Greyburn: Whispers in Gaslight | 5e Campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
🔶 Greyburn: Whispers in Gaslight blends classic D&D 5e with steampunk flair in a gritty, semi-modern metropolis where magic meets machinery! 🔶 Navigate gaslit alleys, enchanted firearms, trench coat fashion, and pubs full of secrets and smoke. 🔶 Join or build a rising gang, and decide whether to rule Greyburn’s underworld, or tear it down. 🔶 Designed with beginners in mind, this campaign will ease you into D&D while throwing you into a world of intrigue, danger, and morally grey choices. Greyburn is a story-driven campaign that embraces cinematic roleplay and tactical combat. It’s a setting where goblins wear waistcoats, detectives wield runic revolvers, and no one gets out clean. Whether you’re a newcomer to D&D or a veteran ready to try something new, Greyburn offers a city full of mystery, ambition, and shadows waiting to be claimed. Welcome to Greyburn. Light the lamps and watch your back. ₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚ Here are some of what my players have said about my table! "Kendrick is an experienced DM who is always on the player's side. He cares about his player's backstories and helping them complete their narrative arcs during gameplay. He has a thorough understanding of the rules, but more importantly understands when they need to be bent for the betterment of the table." - Aaron "I've been playing at Kendrick's table for about a year now. He's been great at making NPCs feel real, and creating interesting and complex encounters, whether in combat or roleplay! He's also managed to survive DMing a combat with just about 10 players, and not only survive but managed to make each person's actions still shine individually!" - Adrien "Ken is an amazing dm who really knows how to get players invested in the campaign. The settings and mood is set in a way that makes you feel as though you are actually there yourself. They create different voices and vibes for any NPCs and they are extremely helpful and patient with beginner players such as myself. They helped me understand the moves I could do and helped me remember anything that I may have forgotten. They are an amazing dm and I always look forward to the weekly DnD campaigns." - Gretchen "My first ever GM and he is the absolute best!! Helped me build my first character, was super welcoming and understanding when I first started playing d&d and had no idea what I was doing." - Machaila "Kendrick is one of those DMs who makes sure everyone is heard. Their sessions are always in-depth and allow for constant player engagement while painting a vivid fantasy world that feels alive and reactive. Whether through dynamic NPCs, rich lore, or clever plot twists, Kendrick always ensures the players' choices matter. They're attentive, adaptive, and create a space where every player, no matter their playstyle, feels valued and immersed. Couldn't recommend them more!" - Justin

Kendrick is an amazing DM! They ran the TTRPG club at school and I participated in a few of his West March games over the year. He co-ran the West March finale for the end of the year and it was fantastic! They're very knowledgeable of the rules, inclusive and fun to be at the table with! They're also a fantastic worldbuilder and has created several locations and NPCs for the school's West March. All around a great person and DM!

I've listened to and played a few sessions with Kendrick and I particularly like how enthusiastic and absorbed they get in the game. They know how to set the mood with immersive story telling - descriptive imagery, a colorful cast of NPCs, and an interesting setting. If you are looking for a DM who gives the players freedom to explore the world with plentiful of RP, I think you'll enjoy Kendrick's style of DMing :)
