About the adventure
You have heard the stories all your life: Drakkenheim was once a shining jewel of the realm until the night the sky fell and left only ruins, madness, and the cursed haze. Fifteen years later, the shattered streets still glitter with lost treasure, ancient secrets, and the strange crystals called delerium. Fortune, fame, and power wait for those bold enough to step through the city gates. But Drakkenheim does not give without taking. Rival factions wage shadow wars in the streets, monsters stalk the broken alleys, and the haze twists body and mind alike. You will choose allies, make enemies, and decide what kind of legend you become. Enter the ruins, claim your destiny, and pray the city lets you leave alive. 📽️ Campaign Trailer from the Dungeon Dudes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wnGvCvIkq8 🔥 What to Expect🔥 🔥 Adventure from Levels 1–13: Rise from inexperienced wanderers to renowned champions as you survive a city twisted by strange and dangerous powers. 🔥 Immersive Story-Driven Play: Step into a tale of secrets, tension, and discovery, where each session reveals more of the city’s haunted streets and troubled history. 🔥 Character Backgrounds Matter: Each character's background and history will be worked into the campaign, allowing for rich character development. 🔥 Rich Visual Presentation: Every major character and location is brought to life with detailed artwork, drawing you deeper into Drakkenheim’s dark gothic atmosphere. 🔥 Mood-Setting Soundtracks: Carefully chosen music and playlists help capture the danger, mystery, and eerie tone of every adventure. 🔥 Fresh Campaign Surprises: Experience a game enhanced with custom homebrew content, adding new obstacles, memorable moments, and unexpected developments throughout Drakkenheim’s cursed ruins. 🔥 Memorable NPC Cast: Meet the people of Drakkenheim, each with distinct personalities, motives, and stories that make the world feel alive. 🔥 Discover a Ruined Metropolis: Explore a shattered capital filled with faction conflict, ancient magic, hidden treasure, and deadly monsters as you shape the city’s future.

About me
Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E, Pathfinder 2, and Daggerheart. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is collaboratively building narratives with players, integrating character backstories into our campaigns, whether homebrew or published. I believe that if you're paying for a DM, you deserve professionalism. I’ll be punctual, prepared, and respectful, treating you as a valued customer. I communicate well and am easily reachable between sessions. For online play, I use tools like Foundry VTT, Roll20, Discord, DNDBeyond, and Demiplane/Pathfinder Nexus. If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying RPG experience, give one of my games a try!

Creating your character
After you join the campaign, I will be available to help with anything you might need during the character creation process and before you play your first session. You are welcome to use any 2014 or 2024 sourcebook for character creation, including Sebation Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim. Ability scores can be determined through any of the typical methods: roll 4d6 and discard the lowest roll, point buy, standard array, etc. I am very pro-player and have very little restrictions when it comes to character creation.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players just need an account to these websites, which are all free: D&D Beyond Discord Foundry
What DM Ron brings to the table
I will provide an immersive game through Foundry VTT which will include background art, maps, ambient sounds, and music. I will provide you access to all of the WOTC resources that you will need to create your characters. My game will be role play focused, but will also have plenty of combat and exploration. Outside of the game itself, I also provide Discord community that is supportive, helpful, and absolutely fun to engage with.

How DM Ron creates a safe table
We will discuss boundaries before our first session. During that time, I will also provide each player with access to the digital Deck of Player Safety that they can answer anonymously. Finally, I will routinely check in with each player to see how they feel the campaign is progressing, during which we will continue to discuss boundaries.
