About the adventure
Baldur’s Gate teeters on the edge of damnation. A fallen city drags you into Avernus—the first layer of the Nine Hells—where war machines roar and devils offer you everything… for a price. 🔥 From Streets to Hellscapes: Begin in the corrupt alleys of Baldur’s Gate and descend into a blasted infernal warzone ruled by ambition, betrayal, and blood. 🔥 Fight Fire with Fiends: Pilot soul-fueled war machines, battle demons and devils, and bargain for power you may never give back. 🔥 For Players Who Dare the Damned: Ideal for those who enjoy moral gray areas, high-stakes choices, and metal-as-hell vibes.

About me
I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

Safety
How Noralf creates a safe table
To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all players, I use the following safety tools: 🚫 Lines and Veils: We'll define clear lines (topics off-limits) and veils (topics to address indirectly) to ensure everyone's comfort. 🚪 Open Door Policy: Your well-being is important. Feel free to step away from the game if needed. ✅ Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist: We'll use this checklist to align on themes and scenarios, respecting everyone's boundaries. 🎲 Our sessions will unfold on Discord, with DND Beyond for character management and Avrae for dice rolls and combat. We prioritize fun, inclusivity, and respectful interaction, fostering a creative and cooperative atmosphere.
