Why are we nicknamed the City of Bones? says:

People first started calling us that when the city's founder killed the dragon Ignomia and used her bones to build the walls of Drakonheim.

It took on new meaning after the Empire fell. The marble palaces became skeletal remains of a dead civilization.

Now there is a third reason. The bones of the dead walk the street. Skeletons and zombies. Why don't we fear them? We do, of course. But what choice do we have?

—Gavin Kipper, guide for hire
To save the city from disaster, Drakonheim made a deal with a cabal of necromancers. Now this cabal, the Gray Society, holds the real power in the city.

Drakonheim is a fantasy city full of intrigue and surrounded by dangers. Goblins dwell in the sewers, undead walk the streets, and aristocrats scheme for greater power. Hobgoblins ride across the northern plains, lizardfolk rule the southern swamps, and all manner of monsters hunt in the western mountains.

Drakonheim is a system-free setting; you can use it with any fantasy roleplaying game. It can serve as a quick stopping point, or as the center of an entire campaign.

✅ The Game System and Rules Version. 2400 Legends

✅ The Pitch. You're newcome to Drakonheim, a faded imperial city built among and around the bones of an immense dragon, recently attacked by hobgoblins, and now patrolled by undead among the living citizens. It's a place of intrigue and adventure. Good luck!

✅ Adult Content or Controversial Themes. Nothing sexual or gory. No slavery or torture.

Expressing interest! Been on the lookout for something rules-lite; 2400 is perfect. And the setting looks interesting as well.

I'm going to run this for at least 90 posts so we can see what interest actually is. You're welcome to make a character and apply to the game through the details page. If you want a non-human character, please pick your two ancestry characteristics and I'll tell you what you are.

What's the premise of this game? From the pitch, I get the sense that this is a sandbox game, rather than a plot-focused one, but wanted to make sure!

Like a solid sandbox game, there is a metaplot, but it's not required to engage with it directly; sometimes sharp bits of it may poke the PCs. Mostly a setting with lots of potential side quests.

I'm interested in this. I believed I played in a adjacent ruleset called 24xx that was like a desert wasteland setting kind of like Dark Sun, so I think I'm familiar with the system. Sadly that game just wound down recently.

If you'd like to make a character, that would be great!

Hi everyone! The game with KaijuCuddlebug is well underway; his mighty lizardfolk warrior and two dwarf NPCs have just destroyed a squad of skeletal watchmen. It would be great if we could add a magic-user or cleric or thief PC. Any interest?

I would love to play a cleric.

What if I brought back Immortal Serpent? More of a martial arts mystic warlock than a cleric if you recall.

If you carefully read the 2400 Legends rules I think there is a way to have a human battle cleric.

I was interested in this but never got the invite, so I couldn't create my character or get the rules. I could be a magic user, if you still wanted me as a part of your game.

Invited you both!

I’d be interested if you still need players. Maybe a city-of-thieves Conan type character? Either that or a knight errant.

It depends what you'd like to play. Have you been in other games in here? Could you give me a link to one?

I don't know what 2400 legends is but i'd be interested in playing, i'd be using a monk

I'm new to the site and to 2400 but I'd be interested in joining if you're still recruiting?

This must have been one of the first threads into which I posted when I first joined the site. I did not even realize it until I saw my name above. I know absolutely nothing about this system, but I can certainly relate to the setting. I am guessing that that the other game you pitched was sabotaged by pernicious comments, as I think I was the only interested party. I am more comfortable with the site, now, and would like to participate in your game.

You're welcome to join and I will invite you. The game is a bit dormant as the present players seem slow to act on their plans.
