About the adventure
Sky King's Tomb is a Pathfinder 2e Adventure Path taking heroes from level 1 to 11. You'll uncover ancient Dwarven lore, battle insidious subterranean foes, and make lifelong friends as you delve into the hidden past of the Dwarves of Highhelm. Beneath the mighty Emperor's Peak stands the legendary Sky Citadel Highhelm. For millennia, this metropolis has been the centre of Dwarven culture in Avistan. Clan Tolorr is hosting the Family Festival, an important event designed to celebrate Dwarven history, and they've invited scholars and heroes from across the lands to participate. This year, the Family Festival will go a bit differently - an unexpected interruption will set one small band of adventurers onto a quest that will upend everything the Dwarves believe about their place in Golarion.

About me
I've wanted to explore other worlds for as long as I've been able to speak and read. When a family friend placed a D&D manual in my tiny hands, they doomed me to a life spent in those other worlds. I don't regret a single moment spent there. I've been playing TTRPGs regularly for over twenty years now (more than half of them as an adult!), and have never gotten tired of it. Whether it's inhabiting the role of a character unlike myself or facilitating a world for other characters to trailblaze, I just can't get enough of this form of storytelling. One of my favorite parts of this hobby is watching how different people react to the circumstances of these worlds. That's why I love GMing so much - I can't wait to be surprised!

Creating your character
Characters begin at level 1. Each player will create a character independently, but will be able to discuss their plans with the other players in our Discord server. You will be given access to the Sky King's Tomb Player's Guide, which will help to inform your decisions. It's best to play a character who will get along well with a team - avoid lone wolves or sadistic evildoers! Additionally, this campaign features a close connection with Dwarven history and society - so try not to be a Dwarf-hater! I will be available to anybody who needs help making their character. Feel free to use any method of character creation you wish (Pathbuilder, Wanderer's Guide, a Google spreadsheet, etc) - I will ensure it is properly ported into our FoundryVTT server. If you've never played Pathfinder 2E and don't know how to make a character, fret not - I will have pregenerated characters available that you may use for as long as you wish. I will also assist you in making your own character and teach you the basics of the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Roleplaying Game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Every player will require a microphone. We'll be communicating via Discord for this campaign. We will play via FoundryVTT, which can be accessed via your web browser at no additional cost to you. If you have never used Foundry before, I will be happy to show you the ropes! Please seek out an image to represent your character - you can draw it yourself, find something online, commission an artist, etc. We'll use this image to represent you in the VTT, so be sure to pick something you'll be happy looking at for a long time! If you can't find anything, you can let me know and I will be happy to help the search.
What Simon Magnus brings to the table
I will provide FoundryVTT and all elements surrounding its use. I will be available outside of session hours to help with character creation. I will provide access to our Discord server. This will be home to our voice channel, as well as a text channel for use in our game.

Safety
How Simon Magnus creates a safe table
My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming table for people of all identities. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about content. I am happy to keep our conversations anonymous. This table does not tolerate hate speech or harassment towards other players. This campaign will feature a session 0 to set our expectations, as well as post-mortems after each session where you'll be able to voice any concerns, ideas, or other thoughts to the rest of the party. I aim to provide a fair, consistent game based on the Pathfinder 2e ruleset. You can expect some fierce challenges during your quest to uncover Dwarven legacy, so be prepared to be on your toes! My hope is that you'll never feel like I pushed the scales in either direction - the outcome of your adventures will depend on your own tactics, thinking, and the luck of the dice.
