About the adventure
Set in the nation of Westmar, this story takes place within the shattered city of Drakkenheim. Join me to tell a story of grief, mystery, and possibly redemption as we delve into the Dungeons of Drakkenheim! This campaign follows the official Dungeon Dudes eldritch horror setting, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, with homebrew feats/spells/items. Includes a full suite of D&D beyond sourcebooks and premium VTT experience via Talespire. Join us in a tale of corruption, horror, and mystery! As this campaign has been so much fun to run, I have opened up slots for a fresh party and run-through of the campaign! This is a fully separate campaign, and takes place on Friday and Saturdays at 6pm central time.

Logan is the kind of DM that works closely with you to ingratiate your character(s) into the narrative. He tirelessly works to provide a fully fleshed out and prepared campaign, complete with highly detailed maps and encounters of all kinds. Couple this dedication with a great soundtrack and character voicing and you've got a recipe for fun sessions week after week. Prompt. Communicative. Reliable. Hands down one of if not *the* best DM I've had the pleasure to play with so far on startplaying. Highly recommended, and he's adding more campaigns to his roster. Jump on them while he still has the open slots and free time.
Passionate, committed, and extremely attentive. Logan spends a great deal of time and energy ensuring he brings each session to life. From music to set the mood, to detailed (stunning) maps for all your tactical and strategic needs, to immersive NPCs, he brings it all to the table. He is very knowledgeable about the system, will help customize your character models, backgrounds, and teach you all you need to know (if you need it). He is welcoming and accommodating. But most importantly he is an amazing guy and just fun to play games with. He also doesn't throw his punches. Like there are circumstances where you will have to fight hard to come out on top, but those victories are all the sweeter. Honestly, I don't think I can go back to Roll20 or any of those style systems after using Talespire with Logan, it's just changed the whole premise of online TTRPG's for me. 10/10, will continue to play with Logan for years to come.

How Logan creates a safe table
Players can expect intense combat paired with a careful balance of roleplay. Themes are centered around eldritch horror. You have been advised. Sexual content is a no-go at my table as it only leads to issues, and thus I usually fade to black in those situations. The following is a list of session 0 topics to prepare for: - Character Creation - Table Rules - Starting Level - Backstory (More backstory = more starting equipment) - Race/Class/Subclass Availability - Game Frequency/Schedule
