About the adventure

This adventure is meant for new players! Come learn the system, learn how to play a TTRPG for the first time, learn how to role-play, etc! It can be daunting but that's where the PF2E beginner box is a godsend! You will be assisting a local merchant with a request beneath her shop. Something seems off; the smell of dead fish seems to be erupting from somewhere, and she cannot figure out what or where. Could something be lurking beneath the surface of Otari?

About me

Living out my childhood dreams of playing TTRPGs and making new friends along the way! After not being able to find local games for some time, I decided to become a DM. Since then, roughly a year ago, I have had the joy of running 5E, PF2E, and SF1E. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to make my games accessible and friendly for all I can. I look forward to telling new stories, laughing at new jokes, and crying new tears with each of you who give my games a shot! Also, catch me as Fen and Giddy on Whispers of Doom! It's a new actual play podcast featuring another SPG GM and some lovely dorks. Links are to our studio's pages! I refuse to use generative AI in any capacity in my games.

Was a fun little one-shot primer for Starfinder 2E. Our little group seemed to gel pretty well, for only just meeting for the first time. Bard speaks clearly and had NO issues with either him nor Foundry.

Somewhat benevolent, very good communication skills, really good with lore and immersion, has a clear fascination and love for the game, most of all understanding and helpful, would recommend for new players and veterans alike.

This lovely, kind, and handsome Game Master is the best one that I've ever had, he is very kind, does very well at working with extra creative people and characters, and is very helpful for people that are a bit inexperienced. I've started two different campaigns with him and both were and have been a great time.

He's not strict and is flexible with the rules while also being fair. We were able to defeat a boss in one move, because he let us tow a tractor up a mountain and essentially turn it into a giant bomb! Almost had a player death but was saved by the dice.

Bard is such a great GM. He helped me in getting to know the game as a novice and is always willing to listen to my outlandish ideas.

Character creation
Creating your character

You will want to use the Pathbuilder website to build your character. Please avoid using anything with the "rare" tag for your ancestry or class. I do have pre-generated characters available as well. We will be starting at level 1. Your character has either grown up in or around Otari, or you are a traveler visiting. Please send me your JSON code that can be found in the export menu on pathbuilder once it is finished.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

Mic and discord needed! Webcam optional. I will provide the foundry link. You can create a character or use a pre-generated one.

What Bard brings to the table

Foundry will be used, and a link will be provided. I use syrinscape for most game audio, except for character voices. I use a blend of the rule of cool and RAW.
