One for Hire, a Solo PbP
Pathfinder 1e | Campaign
About the adventure
The MageHunters are one of the most well-known and reputable mercenary guilds on the continent. Granted, it’s been ages since they formed as a group hunting down the rogue mages that were plaguing the land, but the name stuck. The tales of the MageHunters, their deeds, and their bravery are sung in the taverns and told as tales to children, and at long last, you have joined their number! As a new member of the guild, you’ll be sent out, alone or with a group (of NPCs) to handle contracts, and as you gain more experience, you’ll face harder and harder contracts. But why a solo PbP? The biggest challenge in PbP is not the monsters you face, it’s the time you spend waiting for the other players. This game will be run solo so you can set the pace. However, I’m listing several sessions of this game and will have a group chat channel for all players so that those who also like the social aspect will have that outlet and the chance to request adventuring together for a quest or long-term adventure if you wish.

Sean makes fun and creative NPCs and settings. All the NPCs felt like different people. He'll also incorporate your character's backstory into the story if you give him one. I felt like I had a lot of different choices for how the story could go. He's very patient with explaining rules too.
Namalin
He’s a very fun game master! He’s great at story telling and has a knack for drawing people into his stories. Highly recommend!

I've played in-person Pathfinder with Suburban Dad. He is amazing! He really paid attention to my backstory and weaved it into game play seamlessly. I was brand new and he walked me thru step-by-step and was very patient with my million questions, and also when I couldn't remember the answers to those million questions and I asked again. In those games the story world that he came up with was really immersive and we had a lot of fun! He is a very talented game master! Highly recommend him!

Sean is a great DM/GM. He has great characters and models for players how to be in character. Any table with Sean will be fun one.
Winter Lee
Sean has this ability to make anyone feel safe and welcome. He’s so supportive and just genuinely kind. I never feel pressured or nervous when I’m at his tables.
Umwen
Super fun times gaming with SuburbanDad! Made everyone at the table feel welcome and heard, created great roleplay moments, and brought in moments of humor and seriousness to the story. Highly recommend!

How to prepare
Daily access to Discord is all you really need. The rate of posting will entirely be handled by how frequently you choose to post, so we can have as much or as little adventure as you choose each week.
What I provide
We will be using Discord and I'll also be providing a Google Slideshow for maps and NPC images.
Gameplay details
A session 0 will be a chance to build your character and to share any triggers so we can be sure the campaign is fun for everyone. Throughout the campaign, we will utilize an open door policy so, at any time, you can message me to let me know if something is taking a turn that makes you uncomfortable or if a new trigger is discovered. The goal, as it should be, is for everyone to be free to have as much fun as possible by taking your lovingly crafted character on a grand adventure in a fantasy world.

How will character creation work
You will create a first level character using the 20 point buy method. Character creation will be done through our discord link with me available to you as a resource to answer any and all questions as we go. If you, like me, enjoy planning out characters through multiple levels, I am absolutely open to multiclassing.
