Night Below: A Darklands Adventure
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The Darklands is a subterranean wonderland, a vast and twisted labyrinth where fear reigns. It is the home of horrific monsters that have never seen the light of day. As prisoners of the nefarious drow, you find yourselves forced to band together to escape, but your exploration of the Darklands uncovers an insidious conspiracy that could well spell the end of civilization in the world above as you know it.
You will be joining a group of level 4 adventures on the cusp of level five. We are using Ancestry Paragon, Free Archetype, and a variation on the ABP ruleset.

Im playing a few campaigns with chris and i must say he is great. Im new to ttrpgs and he has been very helpful and has never gotten annoyed by my millions of questions. I would recommend him to new players or vets.

This has only been my first session with Chris, but let me tell you: His style of DMing is exactly what I've been looking for for a long time. Often when you do paid sessions DMs feel like they need to provide combat or high action packed sessions, rushing the story forward, but Chris wasn't like this at all. He promotes players to actually roleplay their characters, have them interact with each other, and allow players to actually develop their characters. When he's playing NPCs he voice acts them, in hilarious, interactive and amazing ways, even using different languages he learned during his travels, which really brings the World to life. He's a true inspiration and any aspiring DMs would really enjoy seeing his style of DMing, because it shows you what could be and that you should not be scared to use that same style of DMing.

Played with Chris for years. Best homebrew, immersion and knowledge. Intelligent DM allowing for realistic player creativity.

Really great start of the session and of this campaign. Chris managed to create a sense of union among the players right away while also the campign felt to be a really dense and curated asset for us to play. Totally reccomended.

Chris is an amazing GM. He puts a ton of effort into his games and is really committed to giving characters instantly-recognizable voices that make figuring out who is speaking a complete non-issue. He's great at listening to character ideas and potential game concerns. I have a very unusual trigger and he was kind and conscientious about it in our session 0. He aims for a good split between combat and roleplay, and as a roleplayer-first, I appreciate having the room to give my character life. Chris is excellent at making sure everyone gets at least a little bit of the spotlight each game.

GM is always prepared, entertaining, challenging, supportive, and fun to game with. Games are well balanced between RP and combat and the team really enjoys them.

How to prepare
While you may begin to prepare your character as soon as you've read the player's guide, there will be ample time to workshop your character before your first session. You'll need a Discord, Roll20, and Forge account to participate fully and a Syrinscape account if you'd like ambient audio.
What I provide
I have been GMing for 26 years and doing so professionally for three years, running forty hours of paid Pathfinder and Pathfinder 2e weekly. Over the years, I've amassed an exhaustive collection of official and 3PP content (I have four active Paizo subscriptions for PF2e content), and have collected a truly impressive collection of high-quality maps and tokens. In addition to being a professionally trained actor, I am also a professional writer, and I provide weekly session summaries of 1,000+ words. Multiple Nerdgasms boasts an active Discord community of 80+ members, five servers for FoundryVTT, a pro Syrinscape subscription for ambient audio, and much more.
Gameplay details
All of my campaigns begin with a session zero in which we discuss potentially triggering content and safety tools, workshop how best to fit a character into the campaign's narrative, and I provide an overview of the campaign. We use Lines & Veils to categorize potentially troublesome content, with X/N/O cards for any incidences of in-game discomfort. I also provide after care.
