About the adventure
The haze never cleared. And now, it’s moving again. Drakkenheim was once a jewel of the realm—now it’s a cursed ruin, choked in shimmering fog and fallen starlight. Those who enter don’t always return, and those who do are never quite right. Mutants walk the streets. Ghosts remember your name. And somewhere beneath the rubble, something waits to be born. This is a city with no future—only the remnants of one terrible past. And you are walking straight into it. If you're looking for... ☄️ Eldritch Horror and Urban Decay Enter a city warped by a fallen star, where corrupted science and arcane madness spill from every tower and sewer grate. 🎭 Gritty Roleplay and Desperate Factions Navigate a war between broken faiths, ruthless mercenaries, haunted survivors, and secret cults—all fighting for control of what’s left. 🧬 Body Horror and Mutating Consequences Face monsters birthed by magic gone wrong—and risk becoming one yourself. In Drakkenheim, even the air can change you. 🏚️ A Sandbox of Ruin and Revelation Choose your path through collapsing cathedrals, plague-choked alleys, and forbidden labs. The deeper you go, the more you learn. And the less human you’ll stay. 🕳️ A Doorway to Something Far Worse Not all the horrors are bound to this world. As the fog deepens and the stars shift, the veil between realities begins to fray. What lies beyond Drakkenheim may make even this city seem merciful by comparison...

Creating your character
📘 2024 Ruleset We’ll be using the updated 2024 D&D rules for a fresh and balanced experience. If a subclass, spell, or race doesn’t have a 2024 version yet, feel free to use the 2014 one instead. 🎲 Stat Generation You’ll roll two stat arrays using the !randchar command twice on our Discord server. If luck isn’t on your side, Point Buy is available as a safety net.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will be required to have microphones, Roll20 accounts, and Discord to participate. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character prior to session. Here is the invite link, if it doesn't work just message me on this site and I'll get you in. Discord: https://discord.gg/D2ahTnSV3u
What DM McLoyf brings to the table
What You Can Expect 🎲 Full access to every official D&D 5E book 🎨 Custom character and NPC art to bring the story to life 🎵 Hand-curated music to set the mood and elevate every scene 🗺️ High-quality battlemaps for immersive exploration and combat 🃏 Character cards styled after Critical Role for visual flair and clarity My GM Style I run a fair, immersive game where rules matter—but the story always comes first. Expect a rules-as-written foundation with flexibility for cinematic moments and creative problem-solving. Combat is fast-paced, strategic, and meaningful—your choices matter, and your spotlight time is respected. Whether you're a veteran player or brand new to the game, I’m here to guide, entertain, and collaborate with you every step of the way.
Homebrew rules
🗡️ The Mortal Choice System Death isn't the end—at least not right away. When a character is about to die, they’re granted a selection of final choices to choose from, offering a heroic sendoff or dramatic twist that honors their journey. 🎵 Bard Buffs Bards get a little extra love: they retain Song of Rest from 2014.

How DM McLoyf creates a safe table
🫱 Post-Session Check-Ins After each session, I’ll check in—especially after major moments or emotional beats. It’s a simple way to stay connected and make sure everyone feels heard, supported, and excited for what’s next. ⏸️ Breaks & Refunds Sessions include short 5–10 minute breaks in the middle. If something unexpected forces a major delay or cancellation on my part (say, spontaneous food poisoning), I’ll issue a refund. Your time and experience matter.
