About the adventure
Elturel has fallen victim to the blood war in the nine hells and has been dragged down to the inferno. Why it has fallen and who is responsible is for you to discover. In levels 1-4, you discover the news and figure out how to get to the once holy city. Then traverse the ruins of the fallen city and navigate the wasteland of Avernus to find a way to save Elturel from eternal damnation. Tuesday game: ready to start at the beginning at level 1 in 2 hour sessions. Thursday game: join the campaign midway through in 3 hour sessions with a 15 minute break. See the party notes for the current party makeup.

About me
I've been playing 5e with other systems scattered in since 2020, and GM'd a homebrew game since 2022, completing the campaign after 2 1/2 years. I am married to another GM and raising a youngster who is as nerdy as we are.

Creating your character
Create your character in the campaign on D&D Beyond prior to the game session start time. All official material will be available, and UA, homebrew, or third party content may be chosen if approved. Both point buy and standard array are accepted, selecting average health when leveling up (the automatic option in D&D Beyond). Chat will be used on Discord to communicate with other party members prior to the game start as well as in between sessions. Additional players may join in future sessions after the campaign begins. Tuesday game: create level 1 character prior to campaign start. Thursday game: create level 6 character to join already existing party.
Current party: tiefling bard and reborn warlock. They also have tamed a nightmare.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Free accounts or higher on Discord and D&D Beyond will be needed. Links to join the campaign will be sent out upon signup. Discord will be used for private text chat, as well as for voice and optional video during the game. D&D Beyond will be used for character sheets, dice rolls, and maps.
What Jessica brings to the table
- Rule of cool always is #1 at my table! - I voice characters as much as possible and highly encourage role-play. - Atmospheric music will be used at thematic moments.
Homebrew rules
Potions for yourself are a free action, feeding a potion to another is a bonus action, but choosing to use a full action on a potion guarantees the full effect.

How Jessica creates a safe table
Lines and veils Google document will be linked on Discord, X card during game can be either verbal or in chat as the player's choice if at any time something is making any player uncomfortable, and I will be watching the video chat to stop and handle ASAP.
