About the adventure
Countless mysteries and secret machinations rest beneath the shattered lands that were once Azlant. Most of them are deeply buried and long destroyed, but now and then, mishaps or seismic activity jostle something loose that can threaten the lives of those on the surface. It has happened before. It’s happening now. In this low-level campaign, you will explore the islands of TalmanTalmandor'sy and Vil-Azmar as well as the mysterious tower at the center of the spreading darkness.

About me
I've been playing and running games for 25 years. I'm excited about exploring story and character arcs and most importantly having a good time. Everyone having fun at the table is my goal.

Creating your character
Please create 1st-level characters through Pathbuilder here: https://pathbuilder2e.com/ Since we are using free archetype, gradual ability boost, and Ancestral Paragon rules, you will need to enable those options when doing character creation. If you have any trouble with this, no worries! I will help you with character creation within Foundry. I recommend checking out the player's guide for this module here: https://downloads.paizo.com/ShadesOfBlood_PlayersGuide.pdf
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord account for play, a headset or microphone and speakers, and preferably a pathbuilder account. I will also need a portrait for your character so I can create an icon for them.
What Dante brings to the table
I will be running the game by Foundry VTT. It will include the maps, monsters, NPC's and everything else that comes with the adventure. The game will feature ambient music. I'll try to do voices for different characters. While I generally run my game rules as written, I make exceptions for smart decisions and fun options.
Homebrew rules
Ancestral Paragon, Gradual Ability Boost and Free archetype Critical hit and fumble decks will also be an option

Safety
How Dante creates a safe table
Session 0 and open DM's policy. I do not tolerate racism, homophobia, or transphobia in my games. If any player has any concerns, they can relay them to me, and I will address them without breaking their anonymity.
