About the adventure
"They say the capital is well and truly lost - even the nobility have withdrawn their forces after all these years!" Sixteen years ago, Drakkenheim was devastated by the meteor. A strange mineral emerged and changed the balance of power across the continent. But you've kept your head down just living. Deep in the jungles unbothered by the conflicts of nobility and clergy, you've kept as safe as anyone can in times like these. Rumors of strange creatures and terrible magic have found their way to your doorstep. What will you do? - Discover what lurks in the jungles - Reunify the Elves - Stave off spies and provocateurs - Use your wits, magic, and panache to remain incognito ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This is a character-driven romp across the Continent in which Drakkenheim is set, but don't fret about knowing the lore! This is meant to be a story that everyone has a hand in far beyond the ruined city of the original actual play. -> Personal Quests with powerful rewards -> Explore the World of Drakkenheim -> Flavorful setting-specific subclasses -> All current DoD content + Dungeon Dudes exclusive content -> Setting expertise - 500+ sessions in Drakkenheim alone! Cinematic trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wnGvCvIkq8 PLEASE NOTE: My community is committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion. If you support transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, ableism, or any other form of bigotry or fascism, you probably won’t be comfortable at my table. You’ll need to look for another game.

How shevek1312 creates a safe table
💅 Table Culture 💅 The community we've cultivated over the past several years has found themselves nestled in with fiction-forward, collaborative, RAWish style games. A risky choice with a friend for the things there aren't always rules for always feels like it leads to unexpected greatness. We often find ourselves using the good bones of a module while still having space to flex into unique stories. I'm just here to play as the world while you all connect the dots of your stories. Content + Safety Utilizing safety tools helps cultivate a positive and inclusive gaming space. Helping our partymates be awesome dovetails nicely here. We will utilize a checklist based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit, the X, N, O cards built into Foundry's interface, open door policy, and stars + wishes. Non-featured content: harm to children or domestic creatures, explicit sexuality, sexual assault, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Allegories of racial prejudice + bioessentialism have been cut from official settings. ✋Zero tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination based on race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation, or experience level. Please don't attend sessions under the influence of any substance to a noticeable degree. GM reserves the right to remove you from session if this becomes the case. GM reserves the right to remove a player immediately if violating any of these ground rules. 📏I run primarily Rules as Written (RAW), but I'm happy to ask 'what serves the story in this moment?'
