Level 3 Free Archetype+ Ancestral Paragon Orc Campaign !

How to prepare

For this Pathfinder game I will be using two platforms, discord for voice/messages and foundry for dice rolls/character sheets. Equipment-wise players are expected to bring a desktop computer or laptop with a stable internet connection and a working microphone. Voice chat and the majority of text messages will be done through a discord server, I will provide the invitation link to the server when players after join the game. It is preferred that players have a noise free environment or set push to talk when there is much background noise. All Player’s need to play this campaign is a computer that can run Foundry VTT and a working microphone. Owning the actual rulebooks is not required because most of the rules, spells, items, and abilities are already a part of the Pathfinder 2e Foundry Module which is regularly updated or easily accessible on sites such as Archives of Nethys. Knowledge of pathfinder 2e ruleset and/or lore not preferred but not required. For those interested in purchasing the rulebooks, this campaign will be primarily utilizing the Remaster Core rulebooks. Knowledge of Pathfinder lore is not required to enjoy this adventure path. However, for those willing to take some time to do research recommended research topics for greater understanding: The Godsrain, and Tar-Baphon. are all important to the Adventure Path.

What I provide

Hello, my name is James. I got my start game mastering close to five years ago and have been game mastering professionally for the last year. Pathfinder 2nd edition holds a special place in my heart as the first real game that I got to experience right after its release in 2019, since then I have run the Beginner Box, two modules, and an entire adventure path. Foundry VTT is a great tool and has made running the game much smoother. The game is not for everyone and does require a decent amount of experience to run properly. Paizo’s adventure paths can make for great campaigns and I have played through a number of them in my time gaming. However, even the shorter ones require a decent amount of dedication in order to complete. How many times have you been part of a group and it fell apart due to scheduling? I’m happy to announce that because of Start Playing that I have been able to game almost every single week since I started. It is still my goal as your game master I promise to provide you an engaging, thoughtful, and dynamic experience each week. My greatest strength is my ability to adapt to the wishes of my table. My DMs are always open and my response times are lighting fast, so don’t hesitate to ask me a question.

Gameplay details

About safety tools for this game I start with a session zero I discuss the themes and expectations of the campaign before we begin making characters. During session zero, Lines and Veils are discussed. After we start the game proper I have one or two five minute breaks for each game session. The standard duration of a session will go for between two or three hours. I always ensure that there is enough time to discuss the session, rules clarification, and any other feedback. At the end of the every session I also like to ask each player who was star of the session and reward a second starting hero point to those who receive the most votes. This closing segment is also an opportunity to use stars and wishes. At the end of every chapter I also like to do a check-in with all the players to ensure they are enjoying overall direction of the game.

How will character creation work

All player characters will be created together over session zero. Though players can have a rough concept before making their character. This is an Orc/Dromar centric campaign. Backgrounds will be chosen from the TotT Players Guide. For classes Animist, Barbarian, Fighter and Ranger are recommended highest. Although a PC might attend Torrentmoot for their own opportunities and enrichment, the campaign assumes that most or all of the PCs are representatives of a company, state, or other organization that’s curious about Belkzen’s overtures of friendship and the potential to benefit off of Ardax’s desire for alliances.
