The current party consists of an Elf Warlock of the Great Old Ones, an Elf(?) Divine Soul Sorcerer, a Tiefling Bard, and a Volpen Illrigger. They are all currently at level 4 and are starting to make some inroads into the different factions. This campaign is written to be character driven. Each character is required to have some objective within Drakkenheim. Making steps towards achieving your objective will be rewarded with options of feats, ability score improvements, or other player requested items/abilities. Your relationship with different factions will help to determine your path, as they offer missions, objectives, and boons for helping them. This is a dark campaign with potential for character mutations, insanity, and mental stress. Please be advised. As such, there will be follow up after each session to make sure everyone is comfortable with moving forward. There is a dedicated Discord server for this game. Review notes are posted for each session detailing the events and actions of the party. Sessions will be audio recorded to construct these detailed notes.

How to prepare
Please have a microphone, headset or headphones, and stable internet access. An account on Roll20 and Discord will be required to play. Information on the factions of Drakkenheim is available on the discord server and in the game on Roll20. A list of perspective goals within the city is also listed to aid in character backstory development. Each faction has various boons and benefits to being in good favor with them. Likewise, there are drawbacks to being in opposition to a given faction, and your actions individually and collectively as a party will determine your reputation with each faction.
What I provide
In this campaign you will enjoy extensive maps, critical handouts, interesting NPCs, and new, challenging creatures. Music and ambient sounds are specially chosen to accompany the session and add to the tone of play.

Gameplay details
Session 0 will cover the table rules, campaign outline and warnings, lines and veils, before getting into character creation and any further questions. X, N, O cards are available during game play to halt the activity so we can rewind and discuss or replay with a change to avoid any sensitive issues. After the game, I am around on the discord server for a debrief and discussion of game play, issues, wishes and stars, and potential direction for the next session. Outside of the game, I make myself available to discuss any issues which you may have and come to a suitable change or compromise to situations which need to be addressed.
