About the adventure
Inspired by Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, Inferno - Dante's Guide to Hell follows the story of Lost Ones who were abruptly pulled from the mortal world and find themselves in a terrifying lost forest. From there, the lost ones and their guide set off to follow the path of Dante and Virgil through the rings of hell, holding onto dwindling hope as they get closer and closer to the Emperor of the Kingdom Dolorous himself, Lucifero. The players begin their journey not knowing who they are or why they in Hell though they wear infernal emblems representing their sins. As they travel through the rings of hell they will learn and develop their backstory from the mortal world while fighting through their individual ring of punishment. Overcome and grow in power or decay into a husk and remain for all time. This is a linear adventure that focuses on combat, storytelling, and roleplaying. Players seeking an open world sandbox adventure should look elsewhere. Inferno - Dante's Guide to Hell by Acheron Games is a critically Tabletop Role Playing Game utilizing 5th edition rules. https://acheronstore.com/inferno/

About me
Introduced to Dungeons and Dragons in the mid 1980s, I’ve been a tabletop roleplaying enthusiast since 1st edition AD&D. I’ve been a Game Master since 5th edition’s release and have run hundreds of in-person and online sessions since. Additionally, I represent roleplaying game publishers at conventions such as GenCon, Origins, and Pax Unplugged where I introduce game systems and settings for new and experienced players to explore. For in-person games, I enjoy crafting epic tabletop terrain to place in front of my players and gameplay accessories such as wooden dice trays and GM Screens to aid in the gameplay. Being a fan of Fantasy and Science Fiction storytelling, Board Games, Music and Media, and Nerd Culture, I blend my interests into my social life, hobbies and profession.
