About the adventure
This is a high-level Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign set in the world of The Enemy Within. This campaign chapter takes place after Power Behind the Throne and begins with characters at their third to fourth career step. The road now leads beyond Middenheim into the shadow of Drachenfels: a ruined fortress, a forbidden name, and a myth that has survived for centuries. Tales speak of Constant Drachenfels, the Great Enchanter; of old powers buried beneath stone; and of secrets that refuse to stay dead. This is gothic fantasy, mystery, folklore, and consequence. Expect investigation, dangerous travel, social pressure, exploration, grim humour, and combat that matters. What begins as a legend will become something far more immediate. The Old World remembers — and it is watching what you choose to uncover.

About me
You’re looking for a world that remembers what you do. I’m Dunchan, the GM behind Mythveil Chronicles. My campaigns span horror, fantasy, science fiction and the World of Darkness. NPCs have their own motives, factions act between sessions, and player choices carry forward. New to tabletop roleplaying or a particular system? Many of my campaigns welcome newcomers. I’ll guide you through character creation and help you find your footing; each listing explains its own experience requirements. I build atmosphere with story, sound, visuals, maps and handouts where they fit. Platforms and preparation vary by game, so each campaign page lists the system, tools, schedule, group size and content notes. The per-session price shown on a campaign listing is that game’s price; private bookings use the profile rate. Mythveil draws on real history, mythology and belief to create worlds shaped by the people inside them. You don’t just visit the setting—you leave a mark.

Creating your character
Character creation happens in a dedicated Session Zero. Characters begin at the third to fourth career step: competent veterans with reputations, unfinished business, and enough experience to step into a story where the stakes are already high. We use Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition. Together, we build your character’s history, allies, scars, and ambitions; established characters can be adapted where that serves the new chapter, while new characters are created to belong in the story from the outset. No additional books are required beyond the Core Rulebook; Enemy Within material is handled at the table.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Before the first session: • Join the Mythveil Discord server. • Check that your microphone and audio setup work. • Make sure you can access Foundry VTT through your browser. • Read the short campaign briefing I provide. • Bring a simple character idea: a conviction, a scar, an ambition, or a fear. No advance lore or rules expertise is required beyond the WFRP 4th Edition basics. You will receive help with setup, character creation, and integration into the chapter.
What Dunchan Hunter brings to the table
Mythveil campaigns are cinematic, researched, and consequence-driven. I provide: • a high-level chapter in the world of The Enemy Within • atmospheric narration and carefully paced investigation • dangerous travel, hard choices, and meaningful combat • a haunted Castle Drachenfels and a Drakwald that remembers • Foundry VTT scenes, journals, maps, music, and handouts • a collaborative table where player choices reshape what follows No disposable stories. The Old World remembers.

How Dunchan Hunter creates a safe table
This is a dark Warhammer Fantasy campaign involving violence, death, occult practices, corruption, haunted places, and disturbing themes. The table remains collaborative and respectful. We establish Lines and Veils before play and keep them active throughout the campaign. Players may pause, redirect, or step away from a scene at any time; no explanation is required. We use private check-ins, an open-door policy, breaks, and a short debrief after difficult sessions.
