About the adventure
The world of Xilaria is a place torn by the abandoment of the gods, wild magic surges all around. Cults are born around places where wild magic surges, fear empowers it to create monsters, but hope is as effective if what you are looking for is guidance. Look for wild magic, understandit, use it, look for the gods or become one. The campaign is planned to have multiple narrative arcs and personal arcs for the player's character, but the world is designed to be an open world sanbox experince where the player can freely explore the world and their character. This would be my first time running a Pathfinder 2e campaign.

About me
Hello, my name is Atenea (Athena in Spanish), I love to run games and tell a story alongside other people. I enjoy the way TTRPG let you do this. I've played 5e for almost 10 years and I have become very familiar Pathfinder 2e and would love to start running games in that system. I can DM in English and Spanish (Spanish is my first language).

Creating your character
We are going to create characters on session zero, ideally the player should have a concept for their character, but it is not requiered. The player can also bring an old prebuilt character if thats what they prefer.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players are expected to have a decent internet conetion and to be familiar with Pathfinder 2e rules, no to know them but at least to have an idea of the system. Discord will be used for comunication so you need a microphone, and ideally the player should have a webcam for roleplaying their character, but it is not required.
What Atenea la Diácona brings to the table
We will play in Fountry VTT with the Pathfinder 2e system. Some of the battlemaps of the campaign will be created by myself. I like (but I'm still learing, specially in English) to do different voices for different characters; I enjoy thorowing a lot of role play enconters with multiple ways of navegating the situation, and I enjoy a lot of interaction between PCs; I have not DMed a heavy dungeon crwal campaign, but I really enjoy designing dungeon so I'm open to having a heavy dungeon crwal campagin. While I try to stay more or less in line with the rules (I tend to not be that strict with rules like carring capacity) I'm definitely open that if you sell me something and have good roleplay I might allow it.

How Atenea la Diácona creates a safe table
In session 0 we will discuss if the campagin will be realistic and gritty, or relaxed and light hearted, or something in between, I try to adjust the feeling depening on what the group wants; we will also talk about what are the experiences that the group would like to have in the campagin, lots of combat or lots of role play, etc. We will also create characts and discuss the story of the character and some characteristics that might help the player in regards to the roleplay of the character. In 3 or more hour sessions I usually give 20 minutes more or less in the middle of the sessions so players can get some snacks, water, go to the bathroom, etc. In sessions shorter that 3 hours I usually give a 10 minute break to go to the bathroom or grab some water, but I encourge players to bring snacks form the beginning of the session so we can use as much time as possible to play the game. I will always try to have a group conversation at the end of each session to discuss what players liked, didn't like, and what suggestions they have. I also keep open voice and written channels for feedback and I will constantly ask how a player is feeling one on one so they can express safely if there is something bothering them. The game will always be and open door game, where the players can take indefinite breaks if someone need them.
