Triumph of the Tusk [Pathfinder 2e] (ND- and ๐ณ๏ธโ๐-Friendly)
Fully automated luxury Foundry adventure path featuring orcs
About the adventure
For ages, the orcs of Belkzen have been marginalized, subjugated, and vilified, relegated to the rocky northern wastes. Yet in recent battles waged against their undead nemeses, orcs showed the world that they have a common enemyโthe evil lich-lord known as the Whispering Tyrant. Now, openminded leaders like Ardax the White-Hair have initiated a grand diplomatic campaign to bury old grudges and forge alliances across the continent! Each player is a low-ranking dignitary representing a foreign state, an organization, one of the many orc holds, or even just their own personal ambitions as they seek opportunities in a more welcoming Belkzen. If they survive, theyโll become respected advisors and warriors working to preserve (and even unify) Belkzen. If they fail, they might bear witness to the latest tragedy in orc history. โ๏ธ Fully automated luxury Foundry module ๐ Free Archetype variant ๐ Character-focused subplots ๐งโโ๏ธ Intriguing NPC interactions ๐ฅ Immersive action ๐๏ธ Voice acting

About me
Howdy, I'm Alan and I tend to allow shenanigans at my table! The first time I ever played a role-playing game, we used the manual for Icewind Dale 2, since actual rulebooks were not available in our quaint Polish town. Things have changed since then. I have a beard now! And actual rulebooks. My actual play inspirations are Dimension 20 and NADDPOD. I enjoy crafting stories with my players, designing surprising encounters, and doing silly voices. I strive to mix old-school charm with modern-day sensibilities.

Inclusive
Creativity
Storytelling
Alan is a very kind and thoughtful DM that will work with you to make you feel welcome, safe, and to create whatever character and story arc you'd like to see through. Best for rp-heavy players who want to craft a story, and I cannot recommend him enough. He does terrific voices, has a ton of patience for questions and explanations, and is an all-around good guy. I really couldn't ask for a better DM.
Alan tells a fast-paced yet easy-to-follow story. He comes up with people, places, and events to throw at the party, but then follows the party's lead when game time comes. When the party and/or the dice throw a wrench in his plans, he'll go that new direction instead, wherever it leads. There's always time for PCs to roleplay, and good roleplay can solve problems. As it turns out, these two things instantly make everyone at the table quite a bit better at roleplaying. Which in turn helps everyone get invested in the plot. How do we have time for all this story and roleplay? Simple: we don't do much combat. I don't consider this a negative; combat takes up a lot of time, and without it it's amazing how much you can get done. I have a different game that's all combat, so I get my fill there. Note that your table may vary: Alan offers opportunities for combat when it makes sense, and our party usually chooses a different approach.
Character creation
Creating your character
Players will need to create level 3 characters (I strongly recommend using https://pathbuilder2e.com/). Ancestries, backgrounds, and classes up to Uncommon are freely available. Please ask before using a Rare option. Please familiarize yourself with the free Players Guide for this adventure path: https://downloads.paizo.com/TriumphOfTheTusk_PlayersGuide.pdf
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a computer, a Discord account, and a working microphone. A webcam might be a plus but isn't necessary. All character creation should be finalized before session 1 begins.
What Alan brings to the table
Extensive knowledge of the rules (with special mention to the Rule of Cool), music, story arcs for every character, and silly voices.

Safety
How Alan creates a safe table
I make use of lines and veils and work to help my players feel safe and comfortable during play. Everything will be discussed during session 0. My games are neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly, as I myself am both.
