About the adventure
"Welcome to 'Descent into Avernus: City of Lost Souls' - a thrilling Dungeons & Dragons campaign for adventurers with a taste for the infernal! This campaign is set in the treacherous city of Baldur's Gate, a place teetering on the brink of chaos, where political intrigue, nefarious plots, and dark magic swirl in every shadowed alley. As a group of intrepid heroes, you will begin your journey within the walls of Baldur's Gate, a city that's about to take an unexpected plunge into the depths of the Nine Hells. The theme of our game revolves around the eternal struggle between good and evil, as you, the players, find yourselves thrust into a desperate mission to save the city and potentially the entire multiverse from the clutches of infernal forces. We love to play a narrative-driven game, where your character's choices and development are at the forefront. The setting is rich in lore, offering a mix of dark, gritty urban exploration and epic battles against fiendish adversaries. Expect a blend of role-playing, investigation, and tactical combat as you navigate a world where trust is a rare commodity, and alliances can be as perilous as enemies. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to the world of D&D, 'Descent into Avernus: City of Lost Souls' offers an exciting and immersive experience filled with danger, mystery, and the chance to be heroes in the most unlikely of places - Hell itself."

About me
Hello hello! If you are here then you might be thinking of playing one in one of my games. I really appreciate your consideration so why don't I tell you a bit about myself? My name is Originalname but my friends call me Ori or Original. I have been playing D&D and other tabletop rpgs for 5 years while I have been Dming for 4 years, I pride myself on the fact that all my players have had fun in my campaigns, be it because the tone and atmosphere were really engaging or just because we have had a lot of fun due to the myriad of shenanigans the players are able to pull. I love dming and I have dmed for both newcomers and veterans from the Advanced Dungeon & Dragons era, I like to think that it's never late to learn how to play D&D while I also enjoy challenging both the dice andingenuity of my players. If you are paying for Dming services, you should be getting the best of the best and that's why i will give it my all to make every session special and fun for my players.

Creating your character
Character Concept Discussion: Before the campaign begins, I encourage players to brainstorm character concepts. This can include their character's race, class, background, and general personality traits. This can be done privately or as a group discussion to ensure party cohesion. Session 0: In our Session 0, we will review the characters and their backstories, ensuring they are integrated into the campaign's narrative. This is also an opportunity for players to discuss any character connections or plot hooks they'd like to explore.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Foundry VTT: Ensure access and familiarity with the platform. Audio Setup: Have a working microphone; webcams are optional. Rules: Basic understanding of D&D 5th Edition rules. Character Creation: Create a level 3 character within Foundry VTT.
What Originalname brings to the table
Game Facilitation: I will facilitate the game, including storytelling, role-playing, and managing the rules and mechanics. Virtual Dice Maps and Visual Aids: Within Foundry VTT, I will provide dynamic maps and visual aids to help players navigate the world of Barovia. I am committed to creating an immersive and engaging gaming experience, and I'll use digital tools and storytelling techniques to achieve that goal.

Safety
How Originalname creates a safe table
In our campaign, we prioritize the safety and comfort of all players. Here's how we use safety tools: Lines and Veils: We will provide a link to our Lines and Veils document before the campaign begins. During Session 0, we'll discuss each player's lines (topics they absolutely do not want in the game) and veils (topics that can be included but not described in detail). We'll ensure that everyone's boundaries are respected throughout the campaign. Session 0: During Session 0, we'll cover not only Lines and Veils but also expectations, character creation guidelines, and the overall tone of the campaign. We encourage open communication among players to establish a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.
