Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (or DBBD shortened) is the first campaign in the Revenant plot, following on from the Eternity War saga but establishing an entirely new lore, including new threats, different rules and unfamiliar powers. Being familiar with the Eternity War saga is not necassary to take part.
The campaign features two sets of playable characters undergoing two simultaneous series' of events. The focus will switch between the two character sets at specific pre-planned moments, and the two stories will eventually merge into one. Despite each player controlling two characters, they will not have to control both at the same time during any point, and only one character creation form is required.
Players who are brand new to the game can always ask about character creation, join the facebook chat early to get a feel for things. Knowledge of the current storyline is not necassarily required, as your characters are likely to know as little as you. All events that take place in the campaign take place on the world of Barvos, which is inhabited by a number of different nations that play out in a seperate but interlinked game. Events from the two games sometimes cross over. If you're not aware of the game, the only nation you may benefit from knowing about is Amun-Seth - as most events are related to this country.
