About the adventure

The infamous Red Mantis assassins are feared throughout the world for their ruthlessness and legacy—those they slay stay dead! Yet they are not without honour, so when a group of assassins sent on a dangerous mission are met with unexpected treachery, they must clear their own names while remaining true to their murderous calling, even as greater plots and shocking truths reveal themselves. Prey for Death is a deluxe hardcover Pathfinder Second Edition adventure for 14th-level characters, and gives players the chance to play members of the world's most notorious assassin's guild. The adventure also includes new items, lore, and character backgrounds, as well as several powerful monsters ready to threaten high-level characters! Variant Rules: - Free Archetype: take a Dedication to give another dynamic to your character - Critical Hit/Fumble Deck: Let's make those natural 20s count with extra effects! - Hero Point variant: Hero Points will add 10 to any roll below 10 with the exception of a natural 1. You may also spend them to make me reroll a d20. Play-by-Post is a text-based method of experiencing tabletop games. It is far more suited to those with busy lives, unpredictable schedules, or who just like taking that extra bit of time to work out exactly what their character would do or say. It is slower than live, but still as fulfilling, fun, and can be more creative. I will push for daily posts, regular updates, and engaged momentum. It is the best way to avoid stagnation, although the odd day off is generally a good idea. I look forward to playing with you!

How to prepare

Just join the Discord! I'll go through how to set up your character and our game expectations, and we'll go from there. https://discord.gg/FEkRQTVBQk

What I provide

I use a number of assets and features to allow for a great PbP experience. I use Harpy VTT for a PbP-focused platform; Discord for admin and management; official art and appropriate scene artwork; playlists for immersion; and a professional yet down-to-earth style to make you feel welcome but give you the Premium experience.

Gameplay details

I like to follow the rules but allow for creative solutions and some appropriate bending. Combat should aim to be snappy, and I make sure that everyone knows when their turn is approaching so that they have plenty of time to think and react. Table Etiquette: - This is a game: having fun is always the first goal. This expands to all players - GM included. - Respect the team: racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, or any other toxic and disgraceful behaviour will not be tolerated. We are all human beings, so let's celebrate that. - Communication is key: conflict happens, and often enhances the game as a whole. Make sure that you check in with everyone so that we can be clear about where that conflict stops. - Be reasonable and clear with your expectations: every character has a story, and campaigns can take a while. I'll do my best to make sure that everyone feels that they have had valuable "screen-time", but I would also ask that you remain patient and respectful of the fact that the spotlight may shine on others for a time, too. That being said, I - as a mistake-prone and fallible human - will always take the time to listen and discuss any grievances. This refers back to the previous point. - Do not be a ghost: this does not mean "don't be quiet". Some people aren't as keen on role-play, and that is fine. What I am referring to, is people exiting with no word or explanation. If our game is not your cup of tea, that is absolutely fine, and I hope that you find a better fit soon. If that is the case, please let us know. I always appreciate feedback, and that way we can fill the spot, and the game doesn't grind to a halt whilst we find explanations as to why your character isn't there. For safety and comfort, there will be a document, as well as lines & veils being addressed before the adventure begins. An X can be sent to the chat or to me directly and we'll know to skip, fade, or retcon to allow for maximum comfort for all players.

How will character creation work

http://pathbuilder2e.com or https://wanderersguide.app/ are both great options for character creation, and will be needed to work with the dice bot in Discord. I will also remove the cost of Pathbuilder from the first session so that you all have access to the full version. I also run a "see how it fits" policy. For a short time, if you realise that a feat is not what you envisioned, or doesn't work how you thought it would, you can swap it out for a different one (provided the parameters are still met). There are a ton of options in PF2e, and I don't want to cause anxiety or choice paralysis! I am always available to chat. If you aren't sure about how something works, the practical use of something, which feats would fit the concept, what the terminology means, please do not hesitate to ask. You aren't pestering me, you don't need to feel bad, I really love character creation and enjoy helping!
