About the adventure
An Eberron reimagining of Dungeons of Drakkenheim, set in the arcane-scarred heart of Cyre. 🕯️ Five years ago, Cyre died. In a single, unspeakable moment, the Day of Mourning wiped a nation from the map. Now, in 998 YK, the ruined capital of Metrol festers beneath a veil of mist that warps magic, clouds memory, and refuses to let the dead rest. Teleportation fails. Divinations falter. The fog is thick, and the city... is alive. ⚔️ Factions wage a silent war beneath the shroud: 🛡️ Cyran veterans seeking redemption. 🔥 Silver Flame zealots hunting corruption. ⚙️ Cannith agents chasing lost war machines. ☠️ A twisted cult that worships the Mourning itself. ☠️ The mist does not forgive. Explore haunted ruins, forge uneasy alliances, survive mutations and madness, and unravel the truth behind the Mourning. But beware—the city remembers, and it has plans for those who enter. 📜 Level 1-13+ | Foundry VTT | Grimdark Eberron | Faction Intrigue | Mutation & Madness Themes | XP Campaign 🌫️ The fog is thick. The city calls. Will you answer?

About me
I'm starting here at Start playing to broaden my experience. I have hosted games for my friends and family and want to host a higher amount of games with a plethora of characters. I try to work with my players in character creation, helping new players, homebrew, and improvising. If you have a reasonable homebrew, I'll usually allow it unless it doesn't make sense thematically.

Creating your character
- You will fill out a form and send it to me in discord. (Dndbeyond character link is not accepted, I am boycotting them). - Multiclassing and feats are accepted. - Variant human (Free Feat) is banned. (Alt. V. Human (Free Half Feat) in Discord - Current level is level 6. - Ability scores are selected with standard array +1 or point buy 28. (Explanation in Discord) - Tasha's Origin Customization is allowed (assign your racial ability score increases however you like) Use starting items from your class. Each player has 12 points to use towards what magic items or additional starting gold it wants for their character. The points work as follows. - 1 point for a common magic item or 500 gold. - 3 points for an uncommon magic item. (Armor allows you to get an uncommon version of your starting armor or armor you buy with gold.) - 6 points for a rare magic item. *Reminder, Potions of Healing are 50 gp, Potions of Greater Healing are 250 gp*

What to expect
Preparing for the session

What Alejandro Vaca brings to the table
I bring to the (virtual) table: - a majority of WOTC Sourcebooks - Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting - Caliya's Chronicle of Runes - Laserllama's homebrew, - custom maps - custom tokens. I provide players access to these resources on request. Everything I have you are allowed to use! I utilize a range of voices and I use ambient music. I encourage tactical combat! I try to stick to Rule of Cool, but might make exceptions.
Homebrew rules

Session inspiration refills at the beginning of each session and does not roll over. - Drinking a potion as a bonus action - Modified Crits: Nat 20, 10 or above enemy AC - Variant Checks only if they make sense: Str (Performance), Int (Persuasion), Str (Stealth) - Initiative Rerolls: A bot will reroll initiative at the end of each round - Helping Requirement: must have a 3+ bonus to skill in order to help. - Delirium as currency Extra Systems: Crafting, Harvesting, Monster Trait Research
