About the adventure
Please be advised, this campaign wrestles with mature themes and plunges you into the Nine Hells. I make use of lines and veils and enable safety tools in my games to make sure nothing crosses over to make players uncomfortable. Hey You! Go to Hell! Welcome to Avernus: Highway to Hell, a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game that will take you on a high action adventure through Baldur's Gate's most recent apocalypse. In this game, 3 to 6 players will have the chance to immerse themselves in the eternal struggle between Devils & Demons, known as The Blood War. The game will also provide ample space for non-combat choices and character development. The overall vibe of the game will be one of high tension and drama, as players navigate the dangers of Avernus, the first level of Hell. If you enjoyed playing Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll love exploring the story that leads up to it in Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus. Assemble your party to depart for the prequel to Baldur’s Gate 3. You will help the various governments and factions of the region in dealing with dark forces enveloping the land. Are you hero, villain, or a little bit of both? Forge your path ahead and become hero or enemy of the land. Explore the Forgotten Realms like you never have before! Are you ready to take on the fires of Avernus, before diving into the rest of the nine hells and hopefully making it back in one piece? Join us on this epic journey, and see if you have what it takes to make it to the end Hell's Highway! 🔥 Choose Your Fate: Whose soul is at stake? A beloved spouse's, a trusted ally's, or perhaps the very essence of your being? 🛡️ Embark on an Epic Quest: From levels 1-11, descend into a thrilling adventure that takes you from the city of Baldur’s Gate to the depths of the Nine Hells, where you’ll face fiendish foes, make diabolical deals, and drive infernal war machines. You’ll also discover the fate of the fallen city of Elturel and the archdevil Zariel, who plays a major role in Baldur’s Gate 3. From levels 11 to 20, delve back into the sinister depths of the Nine Hells. Face off against the mastermind of malevolence, Asmodeus, and brave the eerie currents of the River Styx. Challenge your mettle against some of the most formidable foes from the darkest corners of the outer realms! 🌌 Crafted by Legends: Immerse yourself in a tale spun by the iconic James Ohlen, the genius behind timeless classics such as Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins. Complemented by the literary prowess of award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky, renowned for masterpieces like Children of Time and The Doors of Eden. 📖 Rich in Content: Dive into a hefty tome of nearly 300 pages brimming with fiendish plots, intricate details, and heart-pounding adventures. 🔥 Unique homebrew additions to the campaign that will extend and improve the Descent into Avernus storyline, adding new layers of excitement and challenge to the adventure.

How Angel creates a safe table
We will go over safety tools and consent in Session 0. I regularly check-in with my players and tailor the adventures to meet their needs and ensure everyone has an amazing experience. A typical session will be everyone joining the Discord voice channel, and then joining the Roll20 link a few minutes before the start to load the map and have some time for social chat. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploration and Roleplay will be large portions of the game as well as Combat, but these things will be tuned to meet everyone's needs. Content warnings should be viewed as items that may appear in the game, not items that are guaranteed to appear. To ensure everyone has a safe and comfortable time at the table, part of our Session 0 will involve going over lines, veils, and other content that the table might wish to avoid. Players who join mid-game should discuss these topics with me during weekly office hours. Certain themes are central to the text and cannot be avoided: the story is fundamentally about devils and hellfire, with an emphasis on demonic bargains, and a certain degree of violence and danger are to be expected, while certain character races and abilities involve body horror, fire, and memory alteration or removal. I like to play games with a healthy mix of role-playing and strategy, keeping time for both serious, dramatic moments and silly, humorous story beats. You can expect the game world to be fully developed, everywhere you go will be saturated in narrative, artwork, cartography, voice mods and atmospheric music. My games are a safe space for everyone involved, which we can go over with Lines & Veils. The most important goal for me as the GM is to make sure everyone has a great time playing. In a standard 3 hour game you can expect to have a 20-minute break around mid-session, and quick bio breaks whenever needed.
