About the adventure
Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of ambition and corruption. As you embark on your adventuring career at starting at LEVEL 2, get ready for an exhilarating journey. You'll be drawn into a plot of epic proportions that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood Wars! It's a perfect campaign for new players and veterans alike. This lightly home-brewed mod is designed to ensure that each play-through offers a unique and thrilling experience. The highway to Hell is paved in blood and the best of intentions. This campaign is a meat grinder with rich lore and diabolical plot twists that will take you from a frying pan into the literal hellfire! You start by fighting cultists and cutthroats, trying to unmask the sinister plot behind the vanished city of Elturel before you are thrust into the fray of warring demons & devils while navigating hags, fallen angels, demi-gods, and abyssal chickens. Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells? Rev the engine of your Infernal War Machines if you dare because Hell Has Come Home!

About me
My superpower is storytelling, and I'm passionate about collaborating with friends to build slightly homebrewed open-world games with a strong narrative through points. This isn't just a hobby for me, it's a love and a craft that I'm eager to share with like-minded players. I believe that RP moments should impact the story as much as any BBEG combat encounter; I am generous with inspiration tokens and loot drops, and I am a deadly opponent in combat when the moment calls for it. I lean heavily into the RULE-OF-COOL and encourage players to try wild new ideas as we let the dice tell the story. Some of my favorite things are watching my players find a new way to use an established spell or ability to solve a puzzel / survive a battle, working with players to integrate their backstory into the main quest, and seeing them survive the meat grinder on their way to leveling up and character growth. I'm not just looking for players, I'm looking to build a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for TTRPG storytelling. I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle, grow, laugh and roll through this brave new world together.

Creating your character
You will start at LEVEL 2 on this campaign. This will be worked out in free Session Zero that will happen via discord / Roll20 to review/ help you build your character sheet and dive into who your character is. Where are they from? What is the one thing they want more than anything? I will use this deep character knowledge to weave your PCs fate into the larger story.

What CJ Green brings to the table
The adventure on Roll20, all maps / NPC's for RP & combat. Rule of cool. Some homebred items that I custom make for each party / adventure. Feel free to bring your own artwork. You can expect combat music and some ambient music.
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion as a bonus action, feeding someone a potion is an action. Offering optional "Subtile rolls", The primary goal is to preserve mystery, prevent accidental metagaming, and maintain immersion by keeping some information hidden. If you have a hard time RP'ing your way around knowing that you rolled a nat 1 on your investigation check this is for you. I can roll your meaningfull non-combat skill checks so you can stay in the moment and experience the situation as your charter would. Now you wont know when you crit failed so you and your character can totally believe that the hallway is clear of guards, or that reformed cultist is on the level. This is optional, and I offer Inspiration (1 free re-roll per session on almost anything) to anyone how takes advantage of this option.
