Rusthenge: Learn to play Pathfinder 2e on Foundry VTT! Level 1-4
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
First session half price! A cleric from a rival village shows up on the outskirts of town with two arrows in his back and strange rusty lesions on his skin. He mutters something about his temple before he dies. Something sinister is afoot in Rusthenge, and it falls to a brand new band of adventurers to learn the truth of the ancient evil that stirs deep within its long-abandoned halls! * A standalone adventure for four 1st-level characters. A shorter experience, spanning levels 1-4. * Focuses on exploring ancient ruins and uncovering an ancient evil. * Includes new items, character backgrounds, and monsters tied to the region's history. * A cool little mystery and dungeon crawl. * Suitable for beginners and more advanced players!

Jessy was very patient with us as we were all new to Pathfinder 2e. He did a wonderful job explaining the rules to us and walking us through the adventure. I love the costume app that he wore as well! Made the experience a lot more immersive.
Justin Wood
I have had a great time playing with Jesse. He has been really helpful with learning the rules and connecting characters to the setting. Combat has been really fun with enemies that act more dynamically. He is a really fun GM who brings a great energy to the table.

My daughter and I ran a campaign with Jesse and a few others and had a blast. We ended up using the VTT Tabletop set and outfits made through FAES AR which brought a lot of life to the whole adventure too. I don't always RPG, but when I do, I prefer Jesse's DMing
Dean
Jesse knows his stuff and if he doesn't he won't lie to you about. If you are just learning a system, he's a good DM to go with! In between being a good teacher, he's pretty good at telling a story around everything. If you have a character with a background, he will do his best to weave it into the story.

Jesse is great at setting the tone. I loved the digital outfits he would put on as he switched between characters!
Additional details
How to prepare
You'll need a mic with good sound, and a nice quiet place to play from where you won't be distracted or distract the other players. We'll have a little interview before the first session so that we can get to know each other a bit, make sure the sound is OK, let me know if you have any special requests, etc. I run Foundry on the Forge, so when you get the link to the VTT, you'll need to make a free account there. This is a great adventure to learn to play Pathfinder 2e with, but you will need to read up on creating and or leveling up your character. There are lots of free and legal resources online, and I'm happy to answer any questions.
What I provide
I have the official Paizo Rusthenge module for Foundry VTT. It's got lovely maps, tokens, and music. I have Foundry VTT nicely modded for smooth and convenient play. I have audio (and video if wanted) running through Foundry, so you won't need to tab between multiple windows. The group will have their own Discord channel where you can plot and scheme, and I will provide notes when needed. I act out NPCs to the best of my ability, and will keep track of relationships with NPCs. Monsters will react and adapt to your presence and actions. I play Rules as Written, but since Pathfinder has rules for almost anything, you pretty much get Rule of Cool, too!
Gameplay details
Well have a Session 0 to get to know each other and each other's characters. We can decide how gory we want the fights to be here, and any other expectations people have. I'm pretty laid back. I can adjust the game for beginners to experienced players, and for challenge level. We'll take a 10 minute break around the halfway mark, for washrooms, snacks, etc. We will do Stars and Wishes after the session to say what we liked and what we would like to see in the future.

How will character creation work
Players can either create their own characters (I can import your builds from pathbuilder2e.com), or you can use the premade Iconics that come with the system. We'll coordinate to have a fairly well-balanced party. First come, first choice! I only use post-remaster books, so please limit your options to those. I expect you to know how to run and level up your character.
