Pirate Borg: Dead Down Below

Save a city from hell, or watch as another suffers the same fate. Save Elturel from the Descent Startplaying.games Campiagn Link --- The Descent is a massive event in Forgotten Realms lore. One man's greed and lust for power led his entire city to be dragged to hell. Now, whoever said hell, can't be fun, hasn't played the Descent into Avernus. This campaign takes everything that you would expect from a game with this name, a small romp through a city that soon leads to a Mad Max style escapade throughout the first layer of Hell. Fighting both demons and devils to save a city. With no military affiliation to speak of, you do this for the love of the game. This campaign is so grandiose that you can fight not just one, but two seperate Gods. Whilst this campaign does take place in Hell. Make no mistake, there is plenty of room for comedic shenanigans. After all, if we didn't laugh, we'd certainly cry. --- Character creation Creating your character Character creation can happen in many ways: 📋 During Session 0 we can build a character together whilst we talk. 🐉 If you have a DNDBeyond sheet we can import it into the system. 📝 If you have a paper sheet I will re-create the character for you. 💪 Characters will be level 1 to start - Point Buy or Standard Array. 📕 Species and Subclasses from these books are permitted: PHB, MPMM, FTD, TCE, XGE, GotG, BMT, Forgotten Realms & The Module ⚡ Spells from all official books (barring Strixhaven) are permitted Creating a highly optimised or Min/Max build is highly discouraged. --- What to expect Preparing for the session 💻 A laptop or computer with a resolution of 1366x768 or higher is recommended to ease of viewing. 🔊 Discord 🎙️ A microphone 🕴️ A character idea or concept 📒 (Optional) Something to take notes on 📹 (Optional) A webcam Note that whilst I will play with a webcam on, players are not obligated to do so. --- What Matthew (ItsScottish) brings to the table 🎮 I will bring the server that the game will be hosted on firstly. 🔐 A secure server with HTTPS security. ⌛ Plenty of Patience for new players and a guiding hand 🍹 A curated atmosphere > 📞 NPC voices > 🔊 Background music and noises Including Combat > 🗺️ Plenty of Battlemaps 🧠 Vast Lore Knowledge of the world --- Homebrew rules 🎲 Roll Modifiers Unless stated otherwise, any action that adds to a roll must be called before the roll is made.

"A real sense of a world and a story to explore" - current player review More reviews at https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmn29jth10031jy047qj8r5o0 Pick up your guns, and save the Material Plane! - Blast your way through a dying D&D weird west, with new firearm-themed magic items, spells, and subclasses - Fight an enigmatic cult, set on making the apocalypse even worse - Track down mysterious tarot cards and solve the puzzle of creation - Prevent (or abet!) an inter-planar jailbreak - Mind Flayer Train Heist Hear what Jacob the DM has to say about Spireward Bound at https://youtu.be/8lGXO76AeW8 At the centre of the Great Wheel lies the Material Plane, and at the centre of the Material Plane is Sigil. A flying city of portals, the City of Doors has closed. The gods have decreed that The Reckoning has come and the Material Plane's time is over. All that is left now is the Endlands, immeasurable leagues of sunless wastes, fled by all who can escape to the Outer Planes. But something else moves in the shadows. Might there be something worse than the end of the Material Plane after all? In this mash-up of Planescape and Stephen King's Dark Tower epic, you will explore a reality moving on, discover the secrets of its creation, and decide its fate once and for all. Your heroes have come together from across D&D's time and space to a land of sunless light, unpredictable magic, and guns. Lots of guns. Let's hope you're quick on the draw. Built for players with all levels of experience, Spireward Bound follows a semi-episodic structure. Every few sessions, your characters are confronted with a new, exciting situation on your journey, each of which is designed for open-ended adventure. Our adventure is underway, but there's room at the fireside for more travelers! The posse are level 12 and consists of: 🐎 Potra Equidos, Centaur Paladin and entertainer, dedicated to Kelemvor. Always the first to charge in with battle axe and shotgun, but never sure we're going the right way. ✊ Jasir al-Sahir, Drow Monk/Warlock, newly undead and struggling with the competing influence of Dabus 19 and the Frontier Flames. A increasingly erratic investigator with a hound at his side. 🐲 Fin, Kobold Rogue and seasoned bounty hunter. A little guy with a big job, eager to track down the Herald. In pursuit of the Justice Tarot and worried about growing danger to the Endlands, they find themselves planning to hijack a Mind Flayer train!
