Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus

Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of ambition and corruption. You’ve just started your adventuring career, but already find yourself embroiled in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood War! Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells?

Recruiting notes

Message me on discord- trueparagon , for any questions. We are currently in Avernus/Hell. Level 5 Spoiler alert ahead, we passed the introduction chapter and just started the exploration of the fallen city of Elturel and from there Avernus and Hell itself. The party is really nice and really chill, friendly group of people overall. The adventure can work anyone's backstory if you theme it right so that it fits a hell narrative.

Paragon does an amazing job with storytelling, while maintaining balance between combat encounters and character roleplaying. Also he is very helpful with new players and always ready to answer any of your questions both in and out of game. He gives a lot of attention to detail and he is well-prepared for every session, wanting to explore the character's background stories and give all the players the chance to have their moments during the sessions. He uses a great variety of maps, music and homebrew rules that make the game expirience even more exciting. I will definitely keep playing at his campaign(s) and absolutely recommend him if you want to have a fun time playing DND.

I can't recommend him enough. I love the world and character building that is allowed with a comprehensive game with both a good use of the system with some additional flair and flavor.

Paragon is a stellar GM who I had the pleasure of playing with for a Witchlight campaign. Paragon embraced the tone of the campaign and allowed for plenty of time for role play fun whilst ensuring the game didn't get bogged down. I highly recommend Paragon. This is a top 10% GM here on SPG.l

It’s my first time playing a dnd campaign and Paragon has been been fun and welcoming. He’s professional when he needs to be but also chill enough to where it creates a fun atmosphere. Fun voices, good storytelling, and an all around good time

How to prepare

You will just need a Discord account and some basic understanding of 5E. Also discord is either installed or a website account. Have a few character concepts preferably or ideas vaguely usually it makes it easier to discuss what kind of a character you want to play when we get in touch

What I provide

I will bring custom music for the game, maps for the adventure, all the books and materials.

Gameplay details

We will do a session 0 to discuss the safety tools that we want to use, I personally like lines and veils and X, N and Os generally as I find them the quickest way to resolve and protect from uncomfortable situations but open to other tools. If you join in later, you can fill in your lines and veils as well
