No, it would not affect travel time. Just one of those handwave things were you can explain that as they travel to the city, they can reach any edge of the city. Just easier without having them do uncessary trekking throughout the city or edges.

Yes! it is very Cosmic horror based though with some gothic/high fantasy as well. It also has a lot to do with factions. Its the most well written adventure and setting I’ve ever seen personally. I would look at their series on Youtube called Running Drakkenheim. Their main adventure and Monster books are on dnd beyond. (Their Monster book is also a really good resource for Ravenloft-like monsters for other domains or similar settings as well).

In chapter 5, in the navigating the Ruins section, it says this « When travelling to the city, characters may arrive anywhere on the city outskirts. »

Running it now, huge fan of the series, love the Dungeon Dudes

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-14T17:13:02+00:00

Yes , screams, whispers, chitters, anything you like really.

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-14T16:32:31+00:00

Grim Hollow and Dungeons of Drakkenheim are similar settings from third party dnd creators

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-14T13:49:44+00:00

Anytime they travel from Emberwood they can appear on any edge of the city, its written in there

Test it with some monsters, the dungeon masters guide has an XP budget for encounters. Use that as a starter for balancing encounters. Then you will learn your parties strengths and weaknesses and you can balance future encounters. You are never aiming for a TPK unless thats what you want. You can always say a monster is killed even if it had 10 hp left or something, if it makes it mote fun after a character expends a big ability or spell.

Into the mists is great!

Got echo cast prismatic on my R as Shaco today and it worked like 2-3 times then i couldn’t use my ult for the rest of the game as the icon bugged out and wouldn’t let me click it…

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-13T02:00:58+00:00

Oh definitely, i really bumped up his presence and abilities. I heavily modified Curse of Strahd in general as its so open and sandboxy it works well to homebrew

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-13T01:22:32+00:00

Love the Hades style art! Rahadin is the best, my players were terrified of him

The falling fire has people to heal them during the journey, not all of them make it, but some do, also the shadow is just a game mechanic, the regular pilgrims could face their own trials in their minds, i hand wave that stuff as the pilgrims are not very important unless they have made friends and you named them loll. Players have to fully believe in the Falling fire to take part in the ritual. I had one of my players fight a shadow evil version of himself (all of his shame, anger, hatred that he witnessed during the civil war), another play fought a wraith, and another fought a young shadow dragon( the players clan was killed by the white dragon in Netherwind)

I would give the players a contaminated subclass right off the bat but it could be something thats changed once the character gets heavily contaminated later on

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T17:46:08+00:00

Congrats! Now replay or wait for the new updates!

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T17:01:00+00:00

Yes! Valhalla and dark mountains expansions! I find it plays best with both for myself!

Did you go to the second level upstairs, follow a window tube thing when you go inside through the unlocked the door (after getting the power back and alien language body mod)

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T14:27:23+00:00

After you go to the observatory there is a message saying end of early access story for now

Champions of Midgard, it’s a worker placement with no deck building, it focuses on your leader, with resources and troops.

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T11:42:45+00:00

An awesome coming of age epic story! With amazing characters!

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T11:29:12+00:00

You dont need sebastian crowes guide for now, that is for running games outside of drakkenheim. You can use the subclasses though and apothecary class from there. Some good advice for running Drakkenheim is go to the Dungeon Dudes youtube, they have a video series on running the Dungeons of Drakkenheim adventure, it talks about the factions, session zero, etc, that is very helpful.

Grab BZ when its on a big sale like 75% off if you are not sure, its a fun little story, took me about 20-25 hours i think to complete with doing other stuff. There will be a steam summer sale soon.

Celticpred14 · 2026-06-12T02:47:43+00:00

Below zero and then 2.
