About the adventure
Drakkenheim is Doomed ☄️ A falling star left the city in ruin 🩸 Madness and monsters roam its streets ⛓️ Factions clash for power in the shadows 📜 Every tale needs a hero 💀 Will you restore Drakkenheim, or be consumed by it? Once, Drakkenheim was a jewel of the realm. Then came the falling star. From its crater spilled horrors, corruption, and a toxic haze that twists all it touches. Now the city is a forbidden ruin. Lost within it are priceless relics, powerful secrets, and the last remnants of a shattered crown. You are one of the bold few daring to enter its haunted streets. But beware: this is no simple dungeon crawl. The ruins are alive with scheming factions, rival adventurers, and things best left unspoken. Every choice will shape the fate of Drakkenheim itself. What to expect: 📜 A story-driven adventure. Your backstory matters Every character has a stake in Drakkenheim. 🗣️ Intense role-play. Navigate a city of fractured loyalties, desperate survivors, and power-hungry leaders. 🗺️ Open-world exploration. The ruins are yours to uncover. Where will you risk your life first? ⚔️ Brutal combat. Monstrosities lurk in the mists, and even the factions themselves may turn on you. ☠️ Cosmic horror. The falling star was not natural… and its corruption spreads still. … and much, much more! Enter the ruins. Confront the chaos. Decide the fate of Drakkenheim. Your choices will shape the city’s future—or seal its doom.

About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!

If a species, class, subclass or spell has a version in both the 2014 & 2024 ruleset, the 2024 version must be selected for play. Starting Level 3. Characters joining later join at the same level as the party.
