About the adventure
🔥 Branded a criminal and sentenced to death, you have three days left to live. Approached in chains by agents of the archdevil Asmodeus himself, redemption isn’t on the table, only vengeance. The flames that scarred you will be nothing compared to the inferno you'll unleash on those who wronged you. Enter a dark fantasy world where you play the villain, toppling a virtuous kingdom through cunning, violence and unholy allegiances. Adapted from "Way of the Wicked", this is an adventure path that lets you walk the path of evil, from condemned prisoner to dark overlord. For this campaign your evil cabal has certain goals to work towards, but it is quite sandbox in structure, meaning that you will have latitude in how you go about achieveing these nefarious aims. As an evil campaign there will be a clear discussion of red lines that will not be crossed.

About me
Hi there, my name is David, and I wear many hats: nerd, nurse, father and more, but on this website the crown I wear is that of a Dungeon Master! I specialize in running 1:1 duets play-by-post games, as well as high level tier 3-4+ play. I’m based in the UK and am broadly available to talk 8 pm- 12 pm UK time, which is 3 pm - 7pm EST. This is the time window that I write most my daily posts. My pricing varies by the amount of skill and time that go into a game, where simpler games such as starter adventures cost $40 a week, and more complex games like my level 20+ games cost $60 a week.

Creating your character
Characters should be created on dnd beyond and imported into foundry. Starting Level 3, with one chance to roll for stats, falling back on point buy if you do not go with your rolls. All official content is permitted. I would rather avoid 3rd party content, but am willing to discuss content from reputable sources.

Safety
How David creates a safe table
I will be using the RPG Consent Checklist as a safety tool, which players should fill out beforehand and send to me on discord. This will be codified into a group list in session 0. This is an evil game so it is likely we will be going closer to darker themes than most games, and establishing our lines and veils will be particularly important before we start. As a DM my lines include violence towards children, sexual violence and graphic depictions of torture.
