About the adventure
Delving into Drakkenheim to save the are from the Monstrocities this will be a darker theme game run on an adult spectrum. Horror themes along with the serious aspects to the world around the characters as they seek to solve what has happened and how to help those around them from the disturbing realities. The party will be going through the Sandbox options within Dungeons of Drakkenheim to explore the city and the world around it, seeking to choose which powers will gain political influence over the are and ultimately to try and save the city from the Delerium Haze. I have transferred the world build into the Toril Material Plane to simplify things like the Planes around Drakkenheim but seek to keep as much of the true lore there as possible. Join the party in this deep adventure centered around your characters and their choices and lives. Customized to meet the party's goals and aspirations. We have space for a few more regular players to join up!

About me
Will my dice be splattered with Your blood, or that of your enemies today? I run a welcoming table with as much immersion as possible, creativity rewarded and helpful patience for new players. Neurodiversity is welcomed and understood; and I like to keep the table fairly clean. If you'd like to see my style before sitting down to play I always welcome people to listen in and watch my games through my discord server. I prefer to utilize Talespire (one time puchase on Steam for the Full Edition, or message me to use my prepaid Seats which let you try the program for free with Guest Edition) when playing online because it brings in the use of 3D and player interaction far more than anything I have found (great for things like ADHD). It also helps integrate sound and ambiance. I am also able to screen share with Discord should you not wish to get Talespire yet. I started as a Dungeon Master many years ago. Through the joint effort of some of my friends I was pulled into playing in my first one shot led by a friend who has played since 1st Edition. His masterful story telling and knowledge of the Lore, Rules and System inspired me to try and bring the same joy to others around me and I learned to DM to have more D&D happening locally. I'm a homeschool educator and work for the CAF Cadet program which allows my schedule to be quite flexible. Specializing in DMing for newbies and helping people learn the game both in person and online. I usually utilize the Forgotten Realms allowing people to learn more of the lore and get familiar with base concepts of the game, but I do include some homebrew to keep things fresh and a few fun house rules to keep things more engaging. StartPlaying for me is a place to meet new players, enjoy more online events and take part in the larger community. I primarily run games in Central Alberta, Canada in person and do many campaigns through my discord server as well which limits when I can offer time slots for events on StartPlaying and lowers my "games played" number but I hope to see you all soon! I am an Orthodox Christian, which does come with some adaptations of 5E as I do not include anything Occultic. I am willing to be stricter on pantheons or other areas for custom requests. I look forward to playing with you all! I will be running regular one shots on a weekly basis! I do not use AI in my stories or artwork. Join my Discord server to keep in the know and Get all the Links for Future Games. Or Connect on my FB under DM Niesa to stay in touch for in person events too!

Creating your character
Details discussed on the discord, please message me to know where the campaign is at for new character creation to the party. Preferred that characters be created in the shared Obsidian Vault if you are a returning character over DnDBeyond. Ensure you have a solid internet connection, sound system and get added to the Discord for all details. I do sit down with players for character creation for free to help everyone be ready to play.
The Party currently consists of a Ranger, Paladin and Barbarian at Level 2
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Details discussed on the discord where the main chat is. You will need Talespire (Guest Edition or the full game). You also need a Microphone and Headset working and character sheets are done in the Obsidian Shared Vault I will give you info to. For the quick moment a Character sheet in other places is alright too.
What DM Niesa brings to the table
I strive to be a story teller, customizing everything for my individual players benefit. I work on voices, but the core of what I try to bring is the emotional involvement and an ongoing interest in what will come next. I bring along the use of Talespire to build 3D immersion, audio for sound effects and ambiance and interactive maps. This allows HeroForge and Titancraft to connect and bring in your own mini's if you would like and have your own Talespire account. I also have extra Seats in Talespire, which allow you to use the game and enjoy it off of my own purchase. For repeat customers I also allow access to my own special databank with resources for character creation. This will be shared with Campaign Players. I am a pretty relaxed but consistent GM. I utilize the Rule of Cool within reason to free up the space for your wildest ideas, out of the box thinking and the ability to be unleashed! Using expanded content from sources beyond WoTC, like from DMs Guild and Kobold Press. I go with the flow of the party, happily blending to their styles so we all can enjoy our games to the fullest.
