Hey everyone, I’m Eli! I love coffee, hamsters, and mangoes! This will be a Descent Into Avernus play by post (PBP) game. That said, I’m aiming for 1 or 2 posts per day! I’ve made a few changes to the original adventure to try to give a more player oriented approach. The adventure I’ll be running is Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus. The campaign leans heavily into themes of moral ambiguity, difficult choices, and the consequences of power. Devilish bargains, temptations, and questions of what people are willing to sacrifice for salvation are all central to the story. While there will certainly be combat, the adventure really shines when players lean into roleplay, character motivations, and the weight of their decisions. Your characters will begin as members of the Flaming Fist, so having motivations that tie you to Baldur’s Gate, Elturel, or the surrounding regions will go a long way in grounding your character in the story. I’m open to my players using any kind of format for their sheets whether that’s PDF or DnD Beyond, but we’ll be rolling using Avrae so DnD Beyond tends to be the most seamless. In terms of rulesets, we’ll be starting at level three with a combination of the 2014 and 2024 edition ruleset. Nothing from official material is restricted including partnered content, but I’ll have to take a look at any potential homebrew before players can use it. Five spots are open. 18+ game. To apply, message me and introduce yourself and share something you’re excited about in the game! There are two great cities along the western reaches of the Sword Coast. One is Baldur’s Gate, a city of ambition and hard coin. The other was Elturel, a city of faith and discipline, watched over by a holy light known as the Companion. For generations it stood as a symbol of order and righteousness in a dangerous world.  Now there is only one. Weeks ago, caravans began arriving from the East carrying rumors that sounded too strange to believe. Refugees claimed that Elturel had simply… vanished. Where the city once stood, travelers say there is nothing but a darkened sun. Somewhere beyond the mortal world, deep within Avernus, something has begun to stir.
