About the adventure
The small seaside town of Otari is known for its fresh fish and skilled sailors, but above all, it’s a big logging town, providing valuable wood to the nearby metropolis of Absalom. But for you, Otari is home. You grew up playing on the docks, getting lost in the nearby woods, and hearing the fantastical stories of travelers from faraway lands, tales of terrifying dragons and virtuous knights. Such adventure always seemed so distant- until today. Word has begun to spread around Otari that there's a problem down at the Otari Fishery. Some are saying that some sort of beast is lurking in the basement, feeding on the stores of salted fish. Folks are worried that whatever is eating the fish might get hungry enough to eat the fishers next! You've received a letter from Tamily Tanderveil, the owner of the Fishery. Inside is a desperate plea for help. With the town guard busy protecting the loggers, she needs a few brave souls to venture down into the basement of her warehouse and put an end to the beast that's feasting on her fish! Do you have the courage to face the menace under Otari? This will be play in a play by post format on Discord in a asynchronous way. This is a short "campaign", you will go from level to level 2. It is the perfect introduction to Pathfinder 2e. The game will cost 8$/week

What BlackStrum brings to the table
I bring a fully-equipped Discord server to the game, designed to enhance your play-by-post experience. The server includes multiple channels tailored for different aspects of the adventure. You will have a dedicated channel for roleplaying the main adventure, an OOC discussion channel for out-of-character talk, and specific channels for dice rolling and testing your rolls. I’ll be sharing relevant images in a picture channel to help set the scene, and during battles, I’ll use Foundry to manage the maps, posting updated versions in the battlemap channel. Additionally, each player will have their own private one-on-one channel with me for anything that requires individual attention or direct communication.

How BlackStrum creates a safe table
My game prioritizes creating a safe and respectful environment for all players. It’s essential that everyone feels comfortable and valued throughout our sessions. Here are some key practices we’ll follow to ensure a positive experience: Respect and Inclusion: Every participant's feelings and boundaries are important. We’ll foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, where everyone can express themselves without fear of judgment or discomfort. Open Communication: If any aspect of the game makes you uncomfortable or if you have concerns, you’re encouraged to speak up. We’ll maintain an open dialogue to address any issues promptly and effectively. Consent in Roleplay: While the game may involve intense scenarios, including conflict and combat, it’s vital that all roleplaying interactions, especially those involving sensitive topics, are consensual. If a situation feels too intense or crosses a personal boundary, it’s okay to pause and discuss how to proceed in a way that works for everyone. Supportive Atmosphere: We’re here to have fun and enjoy a shared story. Creating a supportive and non-judgmental space is key to everyone’s enjoyment. Encouraging each other and being mindful of how our actions affect others is central to our play. Respect for Boundaries: We will establish clear boundaries for the game, and it’s important that these are respected by all. If someone expresses discomfort or sets a limit, it will be honored without question. By embracing these practices, we ensure that our game remains a fun, engaging, and safe space for everyone involved.
