About the adventure
For years, the shattered skyline of Drakkenheim has loomed on the horizon like a broken crown, its streets swallowed by ash, its towers split open by the same falling star that ended a kingdom. The survivors call it the Haze: a creeping veil of corrupted mist that clings to stone and bone alike, twisting anything foolish enough to breathe it for too long. And deep within the ruins, shards of otherworldly crystal glitter in the dark, beautiful, priceless, and catastrophically dangerous. Now the city stirs again. Lights flicker behind boarded windows where no one should live. Patrols vanish between collapsed alleys, leaving only scorched steel and frantic prayers. Whispers spread through taverns and war camps alike: the Haze is thickening, the crystals are “singing,” and something beneath the cathedral ruins is awake, hungry, patient, and very aware that treasure-seekers have returned. Five factions circle Drakkenheim like vultures, each certain they alone can claim the city’s secrets, or cleanse it, control it, or ignite it into something new. Alliances shift overnight. Promises are bought with blood. And every step into the ruins asks the same question in a thousand different ways: What will you become in Drakkenheim, before Drakkenheim becomes you? ✨ Why Choose This Experience? 🏙️ Ruined City Sandbox: Explore a sprawling, open-ended urban wasteland where every district tells a different horror story and every expedition can change the balance of power. ☄️ Dark Fantasy Catastrophe: Unravel the mystery of the meteor’s impact, the spreading Haze, and the strange crystals that tempt heroes and villains alike. 🕯️ Faction Intrigue & Hard Choices: Negotiate, betray, bargain, or unite rival powers. Your decisions shape the city’s future and decide who gets to write history when the dust settles. ⚔️ High-Stakes Survival & Heroism: Resource pressure, dangerous delves, and escalating threats make every victory feel earned, while your characters rise from desperate scavengers to legends of a fallen realm.

About me
Hello, I'm Dire. I've been playing RPGs, tabletops, writing stories, and creating worlds for a substantial amount of time. I feel like I can offer a unique experience to players who are interested in exploring a homebrew world. My specialization lies mainly in running anime-themed games and worlds, such as One Piece, Naruto, and Fairy Tail, among others. I have years of experience reading and watching them. I love building maps and customizing the world to my players' liking, giving them true freedom of choice. You can develop friendships with well-known characters, build relationships with them, and change the course of the entire world through your choices. With me, the sky is the limit, and I'm here to facilitate the story you wish to tell. If you're interested in being a part of any anime-themed games based on 5E, let me know, and I'll see if it's something I can set up for you. I always love the fun and nonsense that can be done in anime worlds, which sometimes doesn't entirely fit into a normal 5E setting. Anime settings provide the freedom to indulge in more silly or fun ideas.

Creating your character
🛠️ Character Creation 🧾 Comfort & Consent First Before we dive into the world, every player will receive a comfortability sheet (based on the RPG Consent Checklist). This helps identify themes you're comfortable with, wish to avoid, or want to explore carefully. This ensures everyone can enjoy the game in a safe, respectful environment. 👥 Session 0 Character Creation We’ll build characters together during Session 0, where I’ll walk you through the options, help you fit into the world, and answer any questions — whether you're brand new or a seasoned player. We’ll also discuss tone, themes, party dynamics, and how your characters connect to the story. 📱 DNDBeyond Required: All characters will be built using DNDBeyond, the free and powerful character creation tool that makes building and levelling seamless. I’ll provide guidance and support during setup to make sure everyone is ready to jump into the action.
This game runs weekly with a 3 on, 1 off. This means three weeks in a row the game runs, with one week off each month, this is for the DM's mental health and to spend time with their family.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a: - Discord account and be willing to join the discord group. - A working mic with a quiet space, but push to talk is also fine. - Stable internet - A PC is required to run foundry, no account or purchase required (if you haven't used foundry before, let me know, and I can do a tester to let you see how your pc would handle foundry) - DNDBeyond Account, which is free to create one.

How ScarletBunny creates a safe table
✅ Before Play – Consent and Boundaries RPG Consent Checklist: All players will be asked to complete a consent checklist before the campaign begins. This includes preferences, hard/soft limits, and comfort levels with various themes. Lines & Veils Document: I’ll provide a sharable Google Doc (or other editable format) listing all the group's established Lines (hard limits), Veils (fade to black), and Ask First topics. This document will remain editable throughout the campaign. Session 0: We’ll cover tone, expectations, safety tools, play style, scheduling, and character concepts. You’ll have time to ask questions, share concerns, and collaborate on how your character fits into the world. 🌟 After Play – Check-Ins and Debriefs Stars & Wishes: At the end of each session, we’ll share Stars (things we loved) and Wishes (things we’d like to see next time). This helps foster growth, communication, and keeps the table collaborative. Optional Aftercare: If a session touches on intense themes, I’m happy to check in privately via message or chat. You’re never obligated to explain, but the door is always open.
