About the adventure
The Red Mantis Assassins have struck fear in the hearts of the Inner Sea for a millennia. Worshippers of a cold, callous god, they swoop in on their prey with ruthless efficiency, refusing to back down until their dreaded sawtoothed sabres have spilled the life blood of their assigned target. For the right price, the Red Mantis will turn its gaze upon anyone - anyone, that is, except a rightful ruler. Now, a team of some of the Red Mantis's most capable members are en route to what they suspect is just another routine - if deadly - mission. The task is simple enough - slip past an army of men and monsters to slay a brutal warlord. What these assassins don't yet realize is that they are mere pawns in a conspiracy that has swept up not only the upper echelons of their own order but divinity itself. Prey for Death is a Pathfinder 2e Adventure Path taking a band of notorious assassins from level 14 to 18. You'll strike at nefarious targets, infiltrate tightly guarded fortresses, and find yourself at the center of a conspiracy with catastrophic ramifications for the very cosmos.

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!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters begin at level 14. Each player will create a character independently, but will be able to discuss their plans with the other players in our Discord server. All players will be members (or close allies) of the legendary Red Mantis Assassins, so it's best to play a character who will get along well with a team - avoid lone wolves! 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. I will have pregenerated characters available that you may use for as long as you wish.
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 intense battles and close calls as you advance on your targets, 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.
