About the adventure

Baldur’s Gate teeters on the edge — between triumph and corruption, salvation and damnation. Cultists roam the alleys promising power, nobles sell their souls for influence, and justice has become a commodity few can afford. When a neighboring city falls into Hell itself, Baldur’s Gate may be next. The question is no longer whether devils walk among us… but how many are already in charge. To save the city, you may have to lead the charge into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, where war machines roar and archdevils decide the fate of millions. ¿Are you willing to damn yourselves so others can be free? So, let's talk about some basic info: 1. This is a pay-to-play game that will run on Mondays; 2. This game will require payment per Player, Per session, and 2 hours before game time; 3. Session 0 is free, we are going to spend 2 hours on the character's creation and/or expectations and the last 1-1.5 hours is an introduction to the campaign; 4. This campaign is for 3-6 players running from levels 1-13; and it is expected to last about 8 months to a year with a 3-3.5 hour session per week; 5. 2014 or 2024 Character Sheet; 6. Voice chat is over discord; 7. Game is at the same time every week with 2 or more players; and, 8. Experience points by Milestone.

About me

Hi! I’m Zojak, bilingual GM (English & Spanish) and founder of Hidden Tavern. I’ve been running roleplaying games for over 10 years, from official campaigns to homebrew adventures. I love crafting immersive, dynamic, and player-driven experiences—and yes, GMing is my full-time passion. My goal is simple: create memorable sessions where players feel engaged, challenged, and excited to return every week. I enjoy running games for both beginners and veterans, and I’m always happy to help new players learn the system in a relaxed, welcoming environment. If you value consistency, communication, and cinematic storytelling that respects player agency, my table is built for you.
