About the adventure
In our one-shot adventure "Drowned," you'll be looking for vital pieces from a lost settlement to put a stop to preachers from below flooding heavens with salt water and brine. Ready to explore something different? Heart: The City Beneath is a system that turns dungeon crawling on its head. Instead of treasure-hunting heroes, you'll play desperate, obsessed "delvers" - broken people drawn into a surreal nightmare realm in pursuit of impossible desires. Join us for a narrative first fever dream! Content note: This game explores themes of obsession, transformation, and personal sacrifice in a surreal horror setting.

About me
I'm passionate about collaborative storytelling where player choices shape the world and dice create unforgettable moments. Every campaign becomes a unique story that emerges from the intersection of player creativity, world-building, and those thrilling moments when fate takes the wheel.

Nodra is a GM that allows you to play a character to their fullest extent. He gives you personalized mini side-quests, objectives, items, connections with NPCs that make sense in the world you play in. He personalizes the world to the characters that play in them to great detail. Overall, incredibly good GM to have!

Started with an Alien one-shot, and ended up in a Kingmaker campaign, having a blast. Engaging storytelling while creating a good atmosphere and giving the players the opportunity to shine in creative ways.

How Nodra creates a safe table
✔ Lines and Veils are key; we strictly follow them, combined with X, N, O cards for moments we may be pushing your boundaries. ✔ Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the troubles of our daily lives. Members of the party are expected to work as a team while being open and respectful to all. Real-world prejudices, such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, are NOT acceptable and will lead to your removal.
