About the adventure
š„ Alright. Letās go to Hell. What started in the back alleys of Baldurās Gate? Yeahāitās about to drag you screaming into Avernus. First layer of the Nine Hells. Endless war, soul deals, & everything on fire. š¹ Zarielās waiting. Sheās a fallen angel with a big sword & bigger issues. You can try to stop herāor see what happens when you say yes. š„ War machines? Yeah, we got those. Soul-powered, metal-grinding nightmares. Youāll be driving them. Hopefully not into lava. š³ļø Hell doesnāt play fair. The devils lie, the land shifts, & everything costs more than you think. Welcome to the deal. āļø New players are absolutely welcome. Weāre picking up just after the descent. Full Session Zero included to catch you up & lock you in. š„ So. Whatās it gonna be? Stand tall or fall hard. Hell doesnāt care. But I do. Letās make this story hurt in all the right ways. [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] ------------------------------------------- š£See what Erin has to say about my GM'ing: "Leland is a fantastic DM. They're enthusiastic about every game they run and clearly want every single one of their players to enjoy their time with him and experience a successful campaign. I initially played Monster of the Week with him as a way to dip back into playing with a group and eventually played (and am currently playing in) my first DnD campaign with Leland as DM. He's patient and encourages questions and all the silliness that comes with role-playing games. You genuinely couldn't ask for a better DM!"

About me
Hey hey! Iām Leland, and Iāve been running TTRPG's since the early 2000's, basically forever at this point, and still loving every second of it! Iām all about weird stories, haunted places, big emotions, and characters that actually matter. If you're the kind of player who cares about the story you're telling and loves when the world responds to your choices, weāll get along just fine. What to expect at my table: š Roleplay/Story-forward gameplay š A living world that reacts to your decisions š Rules that bend to support the scenario š³ļøāš A super chill, inclusive space to hang out in I run everything from cozy slice-of-life to full-on horror; sometimes both in the same session! If you like found family, strange magic, and a little chaos, youāre most definitely in the right place. You bring the character, Iāll bring the world. Letās make something rad together!

Creating your character
If you'd like to make a character in advance, the parameters are as follows. It must be made on Roll20 OR on DndBeyond + the Beyond20 extension if you're wanting to use the 2024 material exclusively, which is allowed, just not suggested: -Lvl (current campaign level, please ask) -Standard array ability scores -Starting equipment -Max HP at 1st level, average after that (fixed) -a bonus feat based on your background, using this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ofgtj4c46M7hBe2eAViKh3ssXaXfhMdzZRgEe46Qolc/edit?usp=sharing -All WOTC content available in my roll20 library is available to make a character with, including 3rd party classes, subclasses, races, & spells from: Midgard Worldbook, Rise of the Drow, Chains of Asmodeus, Sebastian Crowe's guide to Drakkenheim, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Southlands Player's Guide & Worldbook, Creature Codex, Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn, Deep Magic Vol. 1 & 2, The Beastheart & Monstrous Companions, The Illrigger, Empire of the Ghouls, Tome of Beasts 1, 2, & 3, Tome of Heroes, Flee Mortals, Underworld Player's Guide, Valda's Spire of Secrets, Vault of Magic, Wanderer's Guide to Enchanted Emporiums, Wanderer's Guide to Merchants and Magic, Wastes of Chaos, Where Evil Lives, Book of Ebon Tides, & Xanathar's Lost Notes to Everything Else. 127+ races. 41+ classes. Otherwise, I can personally get with anyone and help them in advance. I'd like to use session 0 to discuss safety, do some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between PC's, and maybe even get intros to said characters. However, we will make it work!
Every Wednesday at 8pm Central --------------- Note: this game is having to be rebooted, after the group descends directly into Avernus. We will do a proper session zero for anyone that joins, and catch you up on the pre-existing characters. You will start at level 8

How Leland House creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
