About the adventure
Starting at 6th level, you will head into the mysterious lighthouse called Gauntlight. The abandoned lighthouse glows with a baleful light, and the people of Otari suspect it’s an ominous prelude to sinister events. Heroes must explore the ruins around the lighthouse and delve into the dungeon levels below. Hideous monsters, deadly traps, and vengeful ghosts await the heroes who dare to enter the sprawling mega-dungeon called the Abomination Vaults!

About me
I have a varied background as a Veteran (US Navy), Developer, RPGA Triad Member, Strategist, and Business Leader. I have published my own works of fantasy and sci-fi fiction. I enjoy developing personalities, and I role-play with gusto! I work hard to include all the players in the campaign experience. ✂ I manage a shared campaign called the Provocateur campaign with a troupe of talented authors, artists, GMs, and technical staff in our discord. All of the Discord community members have access to play in that campaign. https://discord.gg/thesteadywizard ✂ My Discord community and game sessions are trauma-informed safe spaces. Maintaining a safe, fun, and respectful space is always my top priority. All participants are treated with respect in my sessions regardless of ethnicity, nationality, gender, or sexuality. ✂ I use the Foundry Virtual Table Top, hosted on Forge. I pride myself on providing a world-class VTT experience. Additionally, I have multiple Foundry VTT licenses that allow on-demand access to your game world.

Creating your character
🌑 SESSION ZERO & CAMPAIGN LAUNCH 🌑 Players may choose to create characters using Herolab Online or Pathbuilder. Additionally, players can create their character in our Foundry World. Once characters are drafted, we will introduce and review them for completeness during Session Zero. Variant rules for this adventure path vary by each campaign. Check the adventure listing to determine if Ancestry Paragon, Free Archetype, or Automatic Bonus Progression are in effect for this campaign. 🌓JOINING THE CAMPAIGN IN FLIGHT 🌓 Players will create their character at the current campaign level. The character has starting equipment outlined in the Player's Guide and will be given additional equipment to match the other players Characters may receive additional starting equipment or magic items based on the current story line.
This campaign starts with the Menace Under Otari (Beginner Box, level 1), moves into Troubles in Otari (2nd to 5th), and then launches into a modified Abomination Vaults (6th to 17th level). This is a great campaign to challenge your character with intense dungeon crawl combat and some light role-playing. Campaign details: Free Archetype Gradual Ability Boost Milestone Advancement
What to expect
Preparing for the session
💻 HARDWARE & SOFTWARE 💻 Players need a computer, a mouse 🖱, and a web browser that meets the Foundry VTT system requirements. Players will also need a quality microphone 🎤 that allows the player to be heard in Discord. The microphone needs the ability to be muted. I also recommend that players have a webcam 📷 and can stream video; Steaming video assists in building relationships and reduces misunderstandings during sessions. Streaming video is not required to play in this campaign. ✂ My Foundry VTT is hosted at forge-vtt.com. When you first attempt to join the VTT, you will be asked to make a Forge (free) account. I use a boosted Discord community to make announcements, manage campaign communications, and host the campaign sessions. ✂ Players should read the free Players Guide provided by Paizo. Players should build a vibrant character with a detailed background that complements the campaign setting. Players should review my policies and guidelines on my discord server: https://discord.gg/thesteadywizard 🌐
