About the adventure
A time of great upheaval has come for the Orcs of Belkzen. Ancient borders have been redrawn. Ancient enemies have become wary allies. Even the Gods have been struck down, leaving the Orcs to their own devices. All this in the aftermath of a tremendous victory against a wicked lich known as the Whispering Tyrant, their former master. Ardax the White-Hair has unified the Orcs in the wake of this victory, and now looks to cement the survival of the realm by establishing trade and alliances with its neighbors. But even as delegates from across the region arrive to meet the Orcish leaders and hear Ardax out, the Whispering Tyrant plots. Soon, the Spring rains will fall, and when they do, they will unearth horrors beyond imagining. Although they came as diplomats, one band of adventurers will embark on a tale of blood, dirt, and battle. At stake? The future of Orckind, and likely the future of Avistan itself. Triumph of the Tusk is a Pathfinder 2e Adventure Path taking heroes from level 3 to 12. You'll prove your mettle to the proud Belkzen Orcs, partake in epic battles, and come face to face with a dark remnant of the fallen divine. The Whispering Tyrant seeks to make you his thrall. Will you stand against him?

About me
I've wanted to explore other worlds for as long as I've been able to speak and read. When a family friend placed a D&D manual in my tiny hands, they doomed me to a life spent in those other worlds. I don't regret a single moment spent there. I've been playing TTRPGs regularly for over twenty years now (more than half of them as an adult!), and have never gotten tired of it. Whether it's inhabiting the role of a character unlike myself or facilitating a world for other characters to trailblaze, I just can't get enough of this form of storytelling. One of my favorite parts of this hobby is watching how different people react to the circumstances of these worlds. That's why I love GMing so much - I can't wait to be surprised!

Creating your character
Characters begin at level 3. Each player will create a character independently, but will be able to discuss their plans with the other players in our Discord server. You will be given access to the Triumph of the Tusk Player's Guide, which will help to inform your decisions. It's best to play a character who will get along well with a team - avoid lone wolves or sadistic evildoers! Importantly, this campaign assumes that you are a low-ranking diplomat - either from a nearby region, or from Belkzen itself. I will be available to anybody who needs help making their character. If you've never played Pathfinder 2E and don't know how to make a character, fret not - I will have pregenerated characters available that you may use for as long as you wish. I will also assist you in making your own character and teach you the basics of the Pathfinder 2nd Edition Roleplaying Game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Every player will require a microphone. We'll be communicating via Discord for this campaign. We will play via FoundryVTT, which can be accessed via your web browser at no additional cost to you. If you have never used Foundry before, I will be happy to show you the ropes! Please seek out an image to represent your character - you can draw it yourself, find something online, commission an artist, etc. We'll use this image to represent you in the VTT, so be sure to pick something you'll be happy looking at for a long time! If you can't find anything, you can let me know and I will be happy to help the search.
What Simon Magnus brings to the table
I will provide FoundryVTT and all elements surrounding its use. I will be available outside of session hours to help with character creation. I will provide access to our Discord server. This will be home to our voice channel, as well as a text channel for use in our game.

Safety
How Simon Magnus creates a safe table
My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming table for people of all identities. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about content. I am happy to keep our conversations anonymous. This table does not tolerate hate speech or harassment towards other players. This campaign will feature a session 0 to set our expectations, as well as post-mortems after each session where you'll be able to voice any concerns, ideas, or other thoughts to the rest of the party. I aim to provide a fair, consistent game based on the Pathfinder 2e ruleset. You can expect some fierce conflicts as you see the enemies of Belkzen driven before you, so be prepared to be on your toes! My hope is that you'll never feel like I pushed the scales in either direction - the outcome of your adventures will depend on your own tactics, thinking, and the luck of the dice.
