Expedition Gauntlight 🏰 Megadungeon Adventure 🫀 Beginners ✅

Creating your character

Characters begin at level 4 with standard gear and gold for that level - 140GP worth. I am happy to collaboratively work together on character options that fit the theme of the campaign best. You're free to make anything you like within reason, of course - and if you're newer to the game, I will help you with any questions you have. Characters should be motivated to delve into the Gauntlight Keep but we can work together on these reasons in our Session 0. Relationships to the characters of Otari is highly recommended as the town plays a major role in the adventure. A player guide can be found here for further information; https://downloads.paizo.com/AbominationVaults_PlayersGuide.pdf Current Party Makeup: 🛡️ Orc Champion of Arazni - Cause of Justice, Necromancer Hunter 📖 Yaoguai Wizard - Literal Walking Textbook, Scrollmaster ⭐ Goblin Swashbuckler - Toxic Masculinity is Dead, I Dance Now! ⭐ Free Archetype and Gradual Ability Boost rules are both active.

Preparing for the session

Bring a friendly attitude and a good sense of humor! For those who are new to Pathfinder and have experience with D&D, welcome! This campaign is a great opportunity to learn the ropes of the system while leaning into some time-honored classic dungeon delving tropes. I only request that you must have a working mic, and if you wish to have voice activation on, that you don't have excessive background noise or are willing to switch to push-to-talk if it becomes an issue. I use FoundryVTT and Discord as my methods for Roleplaying, though no experience is needed with Foundry to start - all you need is a bit of patience to learn, and we will teach. A Discord account is required. Besides that, no software is needed! Some recommended tools to assist in character creation would be Pathbuilder (free), and learning basic familiarity with the Foundry VTT tool controls is an asset, but not required. I love creating stories that I can share with my own friends, and I know you will too - I am running this campaign to put PF2e through it's paces as a system for great mechanical guidelines as well as storytelling opportunities.

What Robin brings to the table

Besides everything you'd expect from a virtual TTRPG module professionally prepared, you'll have access to a shared discord for downtime, journalling and planning your future ventures. Maps of previously explored floors, remaining mysteries and even rumours from other adventurers will all live there too. Very useful for sharing stories with friends, looking up notes for things the group may have forgotten, or even just for having a good laugh about the good times and the bad. I also have a lot of purchased virtual content that I like to use - premium maps that I have made myself or have subscribed to, and my adventures are never limited to what's written in the campaign books. In fact this adventure has mostly been rebuilt from the ground up to allow for much more of an exploration of the Gauntlight Keep and the legacies of those who explored it before and are currently exploring it now.

How Robin creates a safe table

Lines and veils document will be provided and followed. I like to have a session 0 where we lay all our expectations out on the table and make sure everyone's up for what's involved in the adventure, and usually this only takes 30 minutes or so. I have no problem changing the content of the adventure path to better suit people's comfort levels, as long as I'm told about it. If there are new players to Foundry and/or Pathfinder 2e, I ask for some patience as we spend a bit of time on Session 0/1 getting them familiar with the tools. At the end of each session, I do a Debrief that is similar to the Stars & Wishes system - to facilitate feedback and to highlight great moments from the game.
