Portals & Paupers - Planescape
A group of teens from the darkest ward in the City of Doors find a map to the vault of the greatest mage who ever lived, but who else might want it?
About the adventure
Claw your way up from the muck of the Hive ward on Sigil, where every coin is blood-earned and every ally is a gamble. A gritty D&D adventure of street smarts, planar heists, and the raw thrill of rising from nothing. Think Oliver Twist meets Peaky Blinders—with portals to Hell or Heaven. Ready to roll?"

Bh3lliom is by far the most deserving to be called a professional DM. His games are entire productions that use Foundry to its maximum potential both visually and with flawless music and sound effects. He's not only an expert at using the software but he's also patient in teaching new players how to use it and he goes the extra mile to make sure his games can run without it in case of technical issues. He encourages creativity with characters and gives players the opportunity to improvise off him by knowing them well and more importantly his players. As an overseas DM it means that games are in the morning in the USA but personally, I've found myself waking up much earlier than needed because I'm so excited to play his games
Bh3llium is a wonderful DM and playing in his games are a highlight of my week. Some of his "great DM" qualities are ones that I've encountered in other professional DMs I've played with. He's a wonderful story-teller and brings the characters we meet on our journey alive. He is funny and enjoys his players. He makes space for our creativity and meets it with creativity of his own, so that our sessions very often spiral up to places we didn't know we could reach. He helps us to develop well-rounded characters and then not only works our stories into his story, but often lets our stories drive the collective story, but in a way that everyone feels engage and invested. And his space always feels safe no matter who you are. All of this is, again, wonderful But what truly sets him apart is the Planescape multiverse, his grasp of its many details, and his ability to immerse his adventuring parties in this rich, seemingly limitless setting. Most Dnd adventures take place on one of the many planes/worlds (Faerun, the Underdark, Avernus,...) in the Planescape multiverse. Planescape incorporates each of these worlds in all of their detail along with literally a hundred or so other worlds into a giant multiverse, seemingly spinning around the city of Sigil, and when you play in this Planescape setting, you can go all of these places. What truly makes Bh3llium unique is his thorough and detailed grasp of the Planescape, so that he can weave multiple stories that are playing simultaneously across this vast setting, hopping in and out of worlds for brief or extended visits. Wherever your group wants to go in their session (and there are no railroads in his games), he knows where that is, everything you will find there, the multiple ways you might get there, and you will always find a fun and challenging adventure in your travels once you've arrived. It's taken him decades to build this knowledge base, so there are few if any who could replicate it, and the level of freedom and engagement that he can offer in a game is the fruit of all of his work leading to your adventuring party's now. If you can play with Bh3llium, you should. It's wonderful
Bh3lliom has proven himself to be an incredible DM. He is very good at creating an immersive setting and mood, interesting characters, and integrating characters backstories. He is also willing and able to respond to the mood of the players/table and shift or mold his plans to fit their needs.
Dan started off with great, in-depth session zero, and a Foundry VTT tutorial. I'm a complete newbie to Foundry and he made it really easy. In our first game session, he kept the story moving, was very engaging with the players, and was super helpful to the newbies. 10 out of 10! An update. We just finished our first campaign storyline and it was amazing. He wove character elements seamlessly into his story, and even with player absences was able to adjust the adventure on the fly and lead us to an epic conclusion. Highly recommend.
Bh3l/Dan is an excellent DM! Not only does he love Planescape, he is patient with new players, generous with his rewards, and weaves a great tale for your character and the campaign as a whole. I particularly like his addition of "stars and wishes" to the end of each session; where players get to call out specific moments they liked (stars), and things they'd like to see happen in the future (wishes). Just a stellar element that keeps the DM in tune with the players' mindset as things move forward. His world-building skills are epic, too!
