About the adventure
The Path to Redemption is Paved with Hellfire. Baldur’s Gate, a city on the edge of madness, faces an uncertain future. Crime festers in its streets, corruption rules its leaders, and a sinister shadow looms over its people. Whispers of damnation spread like wildfire—an ancient evil threatens not only the city but the very fabric of reality itself. The tale begins with Baldur's Gate plunged into turmoil, but the true threat lies far beyond its walls. In Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, the remnants of a celestial war rage on. It is a place of infernal contracts, eternal torment, and terrible power. Once an angel of righteousness, Zariel, ruler of Avernus, has fallen and now commands legions of devils. Your party will delve into a story of heroism and temptation, facing fiendish enemies, navigating a realm consumed by fire and ash, and making choices that could save or condemn their souls. Will you forge alliances with devils, defy their schemes, or succumb to the seductive lure of power? Your adventure begins at the gates of Baldur’s Gate, but the path leads far deeper. Can you withstand the fires of Hell and emerge victorious—or will you be consumed by the darkness? Hell awaits. Will you answer the call?

About me
Hi, my name is Kan, and I love writing, reading and playing fantasy games. I have over ten years of experience playing roleplaying games and have been an active member in the D&D community for five years now. I study Creative Writing and English Literature at the University of Leeds in the UK and I'm the president of the DiceSoc (TTRPG Society) where we run weekly games for our members to enjoy. I consider myself very patient, flexible and accommodating to both new and experienced players, and love teaching the world of D&D. Aside from being a DM, I am a lover of writing and poetry, which I include in games as my way to freshen up puzzles and lore.

Creating your character
Character creation will be handled in session 0, but here is the breakdown of how I manage your soon-to-be heroes (or villains!) of your next campaign. Roll For Stats— With A Twist Roll two sets of stats using the command 4d6kh3ro1, ignoring any 1s. Choose either set to assign to your abilities. Some players prefer to roll first and let the stats determine their race and class. Customise your Origin I will never force you to restrict your character's abilities by your racial ability scores. You can choose via Tasha's ruling to distribute three scores with +1 or two scores, one with +2 and another +1. Allowed Content All official content is permitted, if I don't own the content that you wish to use, all I ask is that you share with me what features you're using so that I can familiarise myself with it. Homebrew is only allowed in homebrew games and only if the entire party reach a consensus on its incorporation. This includes my own homebrew optional rules and content. You Take Starting Gold And Equipment. This is to help the characters at the beginning. I make every class start with gold equal to 5d4*5 (a maximum of 100 extra, a minimum of 20 extra) in addition to the starting equipment granted by their class. You're Better Than Average Roll for HP but use your average as a base line. If you roll below the average for your class, you take average. If not, good for you!
