About the adventure

🔪Dark secrets surround the house and the Xarwin family 📖Uncover the hidden history and turn the evil against itself 🦑Cosmic horror, dark themes, murder and betrayal! 🌟Use the "Malevolence" subsystem to track your corruption as the house fights back 🧑‍🎓Malevolence is a level 3-5 adventure for Pathfinder 2e! Malevolence tells the story of the Xarwin family, a tale of murder, betrayal and corruption. Knowledge is as potent a weapon as a blade, discovering the history of the haunted manor and using that knowledge against the horrors you'll find is your only hope of survival. This is a short term of adventure, perfect for those who want to play but can't commit to a years long campaign! Free Archetype allowed! *I live in Malaysia, so for me, the game starts at 8am. I wake up an hour before the session, so don't stress if you don't hear from me until then* Hear what my players are saying! - "Runs a tight game, very descriptive, knows Foundry well, and keeps a great pace. Highly recommended, especially for new PF2e players like myself." "The game is run very smoothly, flowing well between encounters and exploration. There's a great sense of the atmosphere and mood of the dungeon, partly because the VTT is so immersive but also because the GM is great at evoking the details of each location." "I've been playing in Mr Manifesto's Abomination Vaults campaign for a while now, and I highly recommend him. I was a Pathfinder newbie but Mr Manifesto was patient and took the time to explain the rules clearly and answer all my questions. He also posts brief recaps of each session to Discord, which are incredibly helpful for remembering the important details and getting back into the game. His laid-back attitude and deep knowledge of both Pathfinder and Foundry create a relaxed and enjoyable experience."

About me

I'm a DM with over 7 years of experience running DnD 5e and have made the switch to Pathfinder 2e! I have run numerous one shots and full campaigns, including a homebrew campaign set in Lamordia. I pride myself on detailed, in depth worlds full of rich history and chances to influence the world in whatever way the players want! I have had the pleasure of running for players from US, Canada, France, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. I like to think that gathering such different perspectives has helped me round out my experiences with influences from varied cultures from all over the world. I run games on FoundryVTT and enjoy anything from hack n slash dungeon crawls to eldritch horror to intrigue. I run a Session Zero to make sure that I know what the expectations and desired story beats are for each player and will do my best to incorporate their back stories into the game. I'm confident that I can create a game that will suit your preference! I am available for questions any time so please let me know if you have any. Thank you!

Character creation

Creating your character

We will create level 3 character together using either an online character creator or directly into Foundry, I can help with either. We will follow the standard character creation rules and will reach around level 5 by the end of the campaign.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need... - a working internet connection and a mic - a quiet place to play - an account at Forge and Discord (both are free) - knowledge of the rules is nice but not necessary

What Game Meowster brings to the table

I have detailed maps and lighting effects and have a music bot I will play music through. We will use Discord for voice, please msg me if you're interested so I can provide you a link to the Discord.

Homebrew rules

I have some small changes. Aid DC is the DC of the thing you're attempting -2, reactions are able to be used before your first turn, fly speed is the same whether going up or down. A couple other small things, message me for more info but its nothing big.

Safety

How Game Meowster creates a safe table

This game contains themes of domestic violence. I'm totally fine with fading to black and not going into too much detail about those aspects.
