About the adventure
Fifteen years ago, Drakkenheim was destroyed by an eldritch storm of falling stars. Now the city is a dismal urban wasteland contaminated by otherworldly magic and haunted by hideous monsters. Dungeons of Drakkenheim is an award-winning, gothic-fantasy campaign featuring a ruin-crawling adventure in a city destroyed by an Eldritch meteor. If you enjoy faction intrigue, cosmic horror, and player-driven choices, this is the story for you! I have set the city of Drakkenheim in the desolated areas of the Bürach Empire in the world of Etharis, combining the best of both horror settings created by Ghostfire Gaming. Once we complete the Drakkenheim experience, if the players wish to continue, we will expand out into the dark world of Etharis all the way to level 20! If you want to experience an adventure of eldritch and gothic horror where the player choices drive the story forward, join us and journey into this haunted world.

About me
🎲 “Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first… success!” Hello, I’m Tyler — a storyteller, designer, and lifelong gamer with decades of experience behind the screen. My players describe me as Immersive, Supportive, and Masterful. I’ve guided hundreds of players through unforgettable games at conventions, on streams and podcasts, and in home campaigns across North and South America. I’ve collaborated with publishers like Onyx Path, Free League, Chaosium, and Helmgast, and I’m also a published writer and designer with credits in both indie and professional TTRPG projects. Whether it’s your first session or your hundredth, my goal is always the same: create a safe, inclusive space where your story matters. I invite you to explore my reviews and join a game to see why so many players return to my tables again and again.

Creating your character
We will have a Session 0 to start the campaign where we will build characters and go over everything together. If you join later, I will work with you 1 on 1 to create your character for your first session. The game will use 2024 5e but 2014 compatible rules. All official Wizards of the Coast books and all products of Drakkenheim and Etharis created by Ghostfire Gaming will be available.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Session 0 is free. After booking you’ll get a Discord invite. Once you join you will receive access to Foundry, which only requires web access and a free account. Otherwise all you need is a microphone and the desire to tell an awesome story!
What Tyler brings to the table
My focus is on creating a cinematic, immersive, and player-driven narrative. A Professional's Touch: With my experience as a published writer and game designer, I bring a deep understanding of story structure, pacing, and character development to the table. Premium VTT Experience: The entire campaign is built in Foundry VTT, featuring high-quality maps, dynamic lighting, and integrated audio for deep immersion.

How Tyler creates a safe table
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.
