About me
"The realm is a mysterious unconquerable land filled with both the darkness of mysterious horrors and the light unquenchable thirst for adventure. Do you seek the thrill of adventure? Perhaps it is romance? Or maybe it is the need to seek out revenge? Whatever it may be, search no further, for there is a story to tell, and maybe just maybe this storyteller can speak your story just like the minstrels of old." Hiya! Most people call me Vinny and even though I am a Game Master, I prefer to simply refer to myself as a Storyteller. Every character, every npc, and every monster or villain has a story to tell and I hope that I can usher in these tales as a way to allow people to forget their woes if only for a few hours. I typically run Adventure Paths for Pathfinder 2e. Without further ado, grab your friends, pick up your snacks, grab your favorite place on that carpet, and let me, as a storyteller, open your mind to the possibilities of a good book, and tell a story worth telling! Feel Free to send me a message if you want to request a game! I have a wide open schedule. I have Several Promotions to reduce the cost of my games. Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/2jevMkaAHN

Creating your character
🔶 Before your first session, create a character of a level and wealth matching the party in your game's Foundry server. I recommend a premium Pathbuilder account to help you create your character using the variant rules we are utilizing. Additionally, you may request a one-on-one session with me to help build your character. 🔶 For detailed character creation options, refer to the "Homebrew Rules" section. You are welcome to use the Character Creation Discussion channel to discuss your builds with other players.
🔶Party Composition 🔶 Party Level 7 💠Adfreet: Elven Nari Fighter Wrestler (Guardian's Calling) 💠Gobbo: Goblin Ghoul Monk Acrobat (Acrobat's Calling) 💠Verrilion Loxenna: Dhampir Bard Swashbuckler (Demagogue's Calling) 💎 Are members who are temporary and will be leaving soon.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To be fully prepared for Blood Lords, I recommend the following: 🔶 Familiarity with Blood Lords, utilizing the its Player's Guide. 🔶 A Computer or Laptop capable of running Foundry. [We have had some success with a Steam Deck as well.] 🔶 Headset + Headset/Microphone to be able to handle voice chat. 🔶 Discord and Forge accounts.
What Vinny brings to the table
My games are enriched with a customized Foundry server that is always improving as I implement and change modules to grant the best experience I can. It is completed with automation, soundtracks, and additional maps from map designers like Tom Cartos, BaileyWiki, and more! My goal is to give all characters their arcs, centering the attention on them for some time, while improving party morale with moments of intrigue, excitement, and challenge.

Safety
How Vinny creates a safe table
We are an inclusive table. My Discord has a support channel, where you can create a support ticket. I am the only one with access to the support tickets. If you need to discuss something personally with me, we can also discuss it via voice on Discord. Keep from discussing anything controversial in the real world (Examples include Politics and Religion). This should be a safe place for everyone to play.
