About the adventure
DRAKKENHEIM IS NO MORE Fifteen years ago, the sky fell. On a night remembered only as the Meteorfall, a storm of eldritch stars rained destruction upon the great city of Drakkenheim. In a single night, civilization was shattered, and something far worse was born. Now the once-proud capital lies in ruins. Twisted by otherworldly magic, the city has become a haunted wasteland where reality itself bends and warps. Monstrous creatures stalk the shattered streets, maddening horrors lurk in the shadows, and deadly contamination seeps from the meteor at the city's heart. Yet where others see death, adventurers see opportunity. Lost treasures, forbidden knowledge, ancient relics, and untold riches lie buried beneath the rubble, waiting for those brave—or desperate—enough to claim them. Noble houses, religious factions, secret societies, and ruthless scavengers all vie for control of what remains. The question is not whether Drakkenheim will change you. The question is what you're willing to sacrifice to claim its secrets. ⚔️ Explore a ruined city filled with mystery and danger 🧟 Battle horrific monsters and eldritch abominations 💰 Uncover lost treasures and powerful artifacts 🏰 Navigate the schemes of competing factions 🌑 Face corruption, madness, and impossible choices Will you become a legend of Drakkenheim? Or another corpse lost among its ruins?

About me
I run cinematic, fast-paced encounters that push players to think on their feet. In a grim dark setting, no session is the same — you’ll face brutal environments, strange magic, and desperate choices. My goal is to make every session feel like a chapter in a tense, unfolding legend.

Creating your character
Character Creation Players will create Level 2 characters using the 2024 D&D 5e ruleset on D&D Beyond. Ability scores will be generated using the Point Buy system. A wide variety of races, classes, feats, and character options will be available through my shared D&D Beyond resources. Whether you arrive with a fully formed character concept or just a rough idea, I'll work with each player individually to help weave their character into the world of Drakkenheim, ensuring they have meaningful ties to the setting, its factions, and the story ahead.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
What You'll Need To join the adventure, you'll need a Discord account, a reliable microphone, and a good pair of headphones to ensure clear communication during sessions. You'll also need a D&D Beyond account (a free account is perfectly fine), as we'll use it for character creation and campaign resources. Most importantly, bring a positive attitude, a willingness to collaborate with your fellow adventurers, and a thirst for exploration—Drakkenheim rewards the bold, the clever, and sometimes the lucky.
