Dungeons of Drakkenheim | Cosmic Horror | Beginner & LGBT+ Friendly
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
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! ❗Game Information: Setting: Drakkenheim Sourcebooks: All Game Duration: 3 - 3.5 hours Levels: 2-13 Character Creation: Fixed stat array + feat at level 1 New players are more than welcome! -------------------------- In this game, you will find: ✅ Animated 3D Maps custom made by myself for this campaign. ✅ Video recording handouts of each map, showing them in great detail from the character's perspective. ✅ An unique plot crafted just for you and the other players, with the directions given by you during session 0. ✅ Several unique mechanics designed to make D&D 5E a more complete game and cover areas such as potion making, item crafting etc. ✅ Guides and video playlists curated to help you learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons 5E. ✅ Fully fleshed-out NPCs with different accents, wants and needs. ✅ A world tailored to you and the players, where you backstories and choices matter. ✅ Background music and sound effects. ✅ 25% off of a portrait of your character drawn by a partner artist. ✅ Homebrew character creation options made by me to bring novelty to the game. ✅ A supportive and engaged DM who will give you suport 24/7 on all days of the week.
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.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
