The holy city of Elturel has disappeared from the Forgotten Realms and descended into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. This event came about as the result of an infernal bargain between the archdevil Zariel, who rules Avernus, and the treacherous High Overseer of Elturel, Thavius Kreeg. Zariel is capturing cities and using their citizens as fodder in the ongoing conflict between demons and devils known as the Blood War. Next on Zariel's list of cities is Elturel's neighbor, Baldur's Gate. The characters can be the heroes who descend into Avernus, save Elturel from certain destruction, and prevent a similar fate from befalling Baldur's Gate.
About Me: Hi everyone! I’m Rober (25, he/him) and I’ll (hopefully) be your DM. As a player I’ve played a few different systems and I specially like crunchy systems like D&D or Pathfinder, and narrative systems mostly with the PbtA engine- like Root RPG or City of Mist. As a DM, I’m fairly new with a few one-shots and a “Lost mine of Phandelver” campaign on my back. Outside of the game I’m your standard nerd with a love for the countryside, including tiny plants and cute frogs!
About The Game: I’m located in Europe (GMT+2) so I'm looking for 4-5 players able to play within my schedule (you don’t have in my time-zone but be able to play within it) and within the 20-30 age range. For the game we will be playing in a homebrew version of Baldurs Gate: Descent into Avernus. The characters will start at level 2 with a feat (no human variant allowed) and all published material by WotC is available for character creation. I’ll also allow most UA articles, but most Homebrew won’t be allowed (ask me just in case!) except if it’s a fairly tested product like the Pugilist class-this limit is just because options that I’m not familiar with, will need me to spend more time thinking about different scenes and encounters.
This campaign is going to be LGBT+ friendly and homophobia/transphobia/racism/etc will not be tolerated. For safety the “X-card” will be available. In session 0 we will be able to mark the different “Lines and Veils” for each of the players, but some that I have as default is sexual encounters as Lines- you can definitely play as a horny bard if that is your thing, or maybe during your adventures you encounter the love of your life and have sex together-however I’m not interested in roleplaying the actual moment so when it happens it will fade away and we’ll move onto the next scene. For hard no-no explicit sexual violence such as ****, as well as homophobia/transphobia/racism will not be allowed.
The tone of the game will be laid-back so that we can usually laugh but be serious when the situation calls for it. Newbies are welcome to apply!
About the Setting: As said before we will be playing the published module-Descent into Avernus, where you will play in the Forgotten Realms, around the area of Baldurs Gate for the first chapters doing standard adventurer quests until eventually through a chain of events you’ll find yourselves in Avernus, the first layer of the nine hells (featuring a mix between Doom and Mad Max) ruled by the fallen angel Zariel.
About you: You are able to play Tuesdays at 22:30 CEST (Berlin time) usually for 3hours (until 1:30) and have read all the above. To apply, reply to this post with: your name, age pronouns, timezone, experience with TTRPGs, favorite moment during an RPG (or a random cool fact that you wanna share), What do you expect for this game/What sort of playstyle suits you best? Anything in particular you wanna see/do? and finally a sort pitch for 2-3 character concepts that you wanna play. Also write your discord tag!
Hey there. Name is Chris, I use male pronouns. I use central standard time zone, and I've been playing d&d for almost three years. I usually play as a tank, but I have been branching out lately. My fun fact: did you know that Gary Gygax was a Roman Catholic? And most of the cleric spells were based on Roman Catholicism?
Hello, my name is Danny, Im 25 as well, (he/him), Im in Central Daylight time or UTC/GMT -5, I played DnD once years ago but have had no experience since, so complete beginner pretty much.
My random fact is that the reason the moon looks reddish during lunar eclipses is that since the earth is bigger than the moon all the light that hits the moons surface is light that has been filtered through the earths atmosphere (and bent around the earth) and the earths atmosphere filters out all the other colors so that only the reddish hue is left.
My expectations for this game are that it will be fun and casual and hopefully not to difficult for someone with little to no experience.
Hey! I´m Ariel (they/them). I live in germany so the time is perfect for me. I have been playing DnD for about 2 to 3 years now. I actually reacently had to leave a game that was also taking place in the forgotten realms. The character i had for this game was a Triton wizard that I would be hoping to play again? And my air genasi monk of the way of the Astral Self that i had played in a stream. She is 14 level right now but i do not mind leveling her down. If it make a difference, I do art for all my characters (and my commissions are open lol) I would love to join a chill, fun game.
Hello! I would love to be a part of your campaign!
I'm Doug, 25, he/him. I'm in the HST time zone. I have not played DnD before, but I've listened to the podcast adventures of Critical Role, Second Best: A DnD Adventure, and the like. I have a hyperactive imagination and thrive in creative problem-solving environments. As such, I love escape rooms! Am a certified heckin' nerd. I would expect this game to be well-balanced between role-playing and combat where it's challenging and fulfilling for everyone involved.
Fun fact: the Earth's magnetic field is an effect of a dynamo action at our core where liquid iron quickly cools and heats itself off of a solid ball of iron the liquid iron is encasing. This action of basically flash freezing and thawing causes ninety percent of the effects of the electromagnetic field that makes it possible to inhabit the Earth.
Hello My name is Stephanie, I'm 30 (she, her, they, them), time zone AWST or GMT+8.
I have been playing for just under a year. I have played up to 3 campaigns, one ended due to DM being unable to commit due to RL reasons. One I have just started and one where my brother is DM that we have been playing for 8 to 9 months. My favourite moment during an RPG is where I got to roll with advantage and critically failed, the DM had to end the session because he wasn't sure what to do with that. I haven't lived it down and my group has laughed about it since. My expectations for the game is to have fun, I take my gaming seriously and do my best to commit to game time. I enjoy Role play and combat, mysteries and puzzles too. As I'm still relatively new to the game I like to see where and play out where ever the adventure takes me. I have played healers and a sorcerer I have created a few fighter class characters that are just sitting in the wing along with a ranger. I'm happy to branch out and fill in with what the group needs. I'm laid back and always try to be respectful and accepting of other people, their beliefs and point's of view. To me it doesn't matter if you're red, white, green, black, purple or blue. You are a person and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
I hope I will be considered and very much look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hi! My name is Mhadiex, Or Madison (She/Her), 22 Y/O, in Easter Standard Time. I've been playing TTRPGs for 7 years and DMing for 6, I also work on staff for several West March Servers, and specialize in Balancing of Homebrew. I have a lot of favorite moments from games, but they are typically ones with great amounts of character development.
My random cool fact, is that if threatened, the peacock mantis shrimp will whip out it's appendages at speeds of 23 m/sec. Roughly 50 times faster than blinking.
My playstyle is fairly relaxed, I like to make jokes and generally have a pleasant time. I also like roleplay and tend to dislike combat- though I build very combat oriented characters. Character Concepts for this would be UA Fairy Fighter/Barb, Or a Twilight Cleric. (I would also use an Aassimar if you would say no to the Fey Folk UA.) My discord tag is Mhadiex#1120

Establish boundaries. And if anyone crosses them, speak up. If they don’t listen, there’s always cloudkill … -Tasha
I'm really bad at introductions, but hey, I'm Trevor (he/him), and I'm 17 Y/O, I live on the West Coast, and I've been playing DnD for around 3 years now, I've never DMed a campaign though. I have a lot of creativity and love coming up with characters on the fly. I have a really dry sense of humor, though.
My random cool fact is that rats are not physically capable of vomiting, hence why rat poison is so effective.
My playstyle can vary depending on my mood, I like to make jokes (even though I'm usually very unfunny), and I love to have a fun time. I love roleplay and combat, especially when killing blows are detailed.
My character concept for this would be a human Oath of Vengeance Paladin who's swore an oath to seek out and destroy any and all demons (I have a plan for him to become morally conflicted over time, since y'know, demons are sapient, evil shit heads who can manipulate people with ease). Though I haven't really fleshed out a picture for his backstory yet, I'm sure I'll be able to type out a small novel once I get some inspiration from the rest of the group.
What’s up my names Kieran I’m 18 i use male pronouns I use central timezone I play as a rouge and I’m pretty new to D&D and want to learn how to play it and my favorite moment during an rpg is the final boss of xenoblade chronicles
I'm 21 and living in Cape Town South Africa, (GMT +2). Been playing DnD for about 2 years now, I'm a budding voice actor who loves RP and strategic combat. I have a few characters available but I'm also more than happy to fill any role That's missing since every class and role in 5e is OP asfff. Favorite moments in DND history are Scanlans 9th level counterspell on Vecna in Critical Role C1 and Mollymauks death in C2 (not a good memory just emotional)
I don't know if your group is full now or not, but in case that it isn't I would like to join. My name is John, I'm 23 and I'm okay with everything that you stated in your post. I have been playing dnd 5e for almost 3 years now, but I haven't played that adveture before.
