PORTSBRIDGE
Cursed by a terrifying nemesis, this fantastical city has become unstuck in the universe, careening from one incredible world to another on tides of magic and mystery. For most of this time, Portsbridge has been pursued by a colossal demigod—the Devourer—bent on consuming the city.
In Level Eater 13 (in 2023), after years on the run, we confronted the Devourer in the ruined world it once escaped. We won. We defeated our old enemy. Now, we the people of Portsbridge seek a way to traverse the cosmos and get home again … if we can.
To date, Level Eater events set in Portsbridge have all been played using the venerable, popular roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. Over the years, we’ve added a lot to the city—new characters, new ways to play—to make each event unique. We love to meet new players, whether they’re new to D&D or Portsbridge or both!
“It isn’t the map that makes us neighbors. We have this place in common, but a city isn’t only a place. It’s people.”
(In reality, when we first wrote about Portsbridge, we had no idea we’d spend years getting to know the place. It’s inspired by a neighborhood on Chicago’s Near South Side, where many Level Eater events are held, seen through a lens of fantasy and adventure. It’s not an allegory; just inspiration.)
Portsbridge changes. Each major Level Eater event determines what happens next. We’ve seen defeats and triumphs over the years. To find out what’s next, we play.
EVIL EIGHT-LEGGED MONSTERS FROM THE DARKEST REACHES OF SPACE.
WICKED WARLOCKS IN SERVICE TO DREADED DEMIGODS.
TYRANNICAL ARMIES AND POWER-GREEDY SORCERERS.
We have survived them all. Together.
With our oldest foe defeated and the future of Portsbridge still uncertain, this is a great time to play a Level Eater event for the first time.
