Please read the full description to make sure the game is a good fit for you.
The Adventure
We’ll be starting with Gloomshire, a popular third-party adventure for Dragonbane. It’s a shorter campaign, likely around 5 sessions, focused on a strange isolated town wrapped in dread and mystery.
If the group clicks and everyone has a great time, I’d love to continue into longer-term Dragonbane campaigns afterward, especially Misty Vale and eventually the upcoming TRUDVANG setting when it releases.
When we play
-8 PM EST 5/27/26 every other week on Wednesdays, 3 hour sessions
We’ll begin with a short Session 0 for character creation, expectations, and getting everyone comfortable with the system before jumping into the adventure.

Tone & Playstyle
I run pretty relaxed games. I enjoy tables where people can joke around, hang out, and have fun while the characters themselves take the world seriously.
The game leans heavily into atmosphere, exploration, and adventure. Expect spooky forests, strange encounters, dangerous combat, and moments where the dice completely change the story. Theater of the Mind & Maps
This game uses a mix of both.
Exploration is mostly theater of the mind
I use music, art, wallpapers, and atmosphere heavily
Combat sometimes uses maps when needed
Dungeons usually have maps if positioning matters
I’ve found that too many battlemaps can sometimes hurt immersion and imagination, so I prefer using them when they truly add value instead of for every single scene. What Is Dragonbane?
Dragonbane is a fantasy RPG with:
-Roll-under mechanics
-Skill-based characters
-No classes
-Fast combat
-Deadly encounters
-Lighter rules than D&D 5e
The game sits somewhere between heroic fantasy and old-school danger. Characters absolutely can die, and the randomness of the dice is a major part of the experience.
Things commonly determined randomly include:
-Ability scores
-Encounters
-Loot
-Travel events
-Mishaps and complications
Part of the fun is embracing the uncertainty and seeing where the adventure goes. Sometimes the character who looks weakest on paper ends up becoming unforgettable.
