TRIUMPH OF THE TUSK | Level 3-12 Orc Adventure!

TRIUMPH OF THE TUSK | Level 3-12 Orc Adventure!

Pathfinder 2e | Campaign

About the adventure

For ages, the orcs of Belkzen have been marginalized, subjugated, and vilified, relegated to the rocky northern wastes. Yet in recent battles waged against their undead nemeses, orcs showed the world that they have a common enemy—the evil lich-lord known as the Whispering Tyrant. Now, openminded leaders like Ardax the White-Hair have initiated a grand diplomatic campaign to bury old grudges and forge alliances across the continent. There are few takers. In the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, the PCs are dignitaries representing the few orc communities or foreign organizations who answered Ardax's call. Their mission of peace soon turns violent when supernatural weather disasters, betrayals, undead uprisings, and even deicide turn the orcs' homeland into a desperate battlefield. With the PCs' help, Belkzen won't just survive, but will earn the respect it has always deserved! The Resurrection Flood is an orc-focused Pathfinder adventure for four 3rd-level characters. The adventure begins the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, a three-part campaign in which an eclectic band of dignitaries become battle-hardened survivalists fighting for orcs' homeland and independence. This volume includes an overview of orc culture, an exploration of the Flood Truce tradition, new magical items, and fearsome creatures that wander the wilds! Experience this Adventure Path using the full suite of Foundry VTT features, using maps, tiles, tokens, sounds, and much more to bring you an experience which truly cannot be experienced in the same way anywhere else. 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! - Hero Point variant: Hero Points will add 10 to any roll below 10 with the exception of a natural 1. You may also spend them to make me reroll a d20. 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.

This was my first time playing with Panda and my first time playing Pathfinder / Starfinder. It feels very complicated, but with Panda's help the adventure ticked along and the group was patient with my questions. He gave the world energy and atmosphere and allowed me to try cinematic things in a system I was unfamiliar with. I'm looking forward to the next session in the campaign.

Absolutely amazing GM. Knows his prepped material but also easily adapts when we (inevitably) go off the rails. Amazing ambiance and scene setting both auditory and visual. Funny as hell and easily draws you in and manages the tone when things are serious.

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. 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

I have maps, tokens, art, animated features on the VTT, a vibrant Discord server, pdfs for the rules, and the fully-loaded Foundry VTT set-up built up from the official Paizo release. I will be available as frequently as I can for questions, I am inclusive and allow for creative solutions, and I have a fairly extensive knowledge of the system. It is very fun!

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!
