In the interests of everyone understanding what is being offered, without flavor or embellishment: I face the dilemma of having vastly too many creatures of CRs that just don't get used (both pre-existing ones and entirely homebrew creations) and rarely do games get up to the levels required to make use of them. I want to make use of them.
So, if you're interested in a campaign where the bar starts at "Can lay siege to The Nine Hells" and only gets more demanding from there, you've found the right place. I intend to open the campaign with just that. The party will, for reasons which are their own, attempt to lay waste to every unique devil on the d20pfsrd. There will, of course, be other obstacles, including armies of lesser devils. There will be a significant twist, however: Lucifer will not be CR 39. Or 40. or 41.
Now we get to the fluffy bits of this!
Now is the opportune time for those with ambitions toward Hell to act. Not because it is weak, but because if the hammer does not come down now, it never will. Asmodeous has gone missing, and in his absence, a long forgotten angel has seized the realm. If he is allowed to secure his position, Hell will become unassailable.
To prevent the gods of the world from interfering, the angel has issued a dire threat. If any deity sets foot in Hell without his consent, he will turn all his infernal power, the mighty magics he wields, and the mythic power that lives in his bones toward the purpose of annihilation.
The specifics he offered are as follows: He has promised the return of Nex and The Whispering Tyrant Tar-Baphon, the full vengeance of Baba Yaga, and the shattering of Rovagug's prison. None are certain he can make good on these threats, but the risk is too great to attempt it.
The angel, cunning enough to recognize that, left with no options, the gods would gamble, has thrown down a challenge.
"If the Throne of Hell should be wrested from me by a mortal, I will relinquish my claim on the powers by which I threaten reality."
Returning to the crunchy bits!
Those interested should build 25 point buy characters which are CR 20. Yes, CR. For those who need help with the math, I'm willing to provide aid, but what this means is: Monsters may be used and given class levels. Characters can be lower level so as to allow for taking Mythic Tiers. There will be Mythic enemies. There will be enemies powerful enough to break the system over their knees.
Assuming the party survives, accomplishes the task (and presumably gains much loot and many levels along the way) there are other challenges to explore, titans to fight, and good deeds to be done. But I think there's enough on the plate already ;)
I realize this may be a -very- niche pitch. I can be reached here or on skype (argetlampuppeh)
The game will be played on Maptools and skype.
