About the adventure
[Recruiting now. New players will be woven into the story with care so you feel like you’ve been part of Drakkenheim all along.] Fifteen years ago, a star fell from the sky. It struck Drakkenheim like a blade and tore the capital apart. The city was swallowed by ash, mist, and something worse. • Explore what remains: shattered cathedrals, twisted manors, and streets crawling with nightmares • Delerium crystals hum in the ruins, and everyone wants a piece • The mist is alive. It hides the dead. It changes the living • Factions claw for power. Fanatics, soldiers, scavengers, and worse. Trust is rare Drakkenheim is cursed. And it does not let go. [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] -------------------------- 📣See what Colleen has to say about my GM'ing: ⭐"Leland is absolutely amazing for first time players, and does a wonderful job at explaining how to play and is incredibly patient. It's a very comfortable atmosphere to be in and if you have triggers of any sorts Leland is very good at making sure you know that at any point you can voice your discomforts and there is absolutely no judgement. I highly recommend playing with Leland. It's a lot of fun, both in game and the community in general."

About me
Hey everyone, it's me, Leland, aka Leopold the Just in most social media spaces! I’ve been deeply invested in tabletop RPGs since the start of the millennium, & I still love every second of every game I run or play. Aside from that, some of my other interests include going to music events, board gaming, playing strategy & RPG video games, camping, traveling, eating delicious food, learning more about science & art, getting tattoos, going to aquariums & museums, & much, much more. As a GM, my storytelling focus is on strange events, haunted & horrific places, emotional buy-in & consequences during roleplay, & NPCs you won’t forget. I run everything from cozy slice-of-life games to bleak horror, sometimes both in the same session. If you love group storytelling & want to play in an immersive world that feels alive, then I’m the right GM for you. --- What to expect at my table & in my community: • Sessions with a strong narrative focus on character development • Action-packed, descriptive combat that keeps you on the edge of your seat • A living world where NPCs react & evolve based on your choices • Shared storytelling that includes everyone, with collaborative worldbuilding that lets you leave your mark • A chill, inclusive space where everyone is welcome & every identity is valued • Exclusive $5 community one-shots for active members, bringing players from across tables together for fresh stories & shared adventures • Regular community events: video/board game nights, video watch-parties, & a live Kenku FM radio station for downtime between sessions So go ahead & pull up a virtual seat. Let’s tell some stories together!

How Leland House Jr. creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
