Uncover the secrets of Delerium in the land of Drakkenheim!

Uncover the secrets of Delerium in the land of Drakkenheim!

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Drakkenheim is no more! On a fateful night 15 years ago great meteors fell from the sky. The one that hit the capital city has had wide reaching effects. Monstrosities that were once the inhabitants of that great city roam the streets looking to kill! Whatever your personal goals; fame, fortune, knowledge, or power, you can find them all in Westemar! If this sounds as fun to you as it does to me, join me in exploring this rich world. Visit the ruined gothic renaissance city of Drakkenheim. Explore the monster filled, haunted streets of this once beautiful capital of Westemar and beyond! Untangle the web of secrets, sabotage, and subterfuge of the rival factions and meet your personal goals. Battle the undead, the monstrosities, and the abominations of the flesh created by the meteoric chaos!

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare

You will need a decent microphone and a discord account. A webcam is optional.

What I provide

There will be plenty of tools at your disposal. Character creation will be done through D&D Beyond. Safety tools, maps, and music will be found in Foundry VTT, and there will be dedicated Discord channels for roleplay, chat, and feedback. I bring a decent number of character voices and lots of ambient music and homebrew materials. There will be quality, professionally made maps and tokens available. I try to stick to RAI (Rules As Intended) as much as possible, though it will be trumped by the Rule of Cool from time to time.

Gameplay details

I will be reviewing safety tools, Introduction to Drakkenheim, The World of Drakkenheim, and character creation at session 0. Communication and respect are foremost qualities to bring to the table, thereby fostering an atmosphere of comfort during our collaborative storytelling experience. There will be plenty of tools at your disposal. Character creation through D&D Beyond, maps and music in Foundry VTT, and dedicated discord channels for roleplay, chat, and feedback will all be available. Prepare for an adventure that will chill you to the bone! Dungeons of Drakkenheim is heavily focused on roleplay. Solving the secrets of the city and it's factions will take the main portion of your character's time. Player choices heavily influence the Gameworld, and the character's backgrounds and goals will be dynamically integrated into the unfolding story. There will, however, be plenty of exploration and enough combat to satisfy those more savage instincts. So, come join us as we explore the mystery, monstrosities, and mayhem of the city that was once Drakkenheim!
