About the adventure
A holy city has vanished without a trace, dragged into the First Layer of the Nine Hells. Now, its neighbouring city, Baldur's Gate, descends into chaos. Refugees flood the gates, unchecked corruption is now suffocating, leadership is lost and turning to oppression. They fear they are next. And they might just be right. As you descend into Avernus, you are not just fighting for your own survival, but for the fate of the realms. In a burning, desolate landscape that puts any apocalypse to shame, you will carve out your path and history itself. This campaign is packed with lore, flavour and story. Built for those who want a deep dive into Faerun and the Forgotten Realms and who wanna test out their mettle against the fires of Hell itself. It will get gritty. It will get dark. But as a light will always shine even in the darkest places, so will fun and laughter fuel the party through it. Torch is optional, as everything already burns.

About me
The juice flows and quenches the thirst of the realms. Curve ball player turned dedicated GM. Hardened by chaotic tables, the pull of something more was strong, and thus serenity prevailed to discover the worlds we can build together. I'm here to explore the boundaries of reality, ahem, to have fun and take you on a journey to those worlds.

Creating your character
Together we'll figure out quickly if this is the game for you, as that is the most important part. I'll invite you to a Discord Server dedicated to the game, along with a DnDBeyond Campaign so you can create a Character from a multitude of options. Roll for stats, and I'll help you with character creation and anything else, as much as you need.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need a computer with access to the internet, and a good mic is very much appreciated. You will need to join a Discord server, and interact with a VTT through a browser.
What JUICE brings to the table
There will be quality maps, scenes and ambient music to each situation. I will share with you an extensive library for you to create your character and will always have our VTT space prepared for the adventure. The world will be brought to life by fleshing out locations and NPCs and making sure, above all, the spirit and mood of the adventure is preserved. Combat will be frequent in this game and the stakes are high. Rules as Written are enforced, with some Rule of Cool rights reserved to enjoy it further. Everything is aimed at making you really feel like you're actually in Hell (Baldur's Gate counts). Laughing and enjoying every moment - even if your characters lose their souls in the Styx. Note on Art: To give unique faces to minor NPCs and quick visual flavor to a few scenes, I occasionally use AI-assisted art. All tactical battle maps are human-crafted.

How JUICE creates a safe table
Individually checking with each player for their lines and veils and enforcing them as if they are my own, making the player's boundaries anonymous if so desired. Session 0 will set expectations and general rules, both of conduct and otherwise.
