Dungeons of Drakkenheim

The Dungeon Dudes -- Monty Martin and Kelly McLaughlin -- are best known for their D&D advice YouTube channel, but Dungeons of Drakkenheim is where they put their money where their mouth is. This actual play campaign uses D&D 5e and takes place in the meteor-blasted ruins of a fantasy city, which is a wonderfully specific setting that avoids the generic medieval Europe problem a lot of D&D campaigns fall into. Monty DMs while Kelly plays alongside Jill Danaitis and Joe O'Gorman, forming a party that includes a brash prince, a streetwise survivor, and a meddlesome mage. The show streams live on Tuesdays from 6 to 9 PM EST on Twitch, with podcast episodes following on the usual platforms. The campaign was designed for characters level 1 through 13, giving it a defined scope that keeps the story focused rather than sprawling endlessly. What makes this show particularly interesting is that the Dungeon Dudes understand the rules deeply -- their YouTube content is literally about explaining D&D mechanics -- so the gameplay feels informed and intentional. The Drakkenheim setting eventually became a published adventure module through Ghostfire Gaming, which speaks to the quality of the worldbuilding. If you enjoy D&D played by people who really know the system and appreciate tight, setting-driven campaigns, this is a strong choice.
