About the adventure
Dungeons of Drakkenheim is a 5th-edition dark fantasy and cosmic horror campaign setting where adventurers explore a ruined, magic-polluted capital city contaminated by an eldritch meteor shower. Create characters who are involved with one or more of the following factions and are interested in discovering more about where the monarchy has disappeared to... Factions: Hooded Lanterns: Veterans aiming to restore the realm and crown a rightful heir. Queen's Men: Criminal outlaws turning the ruins into a lawless playground. Silver Order: Religious crusaders seeking to purge and destroy all delerium. Followers of the Falling Fire: A religious sect viewing the crystals as a holy sign. Amethyst Academy: Arcane scholars wanting to harvest and study the stone. Get involved with the poilitical ongoings, the monsters of the city that do not hold back, and discover what truly is going on behind the scenes... โ๏ธ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐: ๐ฉธ๐ฉธ๐ฉธ๐ฉธ ๐ฃ ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐ ----- What players have said about my campaigns: "Josh is incredibly flexible and makes even the most random of detours engaging and challenging." - Nayah Perry "His patience and easy instructions will put any beginner players at ease. Seasoned players would enjoy his openness to riffing off players ideas and he is very good at scaling difficulty based on your preference. Whether you are a bright eyed novice, in for great world building and lore, or a murder hobo, Josh is a very accommodating GM and might just be the right one for you." - Raphael Rios "The GM that brought me from an absolute noob, through to multiple campaigns - even inspiring me to try my hand at running my own games. Absolutely good fun, with a solid balance of mechanical understand of rules and making things fun." - Vicnan P " I've tried a couple other GMs in the past who never really worked for me, but it's been almost 6 months straight playing with Josh now and I don't think I'll need to or want to look for another GM ever again (and you won't either!). I was very new to D&D when I started and Josh made it SO easy. His games are very inclusive, fun and it's a great space to gain more confidence in whatever area you wish, just like I did. Josh really takes the time to love your character as much as you do and he puts in as much effort as you do to make your character and their story come to life! If you have a million questions or just one that you need to be reminded of every session, he will be there to answer it in or out of session. " - Sammy

About me
Hey there, adventurer! If youโre looking for an epic adventure to go on, for something intriguing to unravel, or for scary beasties to eat your character, youโll find something at my table that is up your alley. If you don't see a time slot that you can make, please feel free to drop me a direct message here or on discord (theotherjoshart) and we can definitely work something out! I'm Josh (he/him), better known on the internet as Fried Dice. You might've seen me stream my Southeast Asian inspired games on Twitch, or if you live in little red dot called Singapore, you might've played in my games in-person! Iโve been running games professionally for over-half a decade now, and have taught hundreds of new players, shared tables with long-time veterans, and of course everyone else in between. ๐Community Having run games on twitch, Iโve cultivated a community of TTRPG gamers across the globe. All varieties of experiences, backgrounds, and upbringings have come together and cultivate a safe and welcoming space. ๐ฒExperience I've ran over 20 campaigns to completion, both homebrew and pre-published campaigns. I've taught hundreds of people how to play D&D from running dozens of Learn to Plays. I primarily run online games on a Foundry, with both animated and static maps. I've run over 100+ online sessions, even more in-person games, encompassing one-shots, mini-arcs, and over 20 campaigns to completion. Iโm always looking to learn new TTRPG systems and exploring new ideas. I would love to run games where on top of having fun, everyone grows a little. ๐ซFun and Spice I've been described as an Enabler Game Master by my players, and that fits the bill! I'm all about figuring out what the party wants to do, and making sure it happens. Wanna start a fantasy fast food chain? Let's get there. Want to turn into a dragon? We'll have to work hard for it, but it's not impossible! Do you want to feel like Frodo and the fellowship from Lord of the Rings? Let's make that happen. If all this sounds right up your street, the come by, and letโs have an amazing and memorable adventure together. Bring along a good attitude and respect for the fellow human, and youโll find yourself right at home. โจ CURRENTLY AVAILABLE for online games across multiple time zones. Want a taste?

Creating your character
We will make characters during a session 0 to ensure that we are all aligned and that our characters have a reason to stick together. Stats will either be point-buy or by rolling - we will decide together during session 0. No ban lists, but all homebrew materials are subject to re-balancing as needed. In particular, I have had many players use the Pugilist, Bloodhunter, and Swordmage classes.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
