Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Outlawed in the City of Smog! 🔫 Experience a gunslinging adventure in the world of Golarion! 🧨 Tons of options for wild west style characters and crafters! 💰 Take on the role of an outlaw, robbing banks and more, all to clear your name! "Alkenstar's got its fair share of rotten folks, and those sum' bitches Mugland and Deputy Loveless are some of the worst! I hear they got ya on the wrong side of the law. Ain't my business if ya should be there or not, but I reckon you'd love some good ol' payback. Well lemme tell ya 'bout this job..." An official Paizo level 1-10 adventure, Outlaws of Alkenstar will take you on a gun-toting adventure in the City of Smog itself as you race against dangerous rivals to stop a dangerous new invention from getting into the wrong hands. Reckless bandits, corrupt shield marshals, rich moguls and crazed alchemists are but some of the obstacles you'll face as you try to save the city, and perhaps even clear your name along the way? Check out the free official player's guide too! https://downloads.paizo.com/Outlaws+of+Alkenstar+Player's+Guide.pdf 💡Play-by-Post💡 This game will be in the Play-by-Post format, which means that it's great if scheduling a time for session is tricky for you! Everything is done via posting in discord, with no set session time. So you can hop in and check what's been happening and respond when it works for you! Another benefit lots of people talk about is the lack of pressure to know what to do or say in the moment, as you get time to plan out what you're gonna say or do! The first week will be a session zero, getting ready for the game, which will be free! Players should check the game 2-3 times a day, the GM will be on 3-5 times a day.

How to prepare
You'll need a Discord account to access the server, where the entire game will happen. You'll also need either access to a web browser or android device for Pathbuilder. No mic or webcam required though! Make sure you read through the player's guide too 💡Pathbuilder https://pathbuilder2e.com/ 💡Player's Guide https://downloads.paizo.com/Outlaws+of+Alkenstar+Player's+Guide.pdf
What I provide
All tokens, handouts, arts, etc, will have dedicated channels in the Discord server, along with channels for the main story, shopping, idle chi chat, combat, and out of game talk. During combat I'll provide maps via Owlbear Rodeo but will also provide snap shots in the Discord so you can stay entirely in the Discord if you want!
Gameplay details
Once we have our players, we'll do a text-based session zero week in the Discord. We'll go over general information, a bit on my GM style, how to use the bots for skills, combat and the like, and character concepts. You can certainly come with a character idea, but it's also great to ensure the party has variety too, so don't worry if you don't have an idea until after we start talking! During our Session 0 week, I'll send out a form with controversial or sensitive topics that could come up in a tabletop game, our lines and veils. Each player can send directly to me their lines and veils from the list (or any not listed) and I'll make an official list in the discord (with anonymity so no one will know who needed what to be lines or veils).

How will character creation work
Characters will begin play at level one, using Pathbuilder (web version and Android both available) to create them using the standard Pathfinder 2E Remaster rules. All classes are allowed, with all Common class options available. Common and uncommon ancestries and heritages are options as well. Common Items plus any uncommon available to you (which includes anything with Alkenstar as a region). Options from Gun & Gears are especially thematic but not required by any means! I highly recommend but don't require you use the campaign backgrounds from the Player's Guide. If you opt not to use one, you will need to have a link to either Ambrose Mugland or Deputy Loveless, one or both of whom you have a grudge against.
