Drakkenheim is no more. An eldritch storm of falling stars devastated the city on that woeful eve, leaving behind a meteorite that would have lasting effects. Fifteen years later, Drakkenheim is a dismal urban wasteland contaminated by otherworldly magic and haunted by hideous monsters. Fantastic wealth, lost knowledge, and powerful artifacts lie ready for the taking by adventurers brave or foolish enough to venture into the ruins. However, even those who survive the dangers of Drakkenheim may not return unmarked by its terrors!
This game is intended for adults (18+).

Meet the GM
Name: Ashowan Cohen
Profile: "I've been playing games for as long as I can remember, and 100% of my favorite gaming memories are from the laughs and tears that came from moments in ttrpgs. And now, with ten years of GM experience under my belt, I do my best to provide the chance to make those same memories for as many people as I can! From Dungeons and Dragons and Monster of the Week, to Blades in the Dark and the Sentinel Comics RPG, I'm happy to learn and run any system I can get my hands on. And when I'm not playing or prepping for a game, I can be found eating chocolate, reading romance novels, cross-stitching, and daydreaming about playing and prepping for a game."
Contact: You can reach your GM on the Academy's Discord server (gmashowan) or by e-mail.
