About the adventure
How would you like to spend your Wednesdays....in hell!? Descent into Avernus, a dark and twisted adventure that takes the party to hell itself. Lots of twists, turns, deals and journeying across the hellscape in infernal war machines! Mad Max meets D&D fantasy in Avernus! Our journey begins in the holy city of Elturel, a city steeped in both holy light and shadowy intrigue. Hired as freelance agents for the Flaming Fist of Baldur's Gate, our adventurers find themselves draped in cloaks of secrecy, tasked with peeling back the layers of a perplexing enigma: the disappearance of Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate: Ulder Ravenguard. Amidst the vibrant festivities of the Festival of Spring Dawn, Elturel harbours a malevolent undercurrent, a sinister presence lurking just beneath its serene façade. Can our band of daring heroes untangle the threads of mystery before the darkness consumes them all? The stage is set, the curtain drawn, and the fate of Elturel hangs in the balance. Join me and a very welcoming and inclusive table of players, in this adventure of espionage, dark pacts, deals with devils, a city in despair and array harrowing choices to be made. This is my take on the famous Descent into Avernus campaign! Here's what to expect: 🔥 A dark, gritty yet also humorous campaign, with some of my own spicy homebrew twists! It starts with the party unravelling the mystery of what's going on behind the scenes at Elturel, only to find themselves caught in the chaos of the Descent the fiery hell of Avernus itself! 🔥 Characters start at level 4 and end at level 13. Have a few ideas for back up characters in mind. This will be a campaign full of trying and gritty encounters! (We are currently at level 4). 🔥 There will be plenty of chances for role play in the hellscape! Avernus is grim and unrelenting. The party will encounter all sorts of compelling NPCs, opportunities to make decisions on devilishly difficult deals, and do whatever it takes to survive in hell! 🔥 I am an amateur voice actor and improv performer. I will strive to provide engaging NPCs with their own unique personalities, voices and motivations. 🔥 Through Foundry VTT, you will experience immersive playlists, sound effects, art and effects. These, a long with compelling narration, will transport you fully into the fire and brimstone! 🔥 Join me and your fellow players on an epic adventure to save a city doomed to hell. Reserve your spot today!
🔥This is a long term campaign starting at level 4 and finishing at level 13. We are currently at level 4. 🔥New player friendly! Myself and your fellow players are more than happy to help people new to DND.

What I provide
🎲 NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY! If this is your first ever game of DND, then don't fret! I love helping new players discover this wonderful hobby. 🎲 This campaign will have dark themes. If there any lines or triggers that you have, then please let me know so that I can adjust things accordingly. 🎲 We will use Foundry VTT to play the actual game, DNDBeyond for character creation and Discord for voice chat (video is optional). 🎲 I like lots of role play in my TTRPGS, both as a GM and a player. There will also of course be plenty chances for combat, exploration and a few puzzles. 🎲 This campaign will have its challenges. The battles will be crunchy and challenging. Character death is a real possibility in this campaign. Have ideas for back up characters in mind. 🎲 I like to do voices and really get into character. For players, it's up to you how much you want to get into it. There's no pressure at all to be on the Critical Roll level! But if you want to, by all means bring it on! 🎲 Helpful discussions at the table are encouraged. However, overt-metagaming and telling other people how to play their characters and the DM how to run the game will not be tolerated. 🎲 There will be a ten minute break half-way through sessions for bathroom and snack breaks.
Gameplay details
- We will have a small 'session 0' one-on-one type chat by message or on a discord call before the game starts to talk about the game. We will cover any lines, veils and triggers you may have, your expectations of the game as well as mine, and to see if it's the right campaign for you. - My tables are inclusive and welcoming spaces for all. Any racism, homophobia, transphobia or general bigoted behaviour will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work
Please make a level 4 character and add it to the campaign. I have access to lots of materials on DNDBeyond if you need access to them. Players currently have access to legacy 2014 materials and the new 2024 PHB. You can use either of these sources (or in some cases, a combination of both) to create your character. Please set the character to 'Public' (this helps import them into Foundry). Use fixed HP levelling. In terms of species, classes, I am quite loose and play something you think would be cool. Just try and a.) Pick something that you think would fit this campaign b.) If you do choose one of the more out there species / classes (like something homebrew), then please run it by me first :-) Standard array or point buy for stats (no rolling for stats please). Starting equipment or equivalent gold for your level (just let me know what you buy). Feats and multiclassing are allowed (no free feat at level 1 - sorry!) If you need any help with this, then please do not hesitate to ask
