About the adventure
You have heard the rumors and now you are driven to find out for yourself if what you heard was true. An eldritch storm of falling stars devastated the city on that woeful eve, leaving behind a meteorite that would have lasting effects. Fifteen years later, Drakkenheim is a dismal urban wasteland contaminated by otherworldly magic and haunted by hideous monsters. Fantastic wealth, lost knowledge, and powerful artifacts lie ready for the taking by adventurers brave or foolish enough to venture into the ruins. However, even those who survive the dangers of Drakkenheim may not return unmarked by its terrors! This level 1-13 game allows players to explore, interact and battle for the fate of a city terrorised and destroyed by eldritch forces. Players must fight, explore and survive the dungeons of Drakkenheim to find out the truth behind the disaster that rendered this city asunder, and decide the fate of Drakkenheim itself. EXPLORATION. Characters embark on dangerous expeditions into monster-filled ruins, haunted streets, decrepit gardens, shattered mage towers, baroque cathedrals, and ancient castles to plunder treasure and solve mysteries. INTERACTION. Five rival factions clash over the ruins of Drakkenheim. A tangled web of secrets, subterfuge, and sabotage awaits when the factions’ opposing objectives and your characters’ personal goals come into conflict! COMBAT. Beyond fierce warriors dispatched by the factions, all manner of otherworldly horrors inhabit Drakkenheim. Characters battle undead husks, predatory beasts, mutated monstrosities, and terrifying abominations produced by the mysterious meteor.

About me
Hello and thanks for stopping by! My name is Luke and I am happy to meet you. Let me start by saying that I am a long time table top role play gaming enthusiest. I absolutely love playing and GM'ing fantasy games and getting to know and make friends with others who enjoy them too. My goal as a GM is to cultivate an environment where every player feels not only welcomed but celebrated for their unique contributions and has their opportunity to shine at the table. It's all about fun! Tabletop roleplaying is more than just a game for me, it’s a treasured experience filled with unforgettable moments as we dive into the world and tell our stories. I have had a passion for fantasy and roleplaying games since I was a teenager and believe they have the power to forge bonds, spark creativity, and ignite a sense of adventure in all of us. I’m excited to share that passion with you! Join me on this epic journey, and let's craft unforgettable stories together and build memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
