Hell's Rebels 2e | Overthrow The Devil's Tyranny! Defeat the Evil Empire | Beginner Friendly, Level 3

Creating your character

You should have a character idea ready for our first meeting. A chosen level 1 character must be input into Foundry VTT by the end of session 0 (I will help with this!). Players who join later will make characters at the same level as the rest of the party. Custom backgrounds designed for the adventure are available. If you would like access to the 2nd Edition Hell's Rebels Player's Guide, please let me know. Rare and uncommon character aspects will be subject to GM approval, but I am very nice, I promise. We will use the standard 'Boosts & Flaws' method of stat generation (listed here: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=66). You are welcome to use Pathbuilder to design your character. Variant rules to be used will be decided in our session 0. Don't know what any of this is? Don't worry, as I will provide all the links, guidance, and resources you need ✨

Preparing for the session

You will need a mic and a computer with a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Firefox. You will also need accounts with Discord and the Forge (free level is fine). I can send you links to all of these. Not sure if your computer can handle Foundry? Try the demo here in your browser: https://foundryvtt.com/demo I am happy to use video, but you are not obliged to. If you do wish to use video, you will need some kind of webcam. You don't need to know the Pathfinder 2e rules in advance. However, please bring one or more fantasy character concepts to our first meeting - if you can't think of one I can provide a premade character in the meantime.

What Jay brings to the table

I will provide Foundry virtual tabletop with music, remade maps, and virtual dice. I will also provide lots of enthusiasm! We will be using my Discord server with private channels for the game. Premade characters will be available should you want one. Regarding rule adherence: I stick to the rules in combat, but allow cool things that are not game-breaking. Outside of combat things flow a bit more freely, and I love creative solutions! I have run multiple Adventure Paths to completion, including this one, and am open to adjusting or sticking to the story as the party prefers. This adventure path has a decent amount of combat and social scenes, usually in stretches of one followed by the other. I would describe it as high-RP, but it has dungeon-crawling too.

How Jay creates a safe table

Our first meeting will be a session 0. We will discuss safety tools, session length and campaign expectations, and any character set-up that needs doing - we may also run a 'non-canon' test combat if we have time. Safety tools: all lines and veils (i.e. things you don't want in the game) should be sent to me, and I will anonymize them and ensure the group is aware of where not to tread. We will also have an anonymous X-card button available, and the N- and O-cards can be typed into chat or my DMs at any point. The content warnings include the most significant 'warning-worthy' topics in the campaign. If there are other content warnings you need to know about, please let me know and we can discuss how to make you most comfortable. I am also happy to work with players to remove triggering content from the plot, as your fun and comfort is what's most important. This is a political adventure, which revolves around bringing down an authoritarian dictatorship and replacing it. This dictatorship engages in awful practices, but the point of the story is that you defeat them.
