Pathfinder 2e | Campaign

About the adventure

Have you or your group wanted a custom adventure tailored around your backstories and choices? Then look no more! I will personally craft your adventure and give you the experience you so crave! Do you want an urban fantasy game? I can swing that. Perhaps a high fantasy LOTR like experience? Sure thing bud. Maybe you want an adventuring academy experience solving mysteries? Absolutely we can do that! With around a decade under my belt as a home game DM and long experience with running homebrew campaigns. Together as a group we will sit down for session 0 and figure out all the different characters you want to play and perhaps what connections you want to have with each other. From there we take a one week break beginning two weeks after session 0. This allows me time to construct and build what needs constructing as well as try to ensure i have the time to build out at least the immediate area around the beginning of the game. The time put on the listing is not final. It can be changed to fit better with you and your group.

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.

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.

Played 5 sessions

I've only had a couple sessions with Oliver, but so far each one has been conducted with a high amount of effort and enthusiasm. Oliver knows how to strike a perfect balance between RP, combat encounters and immersive world-building and storytelling, depending on what your party prefers. In our game, Oliver has crafted a world where we have a high degree of player choice while maintaining a light and homey feeling. It really feels that our decisions will impact the flow of the story moving forward, which our party tends to prefer. Overall, a solid experience, and I'm keen to see how things develop moving forward.

A great DM with knowledge and experience in DMing a variety of systems. Follows the rules of the system but still allows leeway for Rule of Cool. Really encourages his players to roleplay and allows them the freedom to shape the story along with him.

Getting him to balance how many games he's running is the only tricky part about Oliver from personal experience. But once he commits to running a game, he goes above and beyond to ensure his players are enjoying themselves in whatever TTRPG he's running

This man What can I say about this man The amount of detail and creativity that this person puts forward into their game process blows me away every time I see them. Their artistry is masterful. I always have fun when we play together. Just a fantastic person to play with, through and through.

Oliver has provided me with some of my most favorite experiences! If i could give him more than the three tags I would~ He's free with story beats but knows when to tug the reigns, Not to mention he's jokes in an out of game. Its a calm environment and made me laugh so much so often. He's brilliant. I cannot give a higher recommendation!

Additional details

How to prepare

Make sure you have a forge account, discord, and a functioning mic and internet connection. I will personally have a camera on during the games as i find it helps with engagement. Though that is not required ^^

What I provide

I bring with me a huge inventory of modules for monsters and maps. Both official Paizo monster core and bestiaries. Maps brought in fully functional. I also bring with me music and ambience to ensure we all have a great time at the table!

Gameplay details

At my table I am very open with allowing player input on what they want to see and not see. At any point you are free to tell me if something is bothering you and we can handle it like adults and have a conversation. I encourage players to take a second to tell me if something was bad post game or tell me things they want to see more of.

How will character creation work

CC will happen in session 0 with everyone where we go over what everyone would like to experience. Characters can be made on Pathbuilder and imported using pathmuncher. I normally run with the free archetype rule in play. So plan accordingly.
