About the adventure
When the assassin’s blade strikes the heart of Baldur’s Gate’s ruling council, the city ignites. Guilds feud in the streets, cults stir in the catacombs, and the Watch is powerless to stem the tide. In Blades of Baldur’s Gate, you begin as ordinary citizens — guards, spies, mercenaries, or reformers — drawn into a web of political corruption, divine legacy, and urban warfare. From investigating a single murder in the alleys of the Lower City, you rise to shape the destiny of the entire metropolis. The campaign draws from Murder in Baldur’s Gate, The Speaker in Dreams, and City of Peril , weaving them into a seamless noir epic of conspiracies, betrayals, and dark ambition. The focus is on player-driven politics, deep moral choices, and narrative intrigue — combat is tactical but rarely clean. You’ll navigate factions, faiths, and power struggles — the Flaming Fist, the Thieves’ Guild, the Cult of the Dead Three, and nobles who would see the city burn before they share power. In Baldur’s Gate, every friend has a price. Every secret draws blood. Expect a grounded, cinematic campaign that rewards cunning, empathy, and defiance in equal measure.

About me
Hello everyone! Greetings from Greece! I've been delving into the world of roleplaying games for over 15 years now, with around 10 years of experience as a Game Master. While my heart remains true to the timeless allure of DnD 3.5 edition, I've also developed a fondness for running Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, and I'm always eager to explore new systems. My passion lies in fostering immersive roleplay, orchestrating epic battles, and crafting captivating adventures that leave players on the edge of their seats. As a business owner, I cherish the flexibility of my schedule, allowing me to delve into professional gameplay experiences for the sheer joy of it, while seeking players who are equally devoted to character development and the intricate tales that unfold. Beyond the gaming realm, I find solace in horseback riding, and I've also found myself drawn to the world of arts, wearing the hats of both a singer and an occasional actor. Initially, my journey into acting was motivated by a desire to enhance my skills as a Dungeon Master. However, my profound love for the arts, including playing the piano and professional singing, has led me to embrace the world of theater, where I've actively participated in numerous productions. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and weaving unforgettable stories together!
