About the adventure
A Recurring Celestial Arena One-Shot Series Without warning, a beam of radiant light tears you from your world. One moment you are in battle, at sea, in a tavern, or standing atop a throne, the next, you awaken in a colossal floating arena suspended in a sea of endless sky. Angelic statues loom overhead. Golden chains hum with divine energy. A voice echoes across the coliseum: “Prove your worth.” Welcome to The God's Gauntlet is a recurring celestial tournament where mortals from across the planes are summoned to compete in divine trials for glory, power, and the chance at something greater. Each session is a complete, high-intensity arena event. You and your fellow champions will face escalating encounters chosen by celestial arbiters: undead hordes, giant warbands, fiendish champions, monstrous titans, planar anomalies, and far worse. The battlefield itself may shift, fracture, or blaze with holy energy as the heavens test your strength, strategy, and resolve. But survival is only the beginning. Victorious champions earn Divine Favor, which can be spent to enhance gear, gain temporary boons, unlock powerful abilities, or secure rare magical rewards. Those who survive may choose to return in future sessions, stronger and marked by celestial sigils unseen by mortal eyes. Time flows differently within the Circuit. When you return home, mere moments may have passed — or perhaps it all feels like a dream. Until the light finds you again. This is not a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony. It is an ongoing league. Champions rise. Champions fall. Some are resurrected. Some are claimed. The celestials speak of ascension and virtue… but whispers suggest the tournament serves a greater purpose. The heavens are watching — not just who wins, but how. Will you fight with honor? With cruelty? With sacrifice?

About me
Hello all, I am McClain, or Fox Ninja. I am a huge nerd and have been DMing for a few years with Table top RPG. I have been doing Literate RP for many years and am super creative with scenes. I started with my TTRPG on Warhammer 40K. I personally love Rogue Trader, then I moved to Pokemon Tabletop Adventures. I always wanted to do D&D but the people around me at the time were big on Warhammer and I fell in love with the tabletop of it. Now that Warhammer 40K is easily one of the most expensive set of books, I have moved to D&D 5e and am happy with it. I use Roll 20, but am learning Foundry to allow the use of DnD Beyond, though if you are smart you can use DnD Beyond with Roll 20
