About the adventure
Tar-Baphon. Fel necromancer. Tyrant. Despot. Lich. Once he has subjugated the Orcs. Once he has been denied. Now, Ardax the White-Hair seeks to form a coalition to bolster the orc lands of the Holds of Belkzen against this undead threat and the threat of those reticent to accept Orcs as equals. Calling upon the eight great Orc clans and representatives from outside organizations, Ardax wishes to forge alliances that can stand against the seen and unseen threats that press upon his people. Diplomat, warrior, merchant. All are needed but everyone who answers the call must have the strength to survive the Torrentmoot. Triumph of the Tusk is a three-part adventure that explores the beginnings of a new chapter in orc history, with the PCs starting at level 3. Each PC 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. Though this campaign focuses on orcs and the politics of Belkzen, PCs do not have to be orcs to participate meaningfully. If they survive, they’ll 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. 🏫To learn the PF2e system from the ground up! 🧙🏽♂️ A classic journey with that special Paizo spice sprinkled on top ☠️Unique monsters and NPCs with combat, exploration and for those that use their words as weapons...diplomancy 🎶Music, ambience and sound effects to make things that go bump in the night 📺Forge VTT with wonderful maps, custom tokens, spell effects and the entire game system built-in 🎭A wide range of custom characters with little to no restriction! Want to play a magical raccoon with big guns? Go for it. How about a teenage girl empowered by the constellations that transforms into her alter-ego under stress? Got it. If you can dream it, we can most likely build it! 🗡️And let's not forget riveting tactical combat where those juicy Nat 20's feel "oh so good"

Additional details
How to prepare
Links to Foundry VTT and a Discord will be provided prior to Session 0. Having accounts and some familiarity with these programs/websites will be helpful. All players at a minimum will require voice comms and internet/computer access for Foundry Vtt. Voice comms should be of relatively good quality with minimal background interference to make it easy for everyone to hear and understand. Webcams are not required though I will utilize mine. Finally, this being a campaign, for continuity sake I expect a 75% minimal attendance rate. I am understanding of emergencies and life events and if someone may need to step away for an extended amount of time. That said, if I notice lax attendance I am willing to have a chat and see if there are any issues that I can assist with or accommodations that can be made. Random no shows without warning are inconsiderate for the group as a whole and make crafting a narrative and group dynamics much more difficult to contend with. As in all aspects of life, communication is key and a small amount of communication can save a lot of headaches for everyone.
What I provide
🎲VTT utilizing the Rusthenge module with some custom maps/tokens/assets as required. I have a curated list of modules I've been using to enhance the experience on either side of the table. 🎙️I will be doing character voices (badly at times) there will be ambient music for those interested along with some interesting spell/combat effects. 🆒 Rule of cool is always on the table and with my experience with the system we can usually work it in. But, sometimes cool things are really hard to accomplish and sometimes untenable for the situation. I always make things explicit and will be clear with rulings 👊 No punches will be pulled in combat. Good planning and teamwork is rewarded via victory and minimizing risk. Gung-ho Rambo-esque "watch this, hold my drink" is always fun but comes with risks, so be warned.
Gameplay details
We will be utilizing Session 0 as a "vibe check" and also to lay out some grounds rules and expectations collaboratively for everyone involved. I have an open door policy where if anyone becomes uncomfortable they merely need to private message me and corrective actions will be taken. Finally, breaks will be scheduled but also taken as requested and a debriefing performed at end of session if I feel there are any concerns to be addressed.

How will character creation work
🆓We will have a session zero for character creation where the entire group can discuss and plan amongst themselves. I suggest having 2-4 loose concepts of what you would like to play! All published Paizo assets (minus other adventure paths) are available for use. I do not utilize 3rd party content but if a player wishes to I am willing to entertain the notion but the reasoning must be sound and convincing. Player Core 1 and 2 are both released with updates to the classes within those texts, along with the classes from: Secrets of Magic, Guns and Gears, Dark Archives, Rage of Elements and War of Immortals. If anyone wishes to use the playtest versions of the Commander or Guardian that can be accommodated but any tweaks to their current versions will not be guaranteed.
