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.

About me
G'day! My name is Chris and I have been DMing games of Dungeons & Dragons for 26 years. I am a professional GameMaster running 40+ hours of PF1e and PF2e every week, with more than 50 paying customers spread across ten weekly campaigns. Not only do I have a pro subscription on Roll20, but I also own every available Roll20 resource for D&D 5e. I also own five Foundry VTT licenses with Forge hosting. Additionally, I have an extensive collection of tokens, a massive collection of high-quality battle maps, custom status tokens, a Syrinscape subscription, a private Discord server with a thriving community of more than 70 players, and a truly colossal collection of third-party reference materials (over 1,000 titles).

Creating your character
We will be using standard Pathfinder 2e rules for this campaign. We will also be using a variant of Automatic Bonus Progression, as well as Gradual Ability Boosts.
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.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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 Chris brings to the table
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.

How Chris creates a safe table
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.
