“Fallen Darklords” by Dungeon Master Beth the Bard
Fallen Darklords is a gothic horror campaign where redemption and ruin walk hand in hand. You’ll play as former tyrants or tragic figures—powerful beings stripped of their domains, now trapped in a cursed land that reflects the sins of their past lives. Haunted by memory and hunted by fate, you must decide whether to atone, escape, or reclaim what was lost. This story is steeped in dark fantasy, moral tension, and surreal landscapes shaped by regret. Will you confront your former self… or become something worse?
Starting Level: 0 (up to 10)“Mournveil” By Dungeon Master Edward Spence
One of the Domains of Dread, this once verdant land plucked from the Material Plane now stands behind the great Mist Wall. Werewolves stalk the woods. Hags offer dark temptations in the forests. Dread shapes swim deep beneath the water of The Pallid Lake. Witch hunters track down magic users, hellbent on the eradication of the arcane.
The seven Standing Settlements are all that remain. Fading bastions of hope, it is in these crumbling cities that the citizens of Mournveil survive and dare to hope, praying for a day when the sun will shine once more. But such a thing has not happened in hundreds of years. And under the cruel eye of the Vampire Counts, it likely never will again...
Starting Level: 7“Death in the Musfolde” by Dungeon Master Chris Hately
In the far north of a lonely isle in the Nord Sea, the beasts of the earth struggle in endless conflict. Kings rise like the grass of the field and fall like rain from the sky. Armies march to the beat of drums for the winning of a mile of arable land. Vast monstrosities like the snake or the owl prey ever upon those creatures desperate to eke a living out of the ground.
This is the island of Deoria, where mice rule their petty kingdoms in a world where everything wishes them dead. You play the role of one of those mice, serving your lord, protecting your fellow mice, and protecting the future of the kingdom you serve. Life is often short and bloody for those in your line of work, but the glories are tenfold. Be you thegn, villein, freemus or serf, all have their role.
Death in the Musfolde is a love letter to the likes of Redwall, Secret of NIMH, Animals of Farthing Wood, and Watership Down. You play the part of a tiny creature in an impossibly wide world, struggling to make their mark and forge their legacy.
Starting Level: 3“Glam & Glittergroove” By Dungeon Master The GM Tim
The most unapologetically queer GAYme of Dungeons & Dragons ever offered at D&D in a Castle. All are welcome, whether queer, allied, or just up for over-the-top fun and a hefty dose of glitter. You’re members of a rising band (no, it does not have to be an all-bard group) invited to compete in The Battle for the Crown, a legendary showcase where artistry, flair, and fame collide in the most prestigious concert event this side of the Realms. Win the coveted Crown Contract, a prize that launches groups into superplanedom. As a bonus you get to outshine your rivals—the ever-petty, always-gilded glam punks of "Glittergroove", who usually bring more than just music to the mainstage. This premier GLAMpaign blends campy chaos, high-stakes adventure, and radiant self-expression.
Slay the stage. Take the crown.
Adventuring never looked so good.Starting Level: 3HARDCORE MODE: “Godfall: Reclaiming the Divine” (Mystery Dungeon Master)
The Gods are dead. An unseen evil has eradicated the divine across all pantheons, leaving the world in chaos. Eldritch abominations roam freely, and the surviving deities have vanished or fallen. But hope remains. You and your companions are Remnants, chosen by fate and infused with a spark of divine power left behind by the fallen gods. Your mission: to reclaim lost realms, harness divine power, and form a new Pantheon that will restore balance to the universe.
Welcome to the Eternal Citadel, the last bastion at the edge of existence. Your journey begins here.
