Learn to Play Pathfinder 2nd Edition in a Classic Dungeon Delve
Pathfinder 2e | One-Shot
About the adventure
Mad cultists, strange rituals, mysterious spirits, and all kinds of crawling creatures await our 3rd level adventurers in this dark and gruesome adventure from Sly Flourish's "Fantastic Lairs". A treasure map leads to an abandoned dwarven temple, but the temple is not empty: grim and twisted are the rituals that take place here, and terrible is the suffering of its victims. Can our heroes stop the deranged leader of these maniacs? Published originally for D&D 5e, this short dungeon delve is the perfect place to try out the possibilities of Pathfinder 2nd edition - the most modern iteration of D20 heroic fantasy.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Adam
George is just great. He knows Pathfinder and knows his adventure material. He's super-creative, knows his way around Foundry and is all-around a great GM to play with. I hope to get the opportunity to be at his table again.

George ran a quick one-shot for us. It was a lot of fun. We had players new to the system but he was a great teacher. Very knowledgable

George is an awesome gm. I only played a few sessions with them but every session was an absolute blast and a highlight of my week.
Vinni The Troll
George isn't afraid to use voices, or get into character. He's very knowledgeable of the system, and runs a great session.

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 Forge, the host site for Foundry VTT, and you might want to download the Discord client. All game materials (handouts, character sheets, maps, tokens) will be available through Foundry/Forge.
What I provide
Dice, character sheets, maps, and handouts will be provided through Roll20.
Gameplay details
Content warnings - please read first: kidnapping, human sacrifice, mutilation, giant insects. This will be a quick dungeon crawl through the lair of a terrible cult indulging in horrifying rituals. It should take about two hours, during which the heroes will discover terrible secrets that will lead to an eventual confrontation with a cruel and unnatural evil. Most of the play time will be split between exploration and combat (depending on what players prioritise). While the game might put player characters in awkward or difficult positions, it is never OK to make the players themselves feel awkward or uncomfortable. Please let me know if you have any concerns before or during the game about the content. You do not have to explain your preferences. Players are expected to be considerate and respectful of each other - no behaviour that prevents other players from enjoying the game will be tolerated.
