping him learn the waltz. Now not only can she see in both mundane and magical darkness, but she's now immune to illusions, can see invisible creatures, and can even look into the ethereal planes!
- The Sneaky Guy: Being the party's rogue, Rosz's training and shorter stature give her excellent stealth.
- Southern Belle: Rosz is the daughter of Waterdeep jewelry-makers and is played with a sugary Southern drawl to evoke this trope.
