Dungeons of Drakkenheim (2024R) 🌈♾️🦋

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

"We will see each other again when the time is right." Fifteen years ago, Drakkenheim was devastated by the meteor. The royal family is presumed dead, and the resulting civil war has shifted the balance of power across the continent. Opportunities abound, as the faithful, disillusioned, and rebellious all conspire to reshape the city in their vision. The meteor changed everything, will you let this new world choose for you? -> Personal Quests with powerful rewards -> Ruins teeming with friends and foes -> Research the corrupting influence of the Haze -> Flavorful setting-specific subclasses -> Build alliances with powerful factions -> All current DoD content + Monsters of Drakkenheim -> Lightweight crafting system -> Setting expertise - 300+ sessions in Drakkenheim alone! Cinematic trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wnGvCvIkq8 PLEASE NOTE: My community is committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. If you support transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of bigotry or fascism, you probably won’t be comfortable at my table. You’ll need to look for another game.

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Gameplay details

💅 Table Culture 💅 The community we've cultivated over several years has drifted away from 'XD so random' characters, meta-, and powergaming. If these are things you need to ensure your personal play experience, this may not be the right listing for you. PVPers (combat or pickpocketing), lone wolves, and low-agency + strict alignment mentalities need not apply. We welcome folks that are interested in making risky choices for the things there aren't always rules for. A key to avoiding problems at the table starts with showing up with an open mind and willing attitude. We often find ourselves using the good bones of a module while still having space to improvise. Flexibility and novelty go hand in hand, and I love to craft uniquely focused stories. Above all I emphasize fiction first roleplaying that incorporates player collaboration - I'm just here to play as the world while you all connect the dots of your stories. Content + Safety Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Helping our partymates be awesome dovetails nicely here. We will utilize a checklist based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit, the X, N, O cards built into Foundry's interface, open door policy, and stars + wishes. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from the official setting. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or experience level. Please don't attend sessions under the influence of any substance to a noticeable degree. GM reserves the right to remove you from session if this becomes the case. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of these ground rules. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to ask 'what serves the story in this moment?' in key moments.
