About the adventure
As the Hellfire Crisis dawns and spreads its turmoil throughout Avistan, the nation of Isger is being shaken up by the rebel organization the Hellbreakers League, which seeks to break Isger free of its oppressor and patron nation of infernal Cheliax. Player characters will carry out daring missions against Chelaxian strongholds, face off with the deadly Hellknights, and strike out against the forces of Hell itself! On the way, they’ll run into dangerous enemies both new and old and uncover long-lost secrets powerful and ancient. Can the PCs stoke the fires of revolution and throw off the diabolic chains of Cheliax or will they be ground beneath the boot of oppression? Join the Hellbreakers and do your part! Welcome Folks! This campaign will begin with the Hellbreakers AP (Level 1-10) and will conclude with the Hell's Destiny AP (Level 11-20). Campaign Duration I'm predicting that this campaign in its entirety will take between 30-40 sessions to complete. Players must be able to commit to the game on a weekly basis for the duration of the campaign. Where on Golarion? Hellbreakers takes place across the country of Isger.

About me
Just an enjoyer of pretty much anything fantasy related. Avid fan of anime, survival horror games and TTRPGs of all flavors. I got my start with TTRPGs back in high school and have been hooked ever since. My GMing style puts strong focus on both combat and roleplay. I put a strong focus on making my games a safe space where folks of all backgrounds can roleplay and enjoy themselves. (Banner done by sarahwidiart: https://vgen.co/sarahwidiart)

Both the backstory and the mechanical portion of character creation will occur via discord in the days leading up to session 0.
