Pathfinder 2e | Pathfinder 2e | SHADOWS AT SUNDOWN | Level 11-13 Adventure in Korvosa!

About the adventure

Over ten years ago, the city of Korvosa suffered under the rule of the tyrannical Queen Ileosa. The city has recovered from her rule, but now people are seeing her ghost appearing after dark in places where her cruelty hit particularly hard. Whispers of conspiracies, people vanishing off the streets, and the death of a prominent local religious leader have the city of Korvosa on edge. Can you unravel the truth about this latest threat to the city before it's too late? "Shadows at Sundown" is a Pathfinder adventure for 11th-level characters. Featuring the potential return of several classic villains, an extensive investigation of a supernatural mystery, and several dangerous locations to explore, this adventure is ready to give your group the chance to save the city of Korvosa from some of its most notorious dangers—or the chance for the heroes to see their final sunset! We will be running the single-book adventure within Golarion in 2e on a fully-loaded Foundry VTT! You may recognise the setting from Curse of the Crimson Throne - one of Paizo's most successful Adventure Paths. We will run through the themes, goals, expectations, and etiquette for our table before jumping into character creation over Discord. I will help anyone who requires it, with no limitations when it comes to rarity or build choices. Once we are happy, I will make a custom token for you to use within the game. Variant Rules: - Free Archetype: take a Dedication to give another dynamic to your character - Critical Hit/Fumble Deck: Let's make those natural 20s count with extra effects! - Clerics+, Oracles+, & Witches+ included until the Remaster comes out! - Hero Point variant: Hero Points can be spent to add +6 to a d20 roll, or give me a -6 to one of my d20 rolls About Me: I am a Games Master with nearly a decade's worth of experience and have run a number of games in D&D, Delta Green, SWFFG, Starfinder, Lancer, Basic Fantasy, Pokemon Tabletop United, Blades in the Dark, Forbidden Lands, The One Ring, SWADE, and - my favourite so far - Pathfinder 2e. This hobby has somewhat taken over my life: be it my bi-weekly game that has been running for 6 years, various one-shots and mini-campaigns, play-by-post experiments, artwork, books... I'm rather enthusiastic. I run my campaigns and adventures using Foundry VTT's many bells and whistles to bring life to an already fantastic game. I like to see the rules as a launch-pad for creativity - allowing for Rule-of-Cool, Rules-as-Interpreted, and creative resolutions - with a flexible and tactical game that balances all the way from level 1 to the end-game. I'm passionate, friendly, accommodating, and patient. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned vet, you're welcome at my table.

Additional Details

How to prepare

All you need is a Discord account and a mic. Webcams are optional, but they do help with player and character interactions. Access to either Pathbuilder or Wanderer's Guide is recommended, but you can also just have everything on Foundry if you would rather. I will be using a host website from Oracle (it is safer, faster, and works very well) so you will only need the game link. You may use the online Dice Roller installed on Foundry (you can even customise the graphic of the dice that are rolled!) or bring and roll your own - as long as you stay honest!! Other than that, just positivity and enthusiasm!

What I provide

Each player will get their own custom token to be used for their characters (my work can be found @osiristokens on Instagram). There will be battlemaps, music, effects, and the full lvl 5-10 Adventure ready to go. In addition, at the end of the adventure, I will create a party illustration of each of the characters for you to download. I look forward to meeting you! Happy gaming.

Gameplay details

I like to follow the rules but allow for creative solutions and some appropriate bending. Combat should aim to be snappy, and I make sure that everyone knows when their turn is approaching so that they have plenty of time to think and react. Table Etiquette: - This is a game: having fun is always the first goal. This expands to all players - GM included. - Respect the team: racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, or any other toxic and disgraceful behaviour will not be tolerated. We are all human beings, so let's celebrate that. - Communication is key: conflict happens, and often enhances the game as a whole. Make sure that you check in with everyone so that we can be clear about where that conflict stops. - Be reasonable and clear with your expectations: every character has a story, and campaigns are long-form. I'll do my best to make sure that everyone feels that they have had valuable "screen-time", but I would also ask that you remain patient and respectful of the fact that the spotlight may shine on others for a time, too. That being said, I - as a mistake-prone and fallible human - will always take the time to listen and discuss any grievances. This refers back to the previous point. - Do not be a ghost: this does not mean "don't be quiet". Some people aren't as keen on role-play, and that is fine. What I am referring to, is people exiting with no word or explanation. If our game is not your cup-of-tea, that is absolutely fine, and I hope that you find a better fit soon. If that is the case, please let us know. I always appreciate feedback, and that way we can fill the spot, and the game doesn't grind to a halt whilst we find explanations as to why your character isn't there.

How will character creation work

http://pathbuilder2e.com or https://wanderersguide.app/ are both great assets for character creation, and the character sheets will be generated and maintained within our Foundry VTT world. I also run a "see how it fits" policy. For 2 sessions, if you realise that a feat is not what you envisioned, or doesn't work how you thought it would, you can swap it out for a different one (provided the parameters are still met). There are a ton of options in PF2e, and I don't want to cause anxiety or choice paralysis! I am always available to chat. If you aren't sure about how something works, the practical use of something, which feats would fit the concept, what the terminology means, please do not hesitate to ask. You aren't pestering me, you don't need to feel bad, I really love character creation and enjoy helping!
