About me

Greetings! I am Ciaran King O'Leary (Actually my real name. It doesn't get more Irish) Right off the bat, I want to make it very clear that my Number One goal as a DM is fun. Fun for both you the players and myself as the DM. I promote great roleplay and sometimes that leads to conflicts in game. I want to make sure those conflicts stay in game, and we can explore those roleplay opportunities without it turning into a fight to the death. We're all here to have fun, so let's not make it harder on each other. I have been both playing and running games of Pathfinder 1e for 15 years now. I have run horror games, high fantasy games, and so many more. I do also run DND 5e games, but not professionally at the moment. If you're looking to book me for a 5e game, I'm definitely open to it! I offer both Adventure Paths created by Paizo and my own Custom World and Adventure. I own every adventure path that has been officially released,so if there's one in particular you want to play in, please let me know! (Not Kingmaker.) I believe I am a fair GM, often employing "Rule of Cool" in situations I feel warrant it. I almost always use Hero Points to add some flavor to the room, and as far as I'm concerned, Elephant in the Room is a must-have for any Pathfinder 1e game. That's not to say there is no danger. I make all of my rolls in the open (unless otherwise required for story or tension). I offer 24/7 access to the Foundry World for your game. I have purchased a license for each one of them so that you can make edits to your character whenever you wish. This includes over 100 Modules working together to deliver as immersive an experience as possible. Beginners need not fear though, I am a great teacher and very patient, so we will get you up to speed asap. Before we begin each session, I will be reading out a Recap of the previous week's Session. These will be available to read at any time, both in the Foundry World and in my Discord Channel K.O. Gaming. I'm looking forward to playing with you all soon!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need to familiarize yourself with the Player Handbook of Curse of the Crimson Throne, and I'll put the link for that below. This is a link to the revised version, so you can get a feel for the campaign and what's good to play before Session 0. https://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo5lj5k?Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Players-Guide

What K.O. Gaming brings to the table

In-Depth Knowledge of the Adventure Path: My thorough understanding of Curse of the Crimson Throne guarantees a rich and authentic experience, enabling smooth navigation through the story's intricate plotlines. Immersive World-Building: I excel at crafting vivid and engaging settings, ensuring players are fully immersed in the gritty and vibrant world of Korvosa. Foundry VTT Expertise: Utilizing the robust Foundry Virtual Tabletop, I provide a visually stunning and interactive platform for gameplay, complete with detailed maps, tokens, and dynamic lighting. Dedicated Discord Server: My Discord server serves as a reliable hub for out-of-game discussions, strategy planning, and player camaraderie, fostering a strong sense of community. Engaged Player Community: My small but enthusiastic group of players contributes varied perspectives and energy, ensuring a dynamic and collaborative storytelling experience. Weekly Campaign Recaps: I provide weekly recaps of the campaign's events, ensuring players don’t have to rely on memory or their own notes to stay up-to-date with the story.

Homebrew rules

We will be using Elephant in the Room (The Website version) to make feat taxes a little less awful. We also use Hero Points in all of my games.
