Spore War: Terror of the Mire 🍄 11-20 | Free Archetype
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The demon Treerazer has long lurked in the wretched expanse of Tanglebriar, just south of the elven nation of Kyonin. Long ago, he tried to claim the nation as his own, but the elves pushed back and contained him. Today, many believe Treerazer to be exiled, trapped, imprisoned, or simply cowardly hunkering down in the swamp, afraid to attract attention or to trigger elven wrath once more. Those who believe this are about to learn just how dangerously wrong they are. ⚔️ High-Stakes War Backdrop | 🌳 Elven Forest | 🎲 Level 11-20 | 🏳️🌈+ GM
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

I've been enjoying playing a lot with Somnus, he's very inclusive, creative and runs Foundry insanely well

Somnus is incredibly welcoming, flexible, understanding, and so so patient! As a new player, I was relieved to have a DM that took the time to coach me and others through the process. Their sessions were immersive and full of ambiance, and they really encouraged the players to help shape the setting with their own ideas.

Somnus is a wonderful, engaging storyteller who creates a safe space for inclusion and learning new systems. Even using a pregenerated oneshot, Somnus still gave us all plenty of chances to flex our own creativity and make the story ours, and brought the cast of NPCs to life with excellent voice acting and descriptions. Somnus also took the time to teach us the system, patiently explaining every system and letting us try things out. Highly recommend Somnus whether learning a new system or interested in a rich, vibrant campaign where your characters matter.

Never showed up to the session 0. Didn't send a "I'll be late" message, just no called no showed me. They had me skip the first session because I needed a session 0 even though according to their requirements if I join a campaign I needed to join outside of 24 hours prior to game time. I met those requirements yet I still had to skip. When we scheduled the session 0. Nothing not a word once game time started.

Somnus is a really good GM. As someone who only played dnd5e and has never played Pathfinder2e it can be pretty intimating. He was very helpful and answer all my questions and put my worriers to rest. I have been having a blast if you are on the fence about joining just do it you wont be disappointed.

How will character creation work
Character Creation: • Ask about any Uncommon or Rare options. The Player Guide has changed some Uncommon options into Common. • No variant or optional rules are being used. • Starting Treasure/Wealth for your PC is Level 11. You may choose either a Lump Sum OR the Permanent Items + Currency: https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=2662&Redirected=1 • We'll have a Session 0 to discuss creating a cohesive group of characters, making connections to each other, and why you come to this land of elves. • If you'd prefer, you can choose from a selection of premade characters that are suited to the adventure and setting. You can then change the name and backstory of them if you'd like to personalise further. • To tie your character to the setting and scenario, I encourage you to look at the official Player Guide for this adventure: https://downloads.paizo.com/SporeWar_PlayersGuide.pdf • We will use FoundryVTT or Pathbuilder to create our characters (Those that use https://pathbuilder2e.com/ will be able to import into Foundry). • Anyone that joins later or needs to create a new character, will make a character at the party's current level or choose a premade one and level it up. Before the next game session, I will have a paid private discussion with you that substitutes the Session 0 you missed. If you join just before the next session and I don't have enough time to talk to you, you'll skip and join the session after.
