About the adventure
The afterlife is broken. Marsa’al, the Illithilich, has ascended to godhood, seizing the divine mantle of Death itself. Now, souls no longer pass into the afterlife. The undead no longer hunger. They simply endure, unshackled from mortality. The Nine Hells are in civil war, torn between those who would serve their new god and those who would rather see him unmade. The Shadowfell grows stronger by the day, devouring the Material Plane, with Ravessa Nyxara ruling from The Rift, a dark empire on the edge of reality itself. The gods are silent. Hope is fleeting. And yet, there is still one chance. The party must descend into the Hells, navigating a realm teetering on the brink of war, destruction, and betrayal. If they survive, they must face the horrors of Shadow Ezra, a warped mirror of the world they once knew. Their only hope is to destroy the Throne of Unmaking, the seat of Marsa’al’s power, before he cements his dominion over every soul in existence. This is a high-stakes, roleplay-driven campaign blending dark fantasy, cosmic horror, and tactical combat. Expect grueling battles, difficult moral choices, and an evolving world shaped by your actions. Whether you’re here to save reality, seize power for yourself, or carve out a new fate among gods and devils, your legend begins now. Who is this game for? This game is for players who enjoy deep roleplay, high-powered combat, and a player-driven story with real consequences. If you like dark fantasy settings, intricate plots, and brutal, strategic encounters, this is the campaign for you. Both returning and new players are welcome—whether you’re continuing a hero’s story or forging a new one. Will you break the Tyrant God’s reign—or become something even worse?

About me
I'm currently a House DM at The Kobold Lounge, where I run 3 homebrew campaigns for adults, as well as an introductory game for kids and another for teens. I started with a weekly game at my house. Shortly after I learned to play, I had to move. To keep up with my new hobby, I found and joined ahome game that was posted online. It was a terrible experience. Nobody at the table was having fun except for the DM, who delighted in playing against his party. His players looked and sounded bored, almost miserable; I never went back. Instead, I decided to start my own game with one goal: to make sure everyone has fun! -- If money is an obstacle, please DM me. I care more about us having fun than making money. I put a lot of effort into becoming the DM I am today, I make immersive, creative content that literally over a hundred players have loved & that's why I'm here. I'd like to make a living doing this, but I care about my players & that's never going to change.--- I started running my first homebrew D&D campaign in 2016. Since then I've engaged in collaborative storytelling with a ton of amazing players. I enjoy being a Sandbox DM, and I love players with unique ideas they want to try. My tables, physical and virtual, are the place to try out that crazy character idea or homebrewed subclass. I want to DM on StartPlaying to reach a wide player base, bring people together to have a blast, and provide opportunities for players everywhere to participate in my games.
