What Baron brings to the table

Fifteen years ago, a falling star struck the proud capital of Westemär. The city of Drakenheim, once a shining jewel of culture, power, and ambition, was shattered in an instant. The meteor’s impact obliterated the royal line, left the kingdom divided, and unleashed a creeping corruption known only as the Haze. Within this miasma, strange crystalline shards called Delirium pulse with unnatural magic—capable of reshaping reality itself. Some see Delirium as a miracle, others as an abomination, and all are willing to kill for it. The city lies abandoned, its streets twisted by storms and monsters, its ruins stalked by cults, mercenaries, and desperate survivors. Yet, despite the dangers, adventurers are drawn to the doomed city, hoping to uncover its forbidden secrets, amass wealth, or simply carve their names into legend. This is where your story begins. Your characters will awaken on the outskirts of Drakenheim with fractured memories and unanswered questions. You will not know who you truly are, what your mission once was, or why you were drawn to this cursed place. Instead, you will piece together your identities as you explore the ruined city. Fragments of memory, shifting alliances, and strange revelations will guide your path, while the mysteries of your past intertwine with the city’s grim fate. This is not a tale of clear heroes or villains—it is a story of survival, choice, and transformation. Who you become will matter as much as who you once were. in Drakenheim, danger and intrigue lurk around every corner. The Hooded Lanterns fight desperately to restore order. The Queen’s Men profit shamelessly from chaos. The Falling Fire preaches that the meteor was divine and embrace its corruption as holy. The Silver Order seeks to purge the ruins with fire and steel, while the Amethyst Academy sees Delirium as the key to arcane power. These factions are not good or evil; they are flawed, desperate, and determined. You must decide who to trust, who to betray, and whether you will serve their ambitions or forge your own path. Every choice carries weight, and every alliance has a price. Expect more than dungeon crawling. This campaign blends exploration, political intrigue, horror, and survival into a living world where your actions echo across the city. You will explore haunted ruins, confront monstrous horrors, and navigate dangerous negotiations. You will experience the desperation of scavengers, the zeal of cultists, and the cruelty of mercenaries. Most of all, you will shape the fate of Drakenheim while discovering the truth of your forgotten past. As your Dungeon Master, I bring more than rules and dice. You’ll hear unique character voices that bring NPCs to life. You’ll fight battles on detailed maps with striking tokens, and every session will be enriched by atmospheric music and soundscapes. I have crafted hours of fresh content, encounters, and lore to expand beyond the published Drakenheim material, tailored to your characters’ stories

Homebrew rules

Drinking a healing potion as an action restores maximum amount of HP. Drinking it as a bonus action requires you to roll for healing. Rolling a natural 20 will always have amazing success, often beyond what's possible. Rolling a natural 1 will result in catastrophic failure. Often causing you to hit an ally or causing something ridiculous to happen. When two players flank an enemy, we'll always roll with advantage. Rolling a natural 20 on a death saving throw will automatically pop you up with half HP. Rolling a natural 1 will count as two failures. Always take maximum HP when leveling up to avoid unlucky rolls. I only use milestone leveling as it avoids the grind and keeps the story moving forward.
