Discover Midgard in this action-packed one-shot!

Pathfinder 2e | One-Shot

About the adventure

At the heart of the Midgard setting from Kobold Press, the clockwork city of Zobeck is known for its industrious citizenry and their wondrous innovations at the intersection of technology and magic: gear mages, artificers and inventors all call the city their home. When a mysterious malfunction at the Puffing Bridge threatens to put the city to a halt, it is up to our heroes to save the day. This is a 1st level self-contained one-shot adventure that should take about two hours to complicate. It is one long "real-time" encounter, with the clock ticking as the situation continuously escalates. The heroes will need to use all of their skills to restore sanity to the Free City. We will be using premade characters so that we can get straight into the action, with a lot of setting-appropriate options from the "Guns & Gears" supplement for Pathfinder 2E.

Recruiting notes

This a fast-paced action adventure, that plays out as a continuous encounter, so it is most suitable for players who enjoy intense, high-pressure scenarios, acting fast and taking risks. There is no need to prepare anything before the game.

Additional details

How to prepare

A good quality microphone (preferably a headset) is required to use Discord. I also strongly encourage players to use video during games. Games using video conferencing are usually more enjoyable for all parties, as video prevents misunderstandings and miscommunication. In addition you will need (free) accounts for Discord and for Forge (the website hosting our Foundry VTT game), and you might want to download the Discord client. All game materials (handouts, character sheets, maps, tokens) will be available through Foundry and Discord.

What I provide

You will not need any physical aids to play the game. All material will be provided digitally through the Foundry VTT.

Gameplay details

This is a fast-paced session where the PCs are always forced to make quick decisions, as events are continuously escalating. It is meant for players who enjoy that type of quick strategic play, and probably less suited to players who prefer to explore and interact with the world at their ease. Everybody should feel safe, comfortable, and respected during the game. Even if the events of the game put your characters in uncomfortable situations, you yourself should never be made to feel uncomfortable. If you have any concerns about the content of the game, subjects you don't want to see come up, or other boundaries, please let me know either before or during the game. You do not need to explain yourself!

How will character creation work

This is a one-shot adventure for 1st level characters. We will be using premade characters and you will have a choice of several to choose from - usually there is enough that everyone can have their first preference. You do not need to prepare anything for the game. No previous familiarity with Pathfinder 2E is assumed.
