The plot of a murdered deity finally comes to fruition; Bhaal - god of assassins will live again, and in the city that thwarted his rebirth - three prominent figures unwittingly compete to herald his return. Can you prevent the city from tearing itself apart as Bhaal heralds his return? Who will rise above the rest as the dust settles? Does a heraldic fate befall Baldur's Gate and plunge the city into further strife?!
Hello everyone! We are actively recruiting for Session 0, with plans to begin November 29th with at least 3 players! Goals For Session 0: Character Creation review - We'll go through the Character Creation Steps together; I know some folks will go full excitement and prepped ahead of time, but this is just a good chance to make sure everyone has their choices solidified (and it's a chance to change anything up before we begin gameplay). Safety Talk - I'll explain the uses and functions of our Safety Cards,Additionally, we can discuss Lines & Veils, Hard Limits, and anything else we want to bring up to keep everyone safe at the table! Establish the Party - Confirm party roles, starting equipment, etc. - Confirm and discuss connections between characters (This is a fun exercise I that I picked up in Monster of the Week, and it's a good chance to get some preemptive character relations started) Roll some dice! We'll get the dice rolling and characters in use with any remaining time!!!

How to prepare
Players will need an account (free or paid, but free is sufficient) on: - Roll20.net for maps. -Discord, to communicate with the other players and the GMs before and after the session; as well as for Voice (Video is optional) - A D&D Beyond Account for your Character Sheets! - Please install the Beyond20 Extension! Reading through the basic knowledge of D&D 5e and your character's abilities and features is highly recommended for optimized play time.
What I provide
- Battlemaps, bad puns, and an array of sound effects. - 16 years of DM'ing experience! - Everything needed to make playing the game a breeze, and make your characters awesome. - I will have all sourcebooks ready to reference; and all prepared characters will have functional sheets in roll20 (with click-macro rolls enabled on the sheet)
Gameplay details
This adventure will be played via Roll20, with Discord for Voice. - A Murder in Baldur's Gate has light horror themes and includes some survival elements. You can expect fantasy horror, paranoia, isolation, & secrets. Due to these elements, I will be including a Safety and Consent Checklist covering these elements that may be included as appropriate from the module. These elements may be adapted based on safety concerns. Also note, while this is not a specifically adult themed game, players should be able to handle themes in mature ways. Additionally, I will have Safety Card Tokens available to anonymously Drop on the Map at any point. If a player is uncomfortable with the content for any reason (including phobias, PTSD, and/or many more), Drag and Drop these into the map at any time for a safety pause.
