About the adventure
👋🏼If you're the type of person who would rather speak to me personally about the game to see if it is for you, you can send me a message about it on discord, my handle is webb.aidan Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wnGvCvIkq8 ☄️DRAKKENHEIM IS NO MORE. An eldritch storm of falling stars devastated the city on that woeful eve, leaving behind a meteorite that would have lasting effects. Fifteen years later, Drakkenheim is a dismal urban wasteland contaminated by otherworldly magic and haunted by hideous monsters. Fantastic wealth, lost knowledge, and powerful artifacts lie ready for the taking by adventurers brave or foolish enough to venture into the ruins. However, even those who survive the dangers of Drakkenheim may not return unmarked by its terrors! This level 1-13 game allows players to explore, interact and battle for the fate of a city terrorised and destroyed by eldritch forces. Players must fight, explore and survive the dungeons of Drakkenheim to find out the truth behind the disaster that rendered this city asunder, and decide the fate of Drakkenheim itself. 🧭EXPLORATION. Characters embark on dangerous expeditions into monster-filled ruins, haunted streets, decrepit gardens, shattered mage towers, baroque cathedrals, and ancient castles to plunder treasure and solve mysteries. 👉INTERACTION. Five rival factions clash over the ruins of Drakkenheim. A tangled web of secrets, subterfuge, and sabotage awaits when the factions’ opposing objectives and your characters’ personal goals come into conflict! ⚔️COMBAT. Beyond fierce warriors dispatched by the factions, all manner of otherworldly horrors inhabit Drakkenheim. Characters battle undead husks, predatory beasts, mutated monstrosities, and terrifying abominations produced by the mysterious meteor. 🧙♂️Character Driven: I tailor my games to revolve around the main PCs, so I work with you on how best to make your characters shine I like to have very 'in character' roleplay, meaning I get into character for the various NPCs, Characters and Monsters you might face in the campaign. ❤️🔥I run a very High Quality FoundryVTT game, meaning: -Foundry's automations used to their full effect to make for an easier, streamlined player experience -Animations and Sound effects- all attacks, spells and features have visual effects and sound effects, which can be customised to fit your character's flavour -Dynamic soundtrack that changes based on the location and scenario. -Immersive Crafting and monster part Harvesting systems -High Quality 3rd party sourcebooks used to introduce new gothic and eldritch subclasses, monsters, spells and more! -Every map is custom made by the DM to fit the scenario. ❌PvP ❌Disruptive alignments/backstories

About me
Hey all! I'm a GM that mostly plays dnd5e and spinoffs of 5e! I tend to run immersive and streamlined games through FoundryVTT, with pretty custom maps, animations and dynamic soundtrack to immerse all my players into my games and cut through to get straight to the fun of TTRPGs I like roleplay, but can also get behind some good combat, so if you're looking for a story-first game, where roleplay is massively encouraged, with a good supplement of combat and danger, you'll like my games. I run things informed by Rules as Written, but not shackled to them, under the right circumstances, will give way to rule of cool. I try to foster an environment where my players know that they can talk to me if they have any concerns. While the game may be serious, I try my best not to be and to make sure my players know I'm always open for a conversation about their characters and the story.

Creating your character
Characters will be starting at level 1 at the beginning of the campaign- as the other players progress, any new players joining will arrive at the same level as them. You can use any character creation tool you want to use, whether it be DnD Beyond or just a plain old character sheet! I'll reach out to you before the game to provide you with extra character creation choices to fit the Dark Fantasy/Eldritch Horror theme of the game, though of course- most official content is allowed. -2014 Character Creation Rules, once the VTT implementation of the 2024 rules is stable, we can switch to those rules if players prefer -Level 1 -Standard array or Point Buy- Not Rolled -No flying races or Eberron 'Mark' subraces -Starting Equipment -Silvery Barbs is unavailable at level 1
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: -a relatively decent PC- It doesn't need to be anything special, I've had players play on laptops from the mid 2010s with no issues at all. -a clear microphone. -Discord Account You will need to create a character beforehand if you are joining after session 0, but I will try to reach out before the game to assist with the process.
What Aidan brings to the table
I bring a high quality VTT with great automation tools to make playing fun, immersive and streamlined to get straight to the fun! With this Foundry game, I have a dynamic soundtrack, that shifts the music playing based on the scenarios, to give an extra level of immersion. Animations for all your spells and abilities! Watch the firebolt crackle through the air and hear the monsters roar. You are able to set up and customise a set of dice that you can use in the game! I bring excellent in roleplay conversational skills, as well as a voice changer to emulate all the potentially strange voices you may encounter that my vocal range can't simulate, to ensure you're all fully immersed. I also bring a selection of curated, high quality 3rd party supplements that I give to my players for the purposes of character creation. I have access to Midjourney for the purposes of generating AI images to represent the characters. Furthermore, players who play 10 sessions of DUNGEONS OF DRAKKENHEIM will receive a fully illustrated character, specially commissioned from a high quality artist, to give you all something to remember the campaign by!

How Aidan creates a safe table
Session 0 is always free. Every time a new player joins, I will try to chat with them before the game to make sure their character is ready, and to brief them on what to expect, poll them on lines/veils and get them to fill out a questionnaire on what they are/aren't comfortable with.
