About the adventure
They say 'war is hell' but in the great city of Mephisto Falls, hell is war -- a war in two directions. Upward to freedom, or downward to the throne. Of course, both are entirely out of your reach. Your boss, Uncle Femur, has the contract for your soul locked up tight in his safe, and you've got another 99 jobs to pull off before he agrees to trade it back to you. Jobs that seem to get more dangerous the longer you spend under Femur's thumb. But once you get your soul back, the sky's the limit -- perhaps by way of Faustus Industries? On the other hand, maybe the pit's the limit -- so long as you take out every other ringleader from the Falls down to the frozen Core. After all, anyone can be anything in Mephisto Falls. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. And, right or wrong, fair or not, you're stuck down here without a ladder. Just your ambition, your moxie, and a crew of nobodies just like you, ready to take Hell by storm.

About me
Hi there! I'm Adam, I'm an illustrator and comic artist, and I've been GMing TTRPGs for over 10 years. When I'm not working with my partner Trout on our graphic novel, I'm constantly dreaming up adventures I want to run and worlds in which to run them! Getting to create custom art for my players is one of my favorite parts of being a GM, and that will absolutely carry forward into my campaigns here on StartPlaying! I have years of experience running DnD 5e, and I've run dozens of sessions of Cypher System, as well. I'm also extremely excited to start running games using the Wild Words system! I'm honestly really open to branching out and seeing what else I've been missing. If you're interested in seeing some of my previous work in the space, check out Brine & Blight, a Cypher campaign I ran a few years back, on YouTube! IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: As a matter of principle, none of my campaigns will ever make any use whatsoever of generative AI. I'm an artist and a creative, and I am categorically opposed to AI.

Creating your character
Before jumping into the campaign proper, we'll get the table together for Session 0, where we can all go over our hopes, desires and expectations for the game! Feel free to bring character ideas to our Session 0, so we can collaboratively create our team and tailor our choices to our unique version of the underworld!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
-Players should be prepared to be on camera for my campaigns -We'll have a discord server for ease of communication between sessions as well as for voice/video during sessions -Foundry login (free version, I will have the paid version)
What Adam brings to the table
-Setting/Lore document -Hand drawn campaign setting map -Hand drawn NPC tokens -Hand drawn portraits for PCs (Completed after 3 sessions) -Character voices (PCs are encouraged to do so too!) -Ambient music -I love tactically satisfying combat, but rule of cool exists in my games!

How Adam creates a safe table
I make use of Lines and Veils in every single campaign I run, sent as an anonymous Google form prior to our first session, as well as message-based X/N/O cards during play. Before jumping into the campaign proper, we'll get the table together for a free-of-charge Session 0, where we can all go over our hopes, desires and expectations for the game!
