About the adventure

Abomination Vaults is simply put a dungeoncrawl where you will be moving your characters on a beautiful map in real time and enter room by room to contend with the obstacles therein, not only will you have to make battle with terrible monsters and people but also make deals with them if you choose, you will also have to contend with the environment from handling traps and haunting events to utilizing the different obstacles and elevations and even the same traps that would harm you against your enemies, using your wits instead of brute force could be the difference that saves your lives. this game is for those who love to experience a modern take on the classic formula of megadungeons that were popularized in the early editions of Dungeons and Dragons. In addition to that there is an overlaying theme of dread and mystery that oozes from every corner that is perfectly suited for lovers of eldritch horror and strange locals that will keep you motivated to delve deeper and discover more about the ancient dungeon. But Dungeoncrawling isn't all that you can be doing, as you will often return to the seaside town of Otari whose folk are intrinsically tied to strange place where your adventures will take place giving you reasons to connect and learn about them as they can have knowledge, advice and warnings about what you can possible to meet there. and should you prove yourselves with the folk then they will in turn do what they can to make your life easier.

How to prepare

In order to prepare for the game make sure you have the following: 🎙️ Having a working mic and a relatively quiet environment or using push to talk is a must as we will be using voice chat as the primary way to communicate and play, a webcam is not required but the option is there to use it should everyone be comfortable with it 🧾 you must have a discord account and a forge-vtt account, the latter being a hosting service where the game will be on using the Foundry VTT, both are free to use. 📖 This game is geared towards all experience levels even those who have never played before, but you still need to have made some research into the game and its rules before hand. this way you can understand what kind of character you want to play and if this game is even for you. 📜 Reading the player guide for the abomination vaults is highly advised as it will give you much needed info about the setting and game expectations. here is the link to it https://downloads.paizo.com/AbominationVaults_PlayersGuide.pdf ✅ finally most important of all, a willingness to have fun and communicate with your fellow players and me to make this game the most fun it can be for everyone.

What I provide

All that you can expect from a professionally made Foundry VTT module in addition to all the supplementary modifications that elevate the online experience using a highly curated mod lists that is free from most of the complications some mods have on lower end computers. I make sure to give every NPC a slightly different voice in order to immerse my players and differentiate who they are talking to as well as using the abomination vaults soundtrack supplemented by additional music for added immersion. I'm a rules as written DM at heart and believe that everyone being on the same page about what can and cannot happen is important when playing a game that for the most part takes place in our collective imagination, that does not mean I will never bend the rules if it comes to something appropriate and cool as story and player enjoyment always trumps rules for me. Because of my attention to the rules I'm also a highly tactical GM who knows how to elevate the stakes and get the blood flowing when it comes to combat, and since I already ran 1/3 of the abomination vaults campaign already I have acquired valuable information that I will be using to iron out any issues I ran in the first time as well as being prepared to make changes depending on your feedback and desires.

Gameplay details

We will be starting with a free session 0 where we will go through the different safety tools I'm implementing and getting to know each other and once that's done we will jump into what to expect of the game and a few guidelines on how to make characters that would fit with such a long term Mega dungeoncrawl by connecting them to the lands around the Vaults and explain why your characters have been involved into this situation. Once that's done the fun part starts as we talk party comp and who wants to play what, this game is ready for new players and as such I'm available during and after session 0 to help the making of your character to fit your vision. We will be using Pathbuilder to first set up the sheets before i will upload them to Foundry VTT and get them ready for use on session 1.

How will character creation work

Character creation will be taking place during session 0 as we all get together to talk about our game expectations and get to know each other. the assumptions is that everyone will be exchanging ideas and make a party comp that will complement each other but of course no one will need to play a certain party role for the sake of survival as I'm a very flexible GM and will change the game difficulty depending on the players and their tastes. now when it comes to the rules of character creation they are as follow: ✅ Starting level will be 1 ✅ All classes are allowed however there will be recommendations provided by the player guide and me to help those who are undecided or wish to make sure they have the right class for the adventure. ✅ All Common ancestries are allowed, Uncommon will probably be allowed as well just let me know and Rare will require more looking into to see if they will fit into the region and the story. ✅ Backgrounds must be either general, regional or from the Abomination vaults player guide which I recommend if you want a deeper connection to the themes of the game but its not necessary ✅ Alignment is no longer a thing in PF2e however the spirit of it is still there and as such overall Evil characters might not fit especially if they are lone wolf or are about getting all the glory and treasure at the expense of their allies. if you wanna play a morally ambiguous character then be careful to not ruin the fun of the others ✅ Free Archetype is allowed to round out characters and give more customization as well as Variant Attribute Boosts for the same reasons. And of course if there are any requests or things the players don't want we can talk about as I'm very flexible.
