Game style: 1-sentence pitch: I bring 3D maps and custom minis to an online campaign, where we focus on combat and roleplay, with plenty of NPCs/factions for you to negotiate or ally with or against.

What's the Campaign?
Descent Into Avernus: Dark Alliances Version. Evil PCs & New Players Welcome | LGBTQ- Friendly, NEW Campaign, Level 1 - 13+
Session 0 is FREE.
A holy city has disappeared. A city of scoundrels face an evil cult. Devils are making deals for souls. They're not the only evil cult in Baldur's Gate. Political assassinations. Framed for murders. And that's before you go to the hells!
Good, bad, or just with plans of your owns: Time to make friends, uncover murder mysteries, barter souls, and pick sides in a war in hell! If there was ever a time to roll a character that's a holy warrior of hope or an evil bastard, this is the adventure for you.
This campaign is designed to allow backgrounds with strong ties to Faerun locations and campaign events, as well character development to involve possible alliances with political factions, deities, devils, and unexpected forces. This allows multiple ending combinations and flexible development. Sell your soul to a Archdevil for support in hell, or plead with celestials to direct you to a holy weapon. Save a city or damn it, pick sides in a war in hell, lead forces of devils, demons, or paladins for your cause.
Campaign is a combination of published WotC, Alexandrian Remix, Homebrew Rules and Remix, and some of my Homebrew Characters/Monsters. Focus is on combat, group planning, and character development. City and travel maps are provided, so you feel like part of a larger world.
Gameplay happens on the 3D environment of TaleSpire, with personal tokens allowed, with lore and campaign details on Discord. Creating a balance of colorful, 3D environment during combat, and in-depth lore over text chat. Gods, devils, and others exist for you to side with, and reward you if you do well with their goals.
Why is it paid?
I import minis from HeroForge, I buy supplement materials for the campaign, I create 3D maps for the encounters and dungeon crawls. I've added considerably to the campaign (Alexandrian Remix, homebrew, Encounters in Avernus, etc) and take a spin to create multiple opportunities for players to pick alliances and see how multiple storylines in. In short, this takes up alot of time and resources. Having a paid campaign makes some players commit, and others know the value is there.
What is Dark Alliances Version?
I have added to 3 elements on Descent Into Avernus that didn't make sense in my style. 1.) There weren't may places for multiple endings, despite the appeal of good/bad/bargaining with devils. I expanded this to have multiple endings, depending on which side of the conflict the party decides to help, and at multiple stages. Think similar to Fallout: New Vegas where you can decide the conflict between NCR and Ceasar, or decide the various fates of New Vegas as a city. 2.) Bargaining with Devils: I have expanded so not only can you sell your soul, but different devils offer different perks. You can even win back your soul back by accomplishing great goals for your soul-holder. For good-aligned characters, there's blessings the good-aligned gods may give you for taking on more challenging tasks. 3.) In-Depth Backstories. Want to be a crusader from Elturel? A pirate from Baldur's Gate? A scholar from CandleKeep? The party is introduced as strangers with their own goals, and rich backstories to allow more in-depth roleplay from the early stages.
What is TaleSpire? Do I Need To Own It?
TaleSpire is a 3D VTT for the minis and the map/board. I have found a high level of customization in it, and DNDBeyond can do the rest. If you have it, I am willing to give $10 your first session that is more than $10 to help off-set the cost. If you don't have it, I stream the game on Zoom, and you can tell me where to move your piece. If you want to move you piece on your own, then buy TaleSpire.
Character Creation Rules?
Faerun Races are allowed. Racial stats using Custom Origin, races of MotM, or races outside Faerun require DM approval. Don't stress, just avoid gimmick races (for example: "I want to play a Loxodon so I can smack people with my trunk and say funny things!" is not going to be approved). We start at level 1 and level up quickly until 3.
What do I need? Free DNDBeyond Account Free Zoom installed Microphone. Webcam preferred as well, but not required. Discord
