About the adventure
Descent into Avernus (we're going to start at level 4 and skip a lot of Baldur's Gate) is a fun an often chaotic adventure with many different groups trying to influence the party. While not closely related this campaign did come out along side the announcement that BG3 was being made. The theme here is fiends you will find yourselves mixed up in the Blood Wars an unending battle between Devils and Demons that has raged for millions of years. The campaign is filled with choices that don't always have an obvious right answer the consequences of which might not even effect your character but you still have to make a choice. You won't have to fight in every encounter but when you do fight you will want to be tactical as you can be facing many enemies hardened by centuries of war.

About me
Hi, I'm Brenton (he/him). I've been GM-ing D&D5e since 2016 and started professionally GM-ing in 2021. I've run intro sessions for over 200 new players getting into their first ttrpg. After venturing out from my dining table at home I have run online, in convention halls, and at the private venue I run with my partner. While I have played a good selection of ttrpg's I keep coming back to 5e it's just the right level of crunch for me.

Creating your character
Bring a long a level 1 character. I'm running '24 monsters but I won't stop you running a '14 character if that is your preference. I encourage standard array for longer campaigns but you can go with points buy if you like to min/max a little more. If everyone signs up early we can discuss who wants to play what on discord. I do like to start a campaign with a bit of warmup roleplay along the lines of how do all these characters know each other.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Being ready to jump on Discord is the most important thing for how we'll play. We will end up on Roll20 once things get serious for a bit more tactical combat but might not go that deep for the first session.
What Brenton brings to the table
If we are all playing together for the first time lets play with rules as written (with space to be flexible for rule of cool). Describing my style I find the tags provided a little hard to choose. I think I'm more "balanced" than things like "combat heavy" roleplay light". Having been professional DMing for a while I'm used to adjusting to my table's play style as we go. If you like to fight stuff we will do combat, if you like to find creative solutions to problems I like to reward that, if you like talking to NPCs I have run a game with a whole separate sheet that was tracking who was added to the party's entourage because they just kept adopting and convincing people (and things) to join them. Sorry I don't do voices.

How Brenton creates a safe table
If anything goes too far put an X in the chat and we instantly move to the next scene. If you aren't familiar with the "x card" safety tool let me know and we can talk about it before we start. With this adventure I'm not expecting any problems but it is a big campaign with a lot of different stuff going on so if you have any lines and vales please let me know and if you don't know what that means please feel free to ask. The theme of this campaign is going to hell and there are a lot of tortured souls and heavy themes. I'm ticking a lot in the content warnings, that's not a promise there is just a lot that *might* happen. Before getting into the content warnings I think I would just put out there that PC and NPC deaths are possibilities. At my table pets are only in danger if you send them into combat or risky situations.
