About the adventure
First session is FREE! Welcome to 'Shadows of Heaven', a Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition homebrew horror campaign where your character will explore the newly discovered land of Karn and uncover the ancient mysteries and horrors that lurk within its wilderness. This table is a welcoming and inclusive space for all players, regardless of identity, background, or experience level. We're committed to fostering a respectful and fun environment for everyone. This is a truly character-first campaign in which a living world reflects your motivations, hopes, and fears. As your Game Master, I will meticulously tailor every aspect—locations, NPCs, and even unique magical items and monstrous threats—to your character's backstory, ensuring your decisions and history genuinely shape the narrative and its consequences. Expect to collaborate in unforeseen ways, making this truly your story.

What Hayden brings to the table
A Tailored Campaign for Your Hero's Journey This campaign is built around you. Your character's backstory isn't just a paragraph on a sheet; it's the foundation for our entire world. I'll craft locations, NPCs, and unique items that directly tie into your character's past, creating a deeply personal narrative. You'll navigate handcrafted battlemaps brought to life with animations, dynamic lighting, and ambient music, setting the scene for every epic showdown. Get ready for tactical combat featuring unique homebrew monsters and environmental hazards, creating memorable and interesting encounters that go beyond a simple stat block. We'll be using the 2024 Player's Handbook and Monster Manual, so you'll have the latest tools at your disposal—including the newly published horror subclasses—to shape your destiny.
Homebrew rules
I usually keep things pretty by the book to start. If the rules are getting in the way of the fun, we'll come up with something better.
