Portals & Paupers - Planescape
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
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?"
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Sandbox / Open World
In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.
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.
