The Mystery Deepens in... Shades of Blood!
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Recruited as research assistants in anticipation of a rare celestial event, the PCs arrive on a remote island in the remnants of Azlant. While there, a column of shadow erupts from the sea and washes across the sky dimming the sun and unleashing shadowy monsters. Investigating the dangerous anomaly, the PCs discover a ruined Azlanti prison inhabited by vampires and learn that the column of shadow was only a test run for an ancient vampire planning to use Azlanti magical technology to blot out the sky, shielding the dangers of the sun so they can escape their island prison and reunite with their lover from the times before Earthfall. A level 1-11 weekly campaign in the high fantasy environment of Pathfinder's Golarion!
Game style
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!
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Every Saturday 7pm-10pm EST. Would love to have you join along! This will be recruitment for session zero. Variant rules utilized: - Free archetype

When I have the time and money I can't think of a better way to spend either than in one of Matt's games. Dude is a machine, and the most easy-going and supportive of player fun and agency I've played with: you want a rare feat? You got it. You want help understanding the VTT or your job better? He's there. Even hosting multiple games with loads of different players, he can tell you about every one of them and what they're up to. This guy really has passion and cares about giving everyone the best experience possible.

Matt is a fantastic GM and I am very happy to be part of his game. I highly recommend signing up to any of his games. He is helpful and beginner friendly. Very excited for future games and adventures.

Matt is an excellent GM who is more than willing to help out beginners with their PF2E builds. He also does voices and will work with you if you have crazy builds.

I'm currently in two games of Matt's, and they're, without a doubt, the best games I've had as far as any tabletop rpg goes. I came in not knowing how to play PF2E, and Matt helped me learn the system while keeping the game going smooth enough for other players that had more experience. He's very accommodating when it comes to characters builds, offering advice or ideas to help spark something, as well as helping out if something isn't working to ensure you're having a good time. He makes use of numerous amounts of Forge modules to keep the game running smoothly and provide ambience & visuals for what's going on, like assistance with Thaumaturge's Exploit Vulnerability or Swashbuckler's Panache. It makes for a very pleasant experience, personally. I'd recommend Matt to anyone looking to have a good campaign. He doesn't disappoint.

Gameplay details
- Session zero: Discussing campaign guidelines, my GMing style, finalizing characters and stories relative to the game world, group introduction & cohesion, along with possibly getting into the story a bit! I am very active on both Start Playing and my discord server, so feel free to ask questions, chat with me, and hang out with your fellow group members!

How will character creation work
There are two steps to this process, one that happens during our session zero and beyond, and the player prep before session zero. Before session zero, you should read the player's guide to your relevant adventure, presented as a free download on paizo.com and also pinned in the campaign info chat in the discord server if you'd like, or correspond with me for help with character concepts and implementation. Then please build a character on pathbuilder2e.com and submit the completed character link to the me (Share Copy of Character). During the zero and onwards, I will walk everyone through on how to prepare your blank character sheet to match your completed sheet from pathbuilder2e.com via in-game tools with Foundry.
