About the adventure

In this Adventure we will be starting with the beginner box so that all players have a base understanding of the PF2e Remastered rules and their implementation in foundry. This learning prequal will get the characters to level 2. This eases the transition into the very difficult Abomination Vaults Adventure path. Beginner box: The small seaside town of Otari is known for its fresh fish and a source of lumber for the nearby metropolis of Absalom. But when something dark begins to menace the town, it’s up to a band of freelancers to come together and make a name for themselves. Abomination Vaults When the mysterious Gauntlight, an eerie landlocked lighthouse, glows with baleful light, the people of Otari know something terrible is beginning. The town's newest heroes must venture into the ruins around the lighthouse and delve the dungeon levels far beneath it to discover the evil the Gauntlight heralds. Hideous monsters, deadly traps, and mysterious ghosts all await the heroes who dare to enter the sprawling megadungeon called the Abomination Vaults!

About me

I have been playing RPGs for over 30 years and have GMed games for 25 of those years. I like to run character centric games with an even balance of combat. I started in D&D 2nd edition and eventually moved into the Pathfinder RPG. I have played the Pathfinder roleplay game since its first edition came out in 2009 and was involved in the second edition play test. Gaming is for everyone and should be a fun experience for all!

Played 30 sessions

Jared is an outstanding Dungeon Master who brings his worlds to life with incredible preparation and creativity. His sessions are immersive, with rich lore, dynamic NPCs, and engaging challenges that balance combat and roleplay. As a new player, he was extremely helpful with character creation, making the process smooth and enjoyable.

Outstanding GM!!! Ok - so I've been playing games for around 30 years, and I love playing in Jared's games! He truly does a fantastic job incorporating any backstory elements you can share - which makes the experience that much richer. He's also a wizard with Foundry VTT (which should not be overlooked). Enjoying the dynamic lighting and ambient sounds as you navigate a murky dungeon or pristine forest adds a whole new level of immersion to the game. He's got a great sense of humor and is happy to join-in when out-of-character banter rules the moment, but he always gets things back on track in a respectful and timely fashion. He wants to game as much as I do, so game-time is always top of mind! Whether he's running an official adventure path, or an entirely homebrew setting, Jared approaches each game with creativity and excitement that always leaves me looking forward to our next session!

Jared is great at incorporating character backstories into the overall narrative, whether he's running an existing module or something in a setting of his own making. Very good at balancing encounters when it comes to combat, as well.

I've seen Jared amaze players by building epic sagas around their character concepts, kindly help players have fun with new systems, and keep games balanced and fun even when players throw crazy character builds at him. If you get a chance to play with this guy, do it. He's a great game master.

Jared is great! He actually reached out to me after a different gm had said their group was too full. I’m new to the game and he is very patient in his explanations. I’ve played in two of his campaigns now and had a great time in both.

Jared is a great gm, he lets the players have fun while keeping the story going, and not letting anything get out of hand. I played as a beginner and never had any problems. I tried to then play with another gm and had to quit the game, not realizing just how good he was and thinking every game would be just as good.

Character creation
Creating your character

Character Creation will be done in session 0 and will be done and kept in foundry VTT. Characters will begin at level 1 and the adventure will conclude at approximately level 10. We will be using experience points to level not story or event based leveling because of the nature of a sandboxy Mega dungeon.

The current party

On request I can content share my PF2e books from demi plane to active players in my games. https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/pathfinder2e If the majority of players want to skip the beginner box we can do that as well.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Players are expected to have a microphone and a Discord account. All voice will be through discord. A basic familiarity with the PF2E rule set is preferred but I am happy to teach the system as needed. Players should be familiar with the Players guide for Abomination vaults. It is free and available from Paizo's website

What Jared brings to the table

The game will be played on Foundry VTT using the Premium modules for the beginner box and Abomination Vaults. Ambient and mood music will be played during the game to help set the tone. The Foundry PF2e system is fairly automated and I will teach how to use it if needed. I will also have animations for spells and attacks where possible. I love to have my players come up with creative solutions. They are what makes the game fun and come alive. While most of the time we will be following RAW if you come up with something amazing its going to happen. The coin goes both ways however, and monsters and enemies will try to kill you characters. Sometimes they will but hopefully it makes a epic and memorable part of the story. I have been a GM since for over 25 years so telling a compelling story is important to me. Player interaction in character is a must for me as well as with NPCs. not all problems will be solved by bonking the monsters on the head. While this is a mega dungeon it will be our mega dungeon and the story we tell will be unique.
