About the adventure
An introductory game based in Pathfinder 1e, for players to get a taste of the world of Terra! A homebrew setting, I run campaigns set in this high-magic world here on Startplaying. This world has been run for over 20 years, with player actions guiding and altering the kingdoms, cultures, and societies in the world! Here in the Umbral Tomb, you get a selection of pre-made characters, with both base Paizo content and content from the world of Terra. Cleanse the darkness of this tomb in this dungeon crawl and, if successful, earn crimson coins for future games you play in! Whether you show up to sling dice for one night, or turn into a regular player, I am thrilled to fun a night of combat, puzzles, and roleplaying with you! This game is suitable for people new to Pathfinder, or experienced players alike.

About me
I'm hosting games for Pathfinder 1st edition, largely because I've noticed there aren't a lot of people hosting these games. I've been a DM for over twenty years, and have the philosophy that the game is meant to be something fun for everyone involved. I try and make games that have something for every player. I run modules, both bought and homebrewed.

Creating your character
Characters will be premade, and there will be six choices: a fighter, a cleric, a wizard, a sorcerer, a rogue, and a bard. This is a oneshot to see what Terra is like as a setting, so these will be used to better showcase some of the setting. Apologies if you wish to make a new character,
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need Google Chrome for FoundryVTT, and I will invite you to a Discord server.
What GM brings to the table
This game will have the characters, the VTT, the maps, and the content provided free of charge! All you need is Chome (FoundryVTT works best on it), Discord, a mic, and a few hours of free time and we can sling some dice! This is a combat/trap heavy session, as it is a simple oneshot. Each character will have unique abilities (something a PC of that level could obtain in a standard Terra campaign), so be sure to read the notes attached to the character sheet. Clear expectation to note: If you are in one of my current campaigns, you are not allowed to play in this one. This is for new players, to Terra or to Pathfinder 1e (or both!), let them have some fun!
Homebrew rules
We use Elephant in the Room rule system, and have homebrew rules based off something call a crimson coin. As an Immediate action, a PC can snap a coin to re-roll a single d20, or have an ally within 30 ft. re-roll a single d20. Each player gets three of these coins when they take over a character.
