About the adventure

So, you've sold your soul. Yeah, big deal—every warlock in D&D can say the same, and most never have to face the consequences. The perks of being a one-shot character. But consequences there are, my friend. Eternal damnation is, in fact, worse than it's billed as. In the Nine Hells, you thrive or you die—there's no margin in between. And if not for just you...haven't you heard? Your loved one got tricked out of their soul, too. Is it worth it to face an early grave in Hell itself for the chance to rescue a soul from the very same? And even if you manage that...how exactly were you planning to convince Asmodeus, Overlord of the Nine, to even let you leave? Chains of Asmodeus is a module for high-level characters created by the legendary video game storywriter James Ohlen, of Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Knights of the Old Republic fame. Sail down the River Styx through all nine layers of Hell in search of that which was lost. Along the way, encounter dangerous dealmakers and infernal warships; fugitive hags and fallen angels; mortals very much like and very much unlike yourself; and, of course, none other than the archdevils of the Nine themselves, from frozen Levistus to immortal Asmodeus. (He is on the cover of the book, after all.) Neither survival nor success are guaranteed in this odyssey—and even if you live, you may regret the price. Sign on to take the chance. Oh, and don't forget to do that thing that your benefactor who helped you get here in the first place wanted. You know, just while you're at it.

About me

Ladies, gentlemen, and friends from beyond the binary—well met, and a pleasure to meet indeed! As you step inside, do please leave your boots at the door. All settled in? Then come, and picture with me the following… A group of four, clad in the colors of their order and armed with weapons of the Old World. They tread with caution through the decrepit remains of a once-proud public library—best to be wary of the new librarians. Or instead, imagine this—a devil-horned man and an angel-winged woman ready their suppressed handguns, stack up on either side of a door, and nod beneath the flickering fluorescent light. The point of no return is nigh—if the gods won’t act, they’ll handle it themselves. Or picture yet again—pandemonium! The lich-king has won, and skeleton warriors run amok in the streets! There’s no stopping them now—how will you survive? These unique worlds and more await at my table. Players new and experienced alike are welcome—the only requirement is a good attitude!

Character creation
Creating your character

Characters start the adventure at level 10. We will use session zero to help flesh them out and establish relationships with one another before the adventure. Character creation materials are available through Roll20.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Players should have a microphone, a stable Internet connection, and access to Discord and Roll20. Beyond that, just bring your character sheet and a good attitude.

What Carson | Fabled Folklore Gaming brings to the table

The magic ✨ I also have the player resources books on Roll20 for character creation using official content, as well as a Google Drive folder full of official references and curated third-party publications for the homebrew aficionados.

Homebrew rules

My house rules are generally modest and all targeted at pain points I've identified in D&D5e after running over a thousand game sessions. I use some simple optional rules from the Dungeon Master's Guide to streamline the game, a small number of spell tweaks, and a change to the exhaustion mechanic that encourages players to proactively help one another stay standing in combat rather than engage in "yo-yo healing".

Safety
How Carson | Fabled Folklore Gaming creates a safe table

Chains of Asmodeus is a story of personal stakes. The fate of the world isn't at risk; the titular archdevil isn't about to destroy existence and only you can stop it. You just want to undo a mistake, and are willing to go to extremes to try. That means that your character is one who is flawed and who makes those mistakes. They will face temptation, and sometimes may give into it. They may not even be a particularly good person—this is literal Hell, after all. In character creation, we'll seek to strike the balance between a character who is interesting and flawed while also above the table being a fun character for everyone to have in the story. For safety tools, lines and veils live in a handout on Roll20, while the X card is drawn from a virtual deck of cards on Roll20.
