About me
Hey, what's up! My name is Kunkun and I am a 24-year-old Game Master with over 7 years of experience in 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, Shadowdark RPG and recently, Pathfinder Second Edition! If you're looking for a game to immerse yourself in a fantasy world with interesting combat, puzzles and social encounters, I'm the GM for you! My table is an identity inclusive space, meaning that regardless of your race, ethnicity, religion, social class, gender or any other identity, I will always aim to ensure an environment where you are welcome to express yourself. Those uninterested in fostering such a space are unwelcome. Additionally, I have a policy against the use of AI generative text, imagery or audio during my game sessions and in preparation. Rest assured knowing that your is handcrafted.

Creating your character
Character creation will be a collaborative effort between the GM and players, in order to best integrate your character's concept into the world and make you truly feel a part of it. Mechanically speaking, King's Elm will be using the Pathfinder 2e Ruleset using the Automatic Bonus Progression variant rule. If you've never made a character in Pathfinder 2e before, or if you've never played a roleplaying game at all, don't worry! Your GM will guide you through every step of the process. Creating a character is probably one of the most daunting things a new player can experience, so rest assured you will receive plenty of support. Player character ideas of all varieties are welcome, but players are encouraged to take heed their Game Master's advice when creating their character to increase the fun your players will be having.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players are expected to have the following: 🎤 A working microphone 💬 A Discord account ⚔️ A Forge-VTT account (which will be used to host our Foundry VTT) All tools listed above are free to use and players will never be asked to invest in third party tools or software to play. A stable internet connection is a hard requirement.

Homebrew rules
Pathfinder 2e is a complicated game, and sometimes it is better for the sake of the story to continue playing rather than search the rulebook for the exact solution. As such, rulings will frequently be made that may be different from what is written. These rulings will always be made in favor of the player's chances, and will never be made to increase the likelihood of a player character dying. The Automatic Bonus Progression rule will be used during the campaign. Additionally, characters may freely unsheathe a weapon or item of their choice at the start of their turns. This is not a very crunchy campaign. I'm afraid that if you are looking for that sort of thing, this may not be the right game for you.

How Kunkun DM creates a safe table
❗❗❗ IMPORTANT: Child abuse, sexual obscenity and sexual violence, whether direct or alluded to, are unwelcome at this table. Violating this rule will result in direct expulsion without negotiation. This is no space for your thinly veiled fantasies. A mandatory, anonymous questionnaire will be handed to each player in which they will be able to privately share their stars & wishes, expectations and importantly, sensitive content the players do not wish to be included in the game. This information will not be shared between anyone. Your GM may elect to list the content that should be avoided during playtime in order to prevent other players from overstepping your boundaries, but never will your name be attached to this information. X, N & O cards are fully integrated into the VTT, allowing for completely anonymous raising to everyone at the table, even to the GM. Session 0 will be an open table discussion about our group expectations for the game including policies on inter-party conflict, scheduling, player and GM conduct, interparty relationships and a variety of minor topics related to making everyone feel welcome when they first sit down at the table. This will also be a space for players to voice their concerns if they feel the need to do so publicly.
