About the adventure
The city of Elturel has fallen, dragged screaming into the infernal depths. The gates of Avernus stand open, waiting to devour the desperate, the damned, and the doomed. I warn you, the journey upon which you are about to embark is long and perilous. Once you have crossed the threshold of the Eternal Gate, you may no longer come back. You must abandon all hope, and hope itself will leave you, falling through your fingers, step by step, no matter what you do. Where we are going, each decision will be harder than the last, each Circle will be tighter and increasingly hostile, and every step deeper into the abyss will strip away another illusion. The only thing decreasing will be hope, hope to return to the light. Some of you seek redemption. Others crave power. Most will not return... And if you do, what will Hell have taken from you before you escape? What You Will Do: - Journey through Avernus reimagined as Dante’s Inferno, where each layer is a trial of sin and survival. - Face moral dilemmas, divine judgment, and impossible choices that will define your soul. - Battle devils, fallen angels, and lost legends who rule the Circles of Hell. - Unravel the true nature of Hell’s war and your place within it. - Decide: Will you escape, be consumed, or carve out a throne of your own? This is Descent into Avernus as you’ve never seen it before; a grim, mythic odyssey through torment and fate. A journey to battle and face your darkest self. Fear not, I am not here to judge you... but can you say the same of yourself?

About me
Hey friend! I’m so glad you’re here and ready to jump into some epic adventures with me. For the longest time, I wanted to play TTRPGs but couldn’t find the chance. When I finally got to sit at a table, I fell in love instantly—not just with playing, but with crafting these wild, collaborative stories that take us somewhere unforgettable. Now, after over a decade of playing and GMing, my passion has only deepened. My games are all about fun, excitement, and making sure everyone feels welcome. They are always BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent-friendly, and I’m all about creating a safe and encouraging space for everyone. If you’re ready for thrilling adventures, heartfelt moments, and a chance to unleash your imagination, let’s roll some dice and make magic happen. ✨ New to StartPlaying Games?

Creating your character
Character creation will take place in Session 0 using D&D Beyond, with links provided upon signup. Once finalized, characters will be imported into Foundry VTT for streamlined play. We'll discuss playstyles, party synergy, and backstories to weave your characters into the world’s themes of sin, redemption, and survival. Players are welcome to bring pre-made characters or create them during the session. Full character guidelines, including starting level, stat generation, and allowed books, will be available in the Discord after joining!

What OmnomGM brings to the table
I run this campaign using Foundry VTT with custom maps, dynamic lighting, immersive tokens, and automation for seamless play. Expect a narrative-driven experience blending intense tactical combat, high-stakes choices, and deep roleplay. I use ambient music, scene-setting narration, and distinct character voices to bring Hell to life. I follow Rules as Written, but when the moment demands cinematic flair, I embrace the Rule of Cool—especially in a place where legendary deeds can shape fate itself.

How OmnomGM creates a safe table
Session 0 will cover setting expectations, character creation, and personalizing backstory ties to the campaign’s themes of sin, judgment, and redemption. We’ll also discuss Lines and Veils, player comfort levels, and tone adjustments to ensure an immersive but respectful experience. I use X, N, and O cards digitally through the VTT, and an open-door policy for check-ins. If anything becomes uncomfortable during or after the session, players can message me privately for adjustments. No themes of explicit abuse, sexual violence, or cruelty to children will be included. This is a dark and intense story, but the goal is to create a meaningful, engaging, and safe experience for everyone.
