About the adventure

DRAKKENHEIM IS NO MORE. 🤔This game is intended for those who want to learn to play Dungeons & Dragons 5e or are new the tabletop role-playing hobby as a whole. You must be 18 or older, and should be a fan of the spooky, macabre, squicky, and/or eldritch things. 🌆This game is about exploring corrupted city ruins, tangling with its mutated denizens, seeking valuable delirium and other treasure, trying to make alliances, avoiding making enemies, and attempting to achieve your very personal goal without getting contaminated. ❤️‍🩹I publicly roll dice out in the open for the sake of fairness and tension. I value the momentum of the game, carrying on, and moving forward more than pedantic precision. I like to roleplay in character with special voices when I can. I use pictures of non-player characters when they are available. I use regional and battle maps to better visualize positioning for exploration and combat. I like to give player-characters the freedom to exercise their autonomy and agency. ❗Dark Fantasy Themes and Content Warning • Violence, murder, blood, gore, cannibalism, body horror, degenerative mutations, physical disfigurement, madness, insanity, rats, spiders, insects, demons, undead, ghosts, natural disasters, mass death, civil war, displaced persons, refugees, moral ambiguity, social manipulation, political manipulation, religious zealotry, military nationalism;

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

How will character creation work

🤝 The players will JOINTLY create characters TOGETHER, as a GROUP. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 📊 Abilities Scores allocated by Elite Array. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ⚙️ Any D&D 5e 2024 options. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 📜 Most Drakkenheim specific character options (There are a few exeptions) ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 🪄 Only mageblooded may become arcane spellcasters. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 👑 May not be a noble and an arcane spellcaster. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𓋹 There is one dominant religion on the continent. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 😶 The Gods are silent and distant. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 🗞️ I reserve the right to deny broken character options, at character creation or at any point in the future when its true cankerous nature is revealed.
