ARKHANLOFT: A Free One-Week TEXT GAME Set in "Batman Ravenloft"
Dungeons & Dragons 2e, Homebrew Game | Campaign
About the adventure
🦇 Welcome to Arkhanloft The Shadows Have Names... and They're Wearing Masks. You awaken in a place wrapped in fog and fear, where twisted laughter echoes down cobblestone alleys, and the moon never quite looks right. This is not Gotham. And it sure as hell isn’t Barovia. This is Arkhanloft—a cursed realm where nightmare and noir collide. Where each dark domain is ruled by a villain plucked from Gotham’s most deranged halls, reborn as a Lord of Dread. The Joker’s realm is a carnival of chaos, every laugh a razorblade. Two-Face rules with brutal coin-toss justice from a court of ash and ruin. Poison Ivy’s domain grows wild and choking, vines whispering in the dark. And somewhere, deep in the fog, the Bat watches… or perhaps he’s already become one of them. You are no hero—not here. You are prey, pawn, or potential. But maybe… just maybe… you’re something more. 🕯️ Welcome to Arkhanloft. Choose your path, face the Lords, or become one yourself. The mists are waiting.
