About the adventure
Don't be intimidated by rules, numbers or lack of experience: just tell me who you want to play as, and what'll they do: π Are they kind and willing to help a nice lady kill the pests infecting her business' basement? or is helping the local priests find missing people closer to their heart? π Do they live for coin and take on the risky investigation of a sabotage campaign against local logging companies? β Are you curious about the "haunted" ruins of a burned Inn, the old weird inland lighthouse, or a singing orc's prodigious produce? (Think of Skyrim, but around a town called Otari). ππΌ No math, no code, just let my foundry Virtual Table Top (VTT) setup take care of those and trust I'll teach you one roll at a time. Experience the game in full and while VTT takes care of the math and of provides a familiar interface so you can enjoy your game. ______________________________________________________________________ β Do you need any experience? π’No. β Do you have to act or do voices? .π’ No. Except for being a rude or nasty to your fellow players, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to play, just different styles for different people. β Character creation can be as easy as you telling me what you think would be a fun character to play, and then me giving you your character and explaining what they do and how, or us shaping your alter ego together. _________________________________________ β Why should you learn to play Pathfinder 2e? .π’ Because it's clear, complete (not complex), and balanced enough so both you and your character can grow epically without feeling constrained by a the system. β Why with me? π’ Experience, patience, and flexibility to build a pleasant collaborative story (What makes TTRPGs unique is that it is the players who write the story). As the Game Master's (GM) my only job is to describe the world and arbitrate the disputes that you may have with it (yes, the world is stubborn and won't let us succeed without effort. Pffff, stupid world). β What does this game cover? π’ All current edition Paizo published material on the Otari area: Beginner's Box + Troubles in Otari + The abomination Vaults AP, original custom material and third party supplements arraigned into a single, cohesive, story. This game will be played in English, but I'm Spanish-friendly. If you want a run in Spanish, or a hybrid Eng/Spa game to practice and learn Spanish, feel free to contact me!

Gameplay details
If you have phobias, or trigger subjects, I'll provide a Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist and go over the proposed group's lines and veils on the first session. Even if you don't have phobias I still advice to take a look at it just in case. Please Remember to submit stars (what you liked about how I'm doing things and want me to keep doing) and wishes (What would you like to see in the game). In session zero we'll finish up the characters, and discuss the consent list, as well as security tools, game limits, and the range of game tones and themes. Please deliver the consent list that I will pass before the session or during the first minutes. If you join after the zero session we will meet in a virtual meeting before the game.

How will character creation work
Greetings! This is Olaf, your Game Master wishing you well and fun. To make the most of our time together please: Should you want to make (or have done) your character, let me know through the SPG party chat so we can check all the boxes and see if we can come up with some cool backstories (they may reward you with uncommon equipment or options). If you feel like beginning on your own please do so with pathbuilder (https://pathbuilder2e.com/), use common options, and when finished open the menu and use the export JSON option to create the character ID for me to check. I'll provide the level of help you request and materials you'll need: from making a character together to handing you a pre-generated character after telling me which playstyle you think you'll enjoy, to anything in between, I'll be there for you.
