Drakkenheim: The Ruined City of Eldritch Horror.

Creating your character

you start at Level 1. This campaign follows your progression from desperate survivors entering the outer ruins all the way to legendary heroes reshaping the city. We use D&D 5e, and all official sourcebooks are completely allowed for your classes, races, and backgrounds. To keep things fair and balanced, stats will be determined using Standard Array or Point Buy. The general vibe requires a cohesive party of characters who have a strong personal reason to brave the ruins. No disruptive murderhobos allowed.

Preparing for the session

For player preparation and software, everyone will need Discord for live voice chat with a decent mic, a web browser to access the premium Foundry VTT server which features fully rendered maps, dynamic lighting, line-of-sight walls, and atmospheric soundscapes, and a free D&D Beyond account where you will build your characters so they can link directly to the table.

What Cade Ironkettle brings to the table

first, the Rule of Cool. If you want to try something epic dat isn't strictly in the rulebook but makes sense for your character and the scene, I will almost always say: "You can certainly try." Second, atmosphere over voices. I'll be honest—I am still working on perfecting my NPC voices, so you won't get a professional voice actor. Instead, I focus one hundred percent of my energy on building thick cinematic tension, using soundscapes, and pacing the narrative to give you a genuine horror experience. Third, a lighthearted out-of-character vibe. We are here to play a game. Even when your characters are fighting for their lives against terrifying monsters, we as players are going to laugh, throw out horror movie references, and enjoy the ride.

How Cade Ironkettle creates a safe table

For safety and warnings: We use digital safety tools like Lines and Veils and a digital X-Card right inside the software. Because this is a cosmic horror campaign, the core themes and warnings include body horror, mutations, psychological madness, descriptions of visceral combat, and claustrophobic urban decay. There is a strict zero-tolerance restriction against bigotry, sexual violence, player-versus-player hostility, or disruptive behavior.
