About the adventure
Welcome to Elturel, a city once ruled by a vampires undead army. But then the Companion appeared in the sky over the city. A godly orb of sunlight. It burnt out the undead, and now constantly basks the city in sunlight. Our players arrive in the city the same day as a diplomatic envoy from Baldur's Gate. During this time the party was hired to deal with rumors about the cult of the dragon. Evil Tiamat worshippers up to no good. Little do they know about the chaos and destruction Elturel will soon face. Which will lead them on a path of epic adventure. In the first layer of hell. This campaign will start in Elturel of the forgotten realms setting. Players will travel the region to Baldur's Gate, Candle Keep, and Avernus the first layer of hell. This is a custom version with a new start and other new and interesting adventures along the way. No knowledge of anything is necessary. This is for players who want a gritty high fantasy campaign with epic combat, possible character death, and laughs to go along. Not a romance adventure. Best example, hell boy meets mad max. 📅 Campaign Detail: 🎲 The first session 0 game is free and will only involve character creation, lines and veils, and setting up the parties backstory for the adventure. This is a 3-13 campaign. Using new D&D rules and homebrew. 🎲 A unique and immersive experience that makes your characters feel apart of the world. With epic battles, comedy, and loreful immersion. The game will be custom tailored to the players, no mater what module I am running. 🎲 Foundry VTT on the forge. Nothing needed to download. All browser based server. 🎲 Voice acting, you never experienced a goblin or hag until you played my games. 🎲Voicemod, for versatile voices. Feel like your talking to a fire breathing dragon, colossal giants, and a mindflayer telepathically. 🎲 Official module with added custom maps and bonus content, with dynamic lighting. 🎲 Syrinscape and other apps for music, listening to your sword strike, and hear you fireball explode. $10 dollar discount on your first 2 games.

Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Party is currently level 7 and has Berserker barbarian, gloomstalker ranger, and fey warlock. They have just arrived into Avernus, the first layer of hell. Currently trying to find why Elturel was sent to hell and how to return the city back to Faerun. Send me a message on here and I can send you a discored link to discuss character ideas. We make characters using the forge with foundry vtt. Everything is provided by me during the session. You just need to log into the session and use the character creator.

Gameplay details
A typical session will involve everyone logging into discord then fantasy grounds. We will then recap the previous session. Each session will have a equal amount of exploration, roleplay, and combat. In session 0, we will discuss our limits/preferences and how we will express them. I enjoy doing voices for my npcs, to breathe life into them. I enjoy making things challenging. I want to get the adrenaline pumping. So character death can happen. I do not pull punches and let the dice fall where they may. Knowing when to run is one skill an adventurer must posses. Or knowing when not to pick a fight, instead use stealth or wits. While I generally stick to RAW, I'm a big fan of the rule of cool when it's appropriate. Your character can die in my game, but if they die to save another player. That sacrifice justifies a check passes. 📅 House rules: 🎲 A custom inspiration system where you earn points for good roleplay, doing a recap, having a great idea, or just making me laugh. Then spend the points to mitigate dice rolls in different ways. 🎲 Custom crafting rules from the Armorers Handbook homebrew. Add mods to your weapons and armor. I try to make sure everyone gets a moment to shine and interact with things. Nothing makes me feel better, when a person breaks out of their shell. Feeling comfortable expressing their character. The game will be every Wednesday evening. And go from levels 3 - 13. Running the start at 3 because that is where the fun begins.

How will character creation work
Once you sign up for a game, I will send you a discord server invite. You can chat with the other players, and begin working on a character concept to bring your PC into the group. Character Creation will be completed during session 0 or before your first session. 🎲 Standard array or point buy. 🎲 2024 backgrounds which come with a feat. 🎲 Bonus heritage hp at level one. 5 for humans. 4 for all other races. Custom inspiration system. I can have your character prepared in advance if need be. Before your first session. Otherwise I can provide a premade character.
