Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Hell is home, and it's time to go back. πŸ”΄ This campaign focuses on a group of adventurers who, for their own reasons, are compelled to return to Hell. πŸ”΄ For each of you, Hell is home, and you've been away for years. πŸ”΄ The core of the campaign is finding the way there; getting back to Hell isn't as easy as it was when you left. You'll have to find your way there through dangerous dungeons and by solving ancient puzzles to unlock the way. πŸ”΄ Level up, find powerful magic items, and gain power of your own as you look for a way home. πŸ”΄ Understand: Hell doesn't want you to return, and its earth-bound servants will do whatever it takes to stop you from reaching it. But why? Hellhome is a roleplay-first 5e campaign focused on the party and the challenges they'll face getting home. Combat plays an important role, and you'll be challenged regularly in that way, but we'll emphasize roleplay above it. Learning about each other, and the NPCs that become important in your journey, is core to the Hellhome experience. Hell is calling. Are you ready to go home? ───── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ────────── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ────────── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ───── I'll let some of my players tell you what you can expect at my tables! 🀩 "Bryan is fantastic, I've been a player in one of his groups for the better part of a year now and both the quality of game thats been provided and the environment which he has cultivated are beyond reproach." - Zac 🀩 "Bryan is great at adjusting to player choices and is excellent at improvisation. [...] This the most I've been invested in a character in a long time." - Cece 🀩 "His combats are fun, and he is very engaging when describing what happens within the game. It's very easy to tell he puts a lot of effort into his games, and is incredibly attentive to his players wants and needs. I cannot recommend his games enough." - Trey 🀩 "He is amazing! I've been playing D&D for 18 years and he's one of the the best GMs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. Encourages player creativity and is great for beginner and veterans of the game. He help reignite my passion for the game, where even my own players noticed a difference in my GMing." - Alexander

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

β€œRule 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.

Roleplay Heavy

β€œRoleplay 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.
