About the adventure
⚔️ Rebel warfare and daring missions; strike against enemy strongholds, sabotage supply lines, rescue allies, and wage a campaign of freedom and resistance against seemingly impossible odds. 🔥 A war against a hellish empire; face down Hellknight orders, devil-contracted agents, infernal magic, and the terrifying power of an oppressive regime fueled by diabolic pacts. 🕵️ Intrigue, espionage, and political tension; navigate alliances, uncover traitors, and unite unlikely allies in the fight for liberation. 🎭 Heroic roleplay moments, with meaningful stakes; you are not just adventurers this time, you're revolutionaries whose victories and failures will shape the fate of your organization, and eventually entire nations. 📖 The Story For nearly a century, the infernal empire of Cheliax and the nation of Andoran have stood on the brink of open warfare. Now, the balance has finally broken. As the Hellfire Crisis spreads across Avistan, the nation of Isger finds itself caught in the middle of the chaos. Long neglected, heavily taxed, and ground under the Chelaxian regime, its people have suffered in silence. But that silence could only last so long....A rebel movement known as the Hellbreakers League has begun to rise in Isger. Soldiers, idealists, and ordinary people willing to risk everything for a chance at freedom. You will begin as some of their newest agents. What starts as a desperate struggle to liberate towns, recover powerful relics, and survive the wrath of Cheliax soon becomes something far greater. As war erupts between nations, and the fires of the revolution spread, your fight will carry you beyond Isger’s borders and deep into enemy territory, across battlefields and seas, and perhaps even into Hell itself. This campaign combines Hellbreakers and Hell’s Destiny into one complete level 1–20 epic, taking your characters from underground guerrilla resistance fighters to the heroes who may decide the fate of the Inner Sea. The question is a simple one, will you break the chains of oppression, or be shackled by them. 👋 A welcoming and inclusive table where every voice is heard and everyone is welcome. A supportive GM who’s always ready to collaborate, troubleshoot, and help bring your coolest ideas to life, with zero tolerance for bigotry of any kind. 🗡️ A rich and rewarding adventure, where your characters grow from humble novices into legendary heroes while facing meaningful challenges, eventually rising to face epic, world-level threats. 🔥 Cinematic and immersive combat encounters with tactical depth and dramatic storytelling. 🎙️ (Attempted) voice acting to help bring the world and its characters to life.

About me
🧠 Neurodivergent | ⚔️ Storyteller | 🌈 LGBTQIA+ friendly Hey there traveler, I'm Chris! I'm a passionate story teller and recently forever GM rocking over 15 years of experience as a TTRPG enjoyer and now 6 years behind the screen as a GM and I predominantly run PF2e these days, but I have familiarity with several systems. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment at my tables, where everyone can be comfortably themselves, and feel like they're a part of something epic! As such all my games are inclusive, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and built on mutual respect with 0 tolerance for people who want to be dicks. I'd like to think that whether you're a veteran or completely new to the world of TTRPGs, as long as you like stories and can play nice with others you're welcome at my table.😁

Creating your character
Character creation should be a collaborative and stress-free process. I prefer to run Session 0 as a one-on-one with each player so we can focus on building your character together and making sure they feel like a natural fit for the world. Whether you're bringing a pre-formed concept or just a vague idea, I'm here to help bring it to life. We'll start by discussing any variant rules you'd like to use, and then walk through the setting's unique themes, character options, and background lore. I recommend using Pathbuilder for ease of planning and getting a rough idea of your character's growth through the first several levels, though your path may evolve as the story unfolds. Above all, my goal is to make sure you're excited and comfortable to step into the world and begin your adventure with a character that feels truly your own.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To join our adventure, all you'll need is: ✨A decent microphone ✨A Discord account ✨A computer with an internet connection ✨Most importantly, come prepared with an open mind, and a willingness to work with me and your group to have a great time.
What Chris brings to the table
What you can expect is a welcoming and inclusive experience where every voice is heard and every player is welcomed and valued. This is a rich and rewarding adventure where you’ll have the chance to become true heroes, facing real challenges and rising through meaningful choices. With immersive roleplay, memorable NPCs, and cinematic combat, every session is designed to pull you deeper into the story. You'll be guided by a supportive GM who’s eager to collaborate, troubleshoot, and bring your ideas into the spotlight. The game runs smoothly on a fully automated luxury Foundry VTT setup, using the Free Archetype variant for extra character customization. Voice acting (or at least an attempt!) helps bring the world to life, and your character’s journey will be just as important as the plot itself, because here, it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about the heroes you become along the way.
Homebrew rules
✨Free Archetype: Every even level starting from 2 you have access to an extra feat slot exclusively for dedications and archetype feats. I don't allow class dedications in these slots, however pretty much everything else is on the table, and I'll work with you to help it make sense in the narrative.

How Chris creates a safe table
Open communication is, as always, key to ensuring a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone at the table. I make myself as freely and openly available to my players as I can, especially if they need to talk, whether the issue is at the table, or IRL. The content & trigger warnings do not comprehensively cover all potential experiences in the game. Players are strongly encouraged to communicate directly with me about any specific triggers, lines, or veils that may impact their enjoyment and comfort.
