About me

Greetings, fellow adventurers! I’m Gerik, your dedicated Game Master! For years, I’ve been immersed in the world of tabletop RPGs, guiding brave heroes through fantastical worlds. I bring a blend of creativity, humor, and immersive storytelling to every session. I take heavy inspiration from shows like Narrative Declaration/Glass Cannon Podcast, and look to foster a table community where everyone can laugh together and feel welcome. I have been described as theatrical, high-energy, and a bit of a madman when playing a nefarious villain. But above all, I am a GM who wants you to have a good time, and I'll do my best to make that happen! But don't just take my word for it, check out my reviews to see what others have to say!

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters begin at Level 2 Ancestry: Taldor is a humanocentric nation, but that does not mean players need shy away from other ancestries. Be sure to observe the ancestry details in the player's guide to see how playing a non human can impact your play experience. Classes: All official Paizo classes (Excluding Exemplar) Free Archetypes with multiclass archetypes excluded (Thematically appropriate Archetypes are provided in the game channels) Gradual Ability boost Automatic Rune Progression (not to be confused with Automatic Bonus)

The current party

Current Party LV6: Velora Drovenge, Human Scoundrel Rogue/Alter Ego Dedication Milo Merrymaker, Halfling Investigator/Kitharodian Actor Dedication Octavian of house Zespire, Human Cleric of Abadar/Loremaster Dedication The Players are heading deep undercover to undermine a political rival. Playing the role of newly minted aristocrats, the party has to maintain their cover while working to undermine the opposition's influence over a key strategic county. At the beginning of this arc, the players took part in a two-day social event where they got to meet the various power players in the county and had a chance to make friends and learn about their enemies. We are now working through a small sandbox where the players will be using the info and connections they gathered to start undermining the opposition. This would be a great opportunity to join the party as extra support sent by their superiors!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players should start by reading the War for the Crown Player's Guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FL_jbxPNXXJGC40zBOQxSICMfNLjqysv/view?usp=sharing. Keep in mind that this is a conversion, so the guide should be used to help inform how you want your character to fit within the story. The mechanical character options presented in the guide are not applicable. More campaign tips are outlined in the discord channels. Please avoid all wikis about this adventure, its setting, and its characters. Since it is an older published adventure, the wiki is full of spoilers! I have provided spoiler-free materials within my Discord channels. Our first session will be a combination session 0/1. We'll work together collaboratively to ensure everyone's characters fit within the adventure narrative and finalize any character builds and connections. This adventure will involve an extensive amount of politicking and political intrigue, so characters solely focused on combat will not be a good fit. Players should endeavor to build around having a broad skillset, especially since Diplomacy isn't the only skill used to influence people! Events in War for the Crown rely as much on calm words and a winning smile as they do a sharp blade, and while combat will present itself, characters who can blend into the social scene or investigate strange events will find more opportunities to shine. Characters that revolve around rugged wilderness themes or with few options outside of combat will have less to do in many parts of the story. Getting into a roleplaying mindset is a must! This adventure is primarily focused on Roleplaying and skill challenges. Combat is not the focus, although it is more prevalent in some chapters.

What Gerik brings to the table

The campaign completely remastered by me for Pathfinder 2nd edition. A roster of 30+ unique noble NPCs to make friends, enemies, or frenemies of. Each with dossiers so you can keep track. A remastered Agents subsystem where the players recruit their own agents to act on their behalf, each with their own unique dossiers! Access to various campaign materials to ensure you have plenty of inspiration for your character. Handmade, reimagined custom maps built for this conversion. Additional Premium map content provided when needed. Extensive Foundry module curation to ensure as streamlined an experience as possible. Let the system do the heavy lifting for you. Custom-designed soundtrack for immersion and setting the tone of our adventure!

How Gerik creates a safe table

Each player who joins my server is required to sign my onboarding document, where I outline all my table/community rules. These cover topics such as behaviors that will not be tolerated, as well as other housekeeping topics. Refusal to sign this document disqualifies players from playing at the table to ensure the safety of all members who do.
