About the adventure
Welcome to Bailax, a gleaming coastal city where waves crash against ancient stone and flame-born legends shape the future. You arrive during the Festival of Ashes, where a hero’s passing becomes a citywide celebration. There are funeral games, sacred rites, and the promise of renewal in fire. You have come for your own reasons and with a band of friends at your side. Whether to seek glory, sate your curiosity, honor the dead, or experience something new, you arrive to honor the city and its legacy of mythical power across Iblydos. Not long after you arrive, however, the sky begins to fall. A meteor. Black, smoldering, and wreathed in red light, it crashes near the festivities. You find yourselves at the heart of the chaos, swept into a web of mythic power and ancient prophecy. Your fate is set before you. An ancient voice calls to you from the depths of your mind, as if trapped within a vast, empty chamber long forgotten to time: "Myyyyythhh Speeeaakerrrrrr." As your characters rise from local heroes to mythical legends with the potential to restore myth-speaking to Iblydos, you will learn to wield the power of a demigod. New players are welcome! Whether you're a seasoned Pathfinder veteran or you are brand new to tabletop games, you'll find a welcoming, collaborative game full of creativity, strange magic, and world-shaping decisions. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to engage with the adventure!

About me
Hi all! I’m Emma, the Game Master behind Cozy Critical, a space where I hope to bring collaboration, cozy fun, and epic adventure together for people's enjoyment. Tabletop games provide a restful outlet that helps us disconnect from the real world for a little while, and I hope that my games can provide that for you! With over 5 years as a GM, 7 years playing TTRPGs, 6 years as a middle school science teacher, and 3 years in higher education I bring rich game mechanics together with an environment where players can feel comfortable learning new systems and trying new things. My goal is to create welcoming games that blend character development, emotional fantasy adventure arcs, and hopefully the right amount of chaos and silliness. Between a professional virtual tabletop setup and my past experience leading fantasy games, streaming TTRPGs, podcasting, and performing theater, I offer a strong foundation for us to build something special at the table. Whether you are new to TTRPGs or have played longer than I have, I hope you'll join me for some collaborative fun. Thanks so much, and I look forward to telling unforgettable stories together 💫

Creating your character
Characters will be created together during a free Session 0! Please think of a broader concept for the type of character you wish to create in the meantime. This setting is very flexible and remains open for any ancestry, class, and background you would like to choose for your character. The region is heavily inspired by Ancient Greece. If you wish to learn more about character creation in Pathfinder 2E, check out the online rule-set at https://2e.aonprd.com/PlayersGuide.aspx
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you sign up for the game, I will share a Discord server invitation link with you :) All of the links you will need to explore the rule-set, to set up an account on our Virtual Tabletop, and to begin planning a character concept will be located in the Discord server.
What Jamie Emma brings to the table
I will take care of the world-building, NPC voices, in-game music, virtual tabletop, rules management, and player engagement. All I need from you is a willingness to explore the setting and build a story together!
Homebrew rules
I do not use any homebrew mechanics, but I do tend to weave homebrew story elements into pre-written adventure paths, as I feel that this helps to better connect player characters to the adventure.
