About the adventure
Welcome to Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus. A high-stakes, epic campaign that begins in the infamous streets of Baldur’s Gate and quickly spirals into one of the most legendary adventures in the Forgotten Realms. You’ll start in one of the most iconic and lawless cities on the Sword Coast: a place of scheming factions, powerful guilds, ancient temples, and cutthroat opportunity. But something unnatural is happening. As events unfold, your party will be thrust from the alleys and rooftops of Baldur’s Gate into a much larger, more dangerous conflict, one that will take you beyond the mortal realm and into the war-torn wastelands of Avernus. Do you have what it takes to saved the people of Elturel? To survive the dangers and heat of the first layer of hell? Or to be brave and wise enough to best an army of devils? Then Elturel needs you! Sign up today at your local Flaming Fist outpost.

About me
Hello, Intrepid Adventurers! I'm Nick (aka Bludelf), a seasoned Dungeon Master and passionate D&D enthusiast. I try to bring as much immersion into the game and world around it as possible. Expertise & Focus I specialize in the Forgotten Realms lore and modules, enhancing their content with heavily customized scenes tailored to the story and world around you. My current modules include: Kingmaker Faerûn: A Homebrew 5e adventure. Waterdeep: Dragon Heist/Mad Mage expanded. Curse of Strahd: Custom homebrew Spelljammer (Light of Xaryxis ->Vecna Homebrew) Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Vecna: Eve of Ruin / Planescape Personalized Campaigns My commitment is to craft unique and engaging experiences, delving deeply into character backstories and promoting in-depth player interaction. Between sessions, our Discord community is active with resources, roleplay opportunities, and support to enrich your journey. Streaming & Privacy Options Some sessions are streamed and uploaded to YouTube, depending on the table's interest. This is entirely optional, and I also offer private, non-streamed games. Join me for an unforgettable adventure into the realms of Faerun, where your story is brought to life within the Forgotten Realms!
