About the adventure

āš”ļø HELL AWAITS āš”ļø Baldur’s Gate teeters on the edge of damnation. The city’s corruption festers, but worse yet, the first layer of the Nine Hells is calling. As the holy city of Elturel vanishes into the void, Baldur’s Gate stands next in line for destruction. Infernal bargains, demonic whispers, and the weight of mortal sin pull you deeper into Avernus. Every choice carries a cost—and every soul has its price. Will you find redemption in the fire and fury, or will you fall? āš”ļø THE DEPLOYMENT āš”ļø šŸ›”ļø Starting Level: 1 (Campaign runs to approx. Level 13). šŸ“œ System: D&D šŸ“š Character Options: All official D&D Beyond sourcebooks allowed. 🧪 Homebrew: Case-by-case basis (Let’s talk!). 🩸 Tone: Dark intrigue, infernal corruption, and high-stakes heroics. āš”ļø THE COMMITMENT āš”ļø Session 0: Free (Character Creation & Safety Check). Session 1: $6 Introductory "Test the Waters" Session. Session 2+: $15 per session thereafter. Steel your resolve. Once you cross into the Hells, there is no turning back.

About me

Anya | Lead Storyteller at AMJR-GAMES šŸ‘‹ Over 130 Sessions Hosted | 5.0 Rating I don’t just GM; I live and breathe the story. In my first year behind the screen, I’ve hosted over 130 sessions, proving that obsession beats "casual" play every time. I’m an Avernus specialist with over 85 sessions in the Nine Hells. I’m currently guiding my 5th and 6th groups through the module, so I know every devilish twist by heart—my eyes are always on your characters, not a rulebook. When I’m not behind the GM screen, you’ll find me on Xbox playing Baldur’s Gate 3, Halo, or Overwatch—or maybe just relaxing in Stardew Valley. I’m a total techhead who keeps my life on Google so I can hop between Linux distros for fun, and I bring that same streamlined, lag-free energy to my games. I’ve built a seamless ecosystem of Google Meet hubs and Lore Wikis so the tech stays invisible and the "Rule of Cool" stays front and center. After 45 sessions across my legacy campaigns in Nymera, I’ve launched my newest project: The Isle of Hesperos. This is a true, persistent sandbox where your choices leave a permanent mark on the world map. I’m not your adversary; I’m the narrator cheering you on—much like I cheer on the Edmonton Oilers (loyalty matters, even in a rough season!). I prioritise fast, direct communication.

āœ… Session 0: We will align on expectations, tone, and specific content "Lines and Veils." Everyone starts on the same page before the first roll is made. āøļø Breaks: A scheduled break is included every session. Anyone can call for an additional break at any time—no questions asked. To maintain a focused and respectful group dynamic: āŒ No PvP: Characters are expected to work together; internal party combat is not permitted. āŒ No Romance: Both PC-to-PC and PC-to-NPC romance are off-limits. We keep the focus on the odyssey and the mysteries of the Isle. šŸ›”ļø Digital Safety: We utilise digital safety tools via Discord and D&D Beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable throughout the session.
