About me
👋 - Hey for hi, folks. 👶 - I am a stay-at-home father to a newborn, and that means I am now GMing as my full time job. 🏃 - I have run games without cessation for the last fourteen years. 🖊️ - I customize my games to my players, weaving their characters into the world. 👨🏫 - I love teaching people new systems. No experience is no problem. 🏳️🌈 - I run a safe, inclusive space. Bigotry has no place at my tables. 🎲 - My current favored systems are Pathfinder 2nd Edition and Lancer.

Creating your character
🏁 - Characters will start at 11th level. They do not have to be created prior to Session 0, but feel free to have concepts. 📜 - Actual finalization of characters will happen at Session 0 for the sake of weaving into the narrative of the world and coordination between players. 🔨 - Characters will be created on a Forge server for easy and at-will cloud access. 📏 - Variant rules will include Automatic Bonus Progression, Gradual Boosts, Free Archetype (unrestricted), and Ancestry Paragon.
Current Party: Magus - Inexorable Iron, Investigator/Champion Archetypes Kineticist - Air and Wood, Medic/Rogue Archetypes Wizard - Protean Form (Transmuter), Wrestler/Gladiator Archetypes Summoner - Beast Eidolon, Primal Sorc Archetype Unfamiliar with PF2e but want to try it?

What to expect
Preparing for the session
🎤 - Players should have a microphone for speaking and a way to listen to audio without creating echo. If one's environment is noisy, one may be asked to use push-to-talk or be diligent about muting when not speaking. 💬 - Players should join the Discord link provided in the preparation materials. Players should similarly create an account on Forge, a link to which will also be provided. 📜 - Players may wish to review the rules of Pathfinder 2e online for free at their convenience. Note that I am more than happy to teach the system if anyone is unfamiliar. Link: https://2e.aonprd.com/ 🏠 - I run some house rules for PF2e. While Session 0 will consist of going over them, you may review them here. Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Ekx0a-5oV1qjL1gKd9KuHzaVSdVyMSoAeqk1q6x3J8/edit#heading=h.qoev7ctcjpht

Safety
How Malkyn creates a safe table
⚠️ - Session 0 will be used to discuss all other safety tools. I will have a document to record lines and veils and people may elect to add to it anonymously. We will review content warnings and if any of those listed are an issue for anyone for any reason, the adventure's content can be changed with no explanation or justification needed. 🎴 - I will have private channels for players to send me messages aside with the Discord group. People may use these to communicate the X Card. ⏸️ - We will take breaks for both biological and cooling off reasons, and anyone who needs to step away from the table even when no break has been declared can do so. 🫖 - I also spend time in the voice call after - and ideally before - session talking about anything to anyone, including but not limited to the game.
