About the adventure
Set in a homebrew hodgepodge of underworld myths and legends—pass through the crowd of souls in Purgatory, face the three-headed hell hound who gatekeeps Hell, and deal with a Horned Devil to succeed where the legendary Orpheus failed before you! This game is primarily a dungeon-crawl and focuses on combat/exploration, but I plan to incorporate your backstories: expect to find and roleplay with mythic characters, and hopefully the NPC your character entered the underworld to save!

About me
D&D is hands-down my favorite game and I already spend my whole day building adventures, so why not share 'em? I've play with veteran adventurers, first-time questers, and everything in between—everyone's welcome at my table! I make most of my content from scratch (with a few familiar favorites sprinkled in), so each of my campaigns are unique and I'm open to all kinds of weird wackiness!

Creating your character
Play as a 4th-level character who (1) is a soul trapped in the underworld, or, (2) is trying to rescue someone's soul from the underworld, for some reason. Reach out to the GM about whose soul you are trying to save from the underworld.

What Nri brings to the table
I love nothing more than good goblin voices, stylized signature moves, or fun exploration mechanics. I always try to serve up a balance of combat, exploration, and roleplay. I homebrew all the time, but plenty of iconic monsters and magic are featured too (the tropes are famous for a reason).
Homebrew rules
I prefer players reach out to me before using homebrew character options. For this game, most of my homebrew will be in my monsters and traps.
