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.

How to prepare
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. Getting into a roleplaying mindset is very highly encouraged! Players in my games are encouraged to explore their characters' motivations and personal growth, and how their unique personalities, values, and desires shape their actions and evolve. A mic is required, as well as a set of headphones for all the music and sound effects.
What I provide
The campaign completely remastered by hand for Pathfinder 2nd edition. Handmade reimagined custom maps built for this conversion. Additional Premium map content provided when needed. Access to various campaign materials to ensure you have plenty of inspiration for your character. 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!
Gameplay details
Our first session will be a combination session 0/1. We'll work together to ensure everyone's characters fit within the adventure narrative and finalize any character builds and backstories. 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.
