About the adventure

Step into the ancient kingdom of Taldor, where chaos stirs, and political ambitions run amok. Take on the roles of agents, advocates, and saboteurs. Your mission: prevent the nation from descending into a deadly civil war. Recover hidden secrets, engage in high-stakes espionage, and attend high society galas to become influential figures in the treacherous political arena of Taldor! The campaign kicks off in Oppara, Taldor’s glittering capital city, during the Grand Day of Exaltation, a celebration where extraordinary commoners are elevated to nobility. Help steer Taldor toward a brighter future. Can you navigate the deadly game of politics and prevent the collapse of 6,000 years of history and culture? Get ready for an epic tale of action, subterfuge, and noble intrigue! 🎨 I partner with the talented artist Jay Echo!

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 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! Or you can check out my GM style on my podcast channel here: https://youtube.com/@geriksadventuringguild?si=wvmEjItvcTUbAqZY My tables support 100% human made art! 🎨 I do not accept generative AI in my games.

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 Bonus Progression

The current party

Current Party LV9: 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 currently acting as a delegation to the largest merchant city in Taldor. They need to win the Mercantile Council over to their faction's side, but their main rivals have sent a delegation of their own! So now they've got to play nice as they race to win this key strategic location's support!

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! Gerik's Verbal Duel system where players utilize tactics to win intense verbal exchanges instead of utilizing violence. 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!
