Learn to Play Pathfinder 2e | Blood Lords - The Land of the Dead

Creating your character

We will create characters together in session 0 on Foundry, with all characters starting at level 1. I strongly recommend using Pathbuilder to help with this but it is not required. You may use any content available on Archives of Nethys. Let me know if you want anything not yet available on there so I can reference the material elsewhere, such as on Demiplane or in the relevant book. All Common and Uncommon options are okay to use. Rare undead options are highly encouraged! Check out the free Player's Guide for some ideas for the module: https://downloads.paizo.com/BloodLords_PlayersGuide.pdf - note that some relevant options have been added to the game since the publication of this, such as playable ghouls, werecreatures and vampires, all of which are highly encouraged! You may use the Necromancer class playtest in this campaign: https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/pathfinder2e/classes/necromancer-playtest

Preparing for the session

You will need a Discord account as we will be using it for text and voice communication. You will also need an account on Forge VTT as the game will be hosted there.

What Spey brings to the table

I keep a varied balance of tactical combat, in-depth roleplay and freeform exploration in my games. I have an extensive library of music to use, many high quality maps, and will make use of some Foundry special effects to add flair to the game. I mostly run rules as written but am always open to player creativity. If you have a good idea you want to try, I will make it work. I try to keep this balanced with the normal options as to not overshadow engaging with the core mechanics. I have a pretty wide vocal range from voice training so I do some NPC voices, but I am no professional voice actress!

How Spey creates a safe table

Session 0 will go over the content of the game, what to expect and what people may find too uncomfortable. Where possible I will modify content to account for this, such as by toning down violence or replacing enemies such as spiders. As this is a horror themed adventure path, altering content may sometimes be difficult or impossible while fitting into the theme and story. We will discuss Lines and Veils in session 0 to make sure we have a good idea going into this what people are okay with and whether this adventure is a good fit. Please be aware of this and feel free to back out if early sessions are too much for you - I will happily refund you! At any time players may press the X button on Foundry or say "X Card" and we will break for a discussion to sort out the issue and keep the game going after with the triggering content amended or removed.
