About me
Hello fellow nerds! I’m Gambit and I’ve been deep in the tabletop RPG world for about 10 years now, mostly behind the GM screen. I started off with D&D 5e, but these days Pathfinder 2e has completely stolen my time. The detailed rules and build options scratch the same itch as good storytelling for me. I love digging into the numbers and systems just as much as I love roleplaying interesting characters or crafting adventures for my players. Whether it’s a social scene, a tough boss fight, or a night that goes completely off the rails, I’m all about making sure everyone’s having a great time at the table.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
When: Character creation will begin during Session 0 and continue asynchronously on Discord. This allows everyone time to discuss concepts, backgrounds, and questions. Tools: We’ll use the Pathbuilder app to build characters digitally, which helps track stats, abilities, and feats efficiently. Starting Level: All characters will begin at level 1, giving players the chance to grow and develop alongside the story. Stats: We’ll discuss ability score generation methods during Session 0, including point buy, standard array, or rolling (if preferred by the group). Any final adjustments will be made collaboratively to ensure balance. Backgrounds & Themes: Players are encouraged to bring ideas for character motivations, connections to Alkenstar, and possible links to other party members. This will help integrate characters into the story from the very beginning.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Join the Discord server – I'll send a link via message. Familiarize themselves with Pathbuilder – This will be the main tool for building and tracking characters. Players don’t need to fully master it before Session 0, but exploring it in advance can make character creation smoother. Think about character concepts – Encourage ideas for character backgrounds, motivations, and possible connections to other party members. This will help integrate everyone into the story.
What Gambit brings to the table
As your GM, I will provide: Maps – Detailed maps of locations, dungeons, and key areas for immersive exploration. NPCs – Fully fleshed-out characters with motivations, dialogue cues, and personalities to make the world feel alive. Art & Music – Visual and auditory elements to enhance the atmosphere during sessions. Rules Guidance – Clear explanations of Pathfinder 2e rules, with flexibility and house rules to keep gameplay smooth and fun. Session 0 – A free session dedicated to character creation, discussing campaign expectations, and answering questions so everyone is ready to start at level 1.

Safety
How Gambit creates a safe table
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, I will be using several tools and practices: Session 0 – A dedicated session to discuss boundaries, content preferences, and expectations before gameplay begins. Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist – A structured way to identify topics that players are comfortable with and any content to avoid. Debriefing – After intense or emotional sessions, we’ll take time to talk about what happened, check in with players, and address any concerns. Breaks – Players can request breaks at any time during sessions to step away or decompress without pressure.
