Description

Dragonbane: Module : Shadow Over Gloomshire (probably max 5 sessions) Beginner Friendly | Online | Every Other Wednesday 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.  What You Need -Discord for voice chat -Owlbear Rodeo (free browser-based VTT) -No webcam required I’ll provide all links and setup info.  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. Dragonbane: Module : Shadow Over Gloomshire (probably max 5 sessions)

Saturday, 7PM +2 GMT, biweekly, 20$ per session  Foundry + Discord Sign up on Startplaying HERE --- Misty Vale was covered by mist for a long time. Within those mists only ruins remained of empire long forgotten. Now the mist is no more and you heard that the treasures hidden within it are to be found and claimed! In this Dragonbane campaign, you will explore dangerous wilderness, ancient tombs, monster-infested dungeons, abandoned villages, and mysterious strongholds. Every expedition carries risk. Supplies run low, monsters hunt the roads, and greed often proves deadlier than steel. The campaign combines classic fantasy adventure with open exploration, deadly combat, strange magic, and opportunities for both heroism and disaster. My games focus on atmosphere, player-driven choices, immersive roleplay, and fast-paced cinematic action. Dragonbane rewards creativity, clever plans, and bold decisions over perfect character builds. Expect dangerous journeys, memorable NPCs, dark humor, tense combat, and a living world that reacts to your successes and failures. This game is ideal for players who enjoy old-school fantasy adventures, exploration-heavy campaigns, and stories shaped by risk and discovery. Dragonbane is enjoyable by both grognards wishing to try something new but with a familiar taste and new players alike. No prior experience with Dragonbane is needed — new players are welcome, but survival is never guaranteed.

Hello, I want to start GMing Dragonbane, this will be the first time I GM this system so beginners are welcome, we will learn as we go. I will provide all the rules and any necessary books. All i ask is that you want to play this system and is willing to learn. I'm planning on running a one-shot to begin with, and if everyone wants to continue we'll play through 11 beginner adventures that all connect into a bigger story. If everything goes well my plan is to then move on to either another premade adventure or my homebrew world. My goal is to find 4-5 players and the start date will be chosen once we have our group. I'll be using FoundryVTT and discord to play. "Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. We call this playstyle “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” Send me a dm if you are interested.
