About the adventure
(D&D 2014 Ruleset) 😈 To Hell with the Devil A Level 30 One-Shot for Ex-Gods, Reality-Breakers, and the Bastards Who Want to Punch Hell Off the Map 🔥 Asmodeus won. He has the Ruby Rod, the full force of Nessus, and no remaining rivals. The gods are silent. The Nine Hells stand. The planes tremble. But you? You are what’s left when prophecy fails. You are divine detritus. Forgotten champions. Erased names with something still to say. You’ve broken fate before. Now it’s time to break the devil. ⚔️ The Mission • Invade Nessus, the throne-world at the bottom of Hell • Face Asmodeus (CR 35+, mythic and fully armed) in his final form • Survive collapsing hell-geometry, soul contracts, and a battlefield of burning law • Destroy the Ruby Rod—or rewrite reality using it • Decide what comes after Hell 🧠 Character Creation Rules (READ THIS) This is a Level 30 Mythic Game. You are final forms—built to bend the planes. 🧱 Levels • Total: 30 class levels • Max 20 in any one class • Multiclass freely • Point Buy for stats • You may trade levels for Feats or ASIs Ability Scores • Softcap = 25 • Choose 2 stats to reach a hardcap of 30 HP Use average HP for your extra levels, based on your main class 💎 Magic Items • 4 Legendary / Artifact • 3 Very Rare • 2 Rare • 3 Uncommon • As much common gear as you can carry • 8 attunement slots — you are no longer mortal ❌ Banned Items No exceptions: • Mask of the Dragon Queen / Dragon Masks • Ring of Three Wishes • Wand of Orcus (he already has it) • Deck of X (Many Things, Illusions, etc.) • Potion of Giant Size 🗡️ This One-Shot Is For You If: ✔ You minmax for flavor and fury ✔ You’ve ever built a character “just in case the gods show up” ✔ You want to kill Asmodeus at Level 30. On purpose. With style ✔ You want the boss fight where you’re the apocalyptic threat This is for players who crave myth-tier combat, rules-breaking mechanics, and cinematic finales that make the table go quiet. 📎 Logistics • Discord & D&D Beyond links will be sent after signup • WotC official content only (excluding CR/3rd-party), up through Spelljammer • Safety tools (X-card, vibe checks) in place. This is epic, not edgy 💀 Questions? Want to share a busted concept? Looking for balance feedback? DM me. TIP: Multiple seats can be reserved if you have more than one final-form idea to unleash. Bring your name. Bring your sins. Bring something unholy. Hell won’t survive this one. – DM Maximus ☠️

Sets the Mood
Voices
Visual Aid
after spending the last two years or so of trying to find a worth while game i finally found it with DM Maximus. He puts so much into his games. the VTT set ups are amazing, he creates these hubs where everything is condensed and concise and you don't have to spend alot of time trying to figure it out. His maps and backgrounds are on point. His choice of music really sets the mood and tone for the part of the plot you are in. He even includes cut scene videos. The effort he puts into setting the stage for the characters really shines through. Hes as invested into the PC's as the actual players. He weaves your back story in, he rewards creativity. Its just and all around enjoyable experience and i look forward to playing this and hopefully many other campaigns with him.
Fantastic time with DM Maximus! It took a bit of time to get things going technically at first but that is to be expected with such high-level (25) characters and a less-familiar platform. But once we got rolling, it was a blast. Very professional maps and music, fantastic voices, and a fun storyline to keep things moving forward. Maximus didn't bat an eye at our crazy OP builds and welcomed the challenge. Would definitely recommend, and look forward to playing with him again.
If you're looking for a high-tier high-level game where you're free to bring the craziest build imaginable and yet still be challenged, Maximus is absolutely the DM for you. Manages to balance things even around absurdly powerful builds, which is no small feat, and runs fun combats. That's not to say combat is all he's good at, he also made good use of character voices and the one-shot I played with him had some fun RP moments as well

What to expect
Preparing for the session
How to Prepare: 🎲 Build Your Character in D&D Beyond (you'll receive a campaign link upon signup with all shared content unlocked).

We use Discord for voice chat. A working microphone is required. No webcam needed. 🌐 No Downloads Required – Foundry VTT runs in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Opera recommended). No setup headaches—just click the link and you’re in. 📃 Bring a Backstory, or at least a Vibe – Even in a one-shot, knowing your character’s style, goal, or tragic flaw helps bring the drama. 🧷 Safety First – We use an X Card system, accessible anonymously during play. All players will have the link to our digital tool to pause or redirect scenes if needed. Come ready to throw down with devils in Hell. Bring your strongest builds, boldest ideas, and darkest dreams.
What DM Maximus brings to the table
I bring 8 years of DM experience—4 of those as a full-time professional—and a toolkit fine-tuned to deliver immersive, cinematic storytelling. 🔹 Foundry VTT, loaded with: Dynamic lighting, 3D dice, animated spell effects, and rich atmospheric music. Custom maps, hand-selected tokens, and visual FX to heighten combat and exploration. Full automation of D&D 5e mechanics to streamline gameplay and keep things moving fast. 🔹 D&D Beyond: You’ll get full access to all official 5e content up through Spelljammer, free via my campaign share. Build your character with ease—no paywall blocking your creativity. 🔹 Theatrical NPCs and story-driven encounters: I live inside the characters I play. Whether it’s a snarling demon general or a weeping priest, you’ll hear their pain, pride, and presence. 🔹 Flexible GMing with player-first focus: I follow the Rule of Cool when it enhances the game, and I always strive to be a fan of your character. I’d rather ask “how do we make this moment happen?” than say “your sheet doesn’t allow that.” 🔹 No downloads required: Foundry runs in your browser. Join the Discord, hop in with a working mic, and you’re good to go.

Safety
How DM Maximus creates a safe table
Once a player signs up, they’ll be sent a private link to join the campaign Discord server—this is where voice chat happens during games, announcements are posted, and you can connect with the group between sessions. A D&D Beyond campaign link will also be provided so you can access all officially published content up to Spelljammer, fully shared and unlocked. Safety tools are part of the table culture. I use a digital X-Card that can be activated anonymously during the game via the VTT, allowing any player to signal discomfort instantly and discreetly. We’ll also cover table rules and personal boundaries together in Session 0, which includes both discussion and gameplay. This table runs on respect, high-stakes storytelling, and shared badassery—no one should ever feel unsafe at the table. If something comes up mid- or post-session, I’m always available for check-ins and aftercare in private.
