About the adventure
This game will serve as your introduction to Pathfinder: Second Edition. I will personally walk you through the character creation process, introduce you to the foundational rules of the game and give you a full rundown on how to use FoundryVTT as a player. This introduction to Pathfinder: Second Edition is appropriate for people of all stages of their TTRPG journeys. You will be given access to all of my professional grade resources and experience, as well as constant contact for any questions you may have. The introductory adventure featured is called "Menace Under Otari". Released as the featured level 1 adventure for Pathfinder: Second Edition's Beginner Box, this adventure features all modes of play, including exploration, combat and social encounters. While this adventure serves as a fine foundation for your Pathfinder: Second Edition knowledge, it does not contain all of the lessons that will make you the ultimate roleplayer! If you are in search of deeper knowledge, you'll have to sign up to one of my longer term campaigns once you've mastered the basics.

About me
Hi there! My name's Rob, but I'm probably better known as TheBipolarDiceRoller. I have been running TTRPG sessions professionally for the last 9 years. Aside from my daily sessions, I also develop content for members of my Discord community. If you are interested in checking out some of my games, make sure to head over to my Twitch or YouTube channel: BipolarDiceRoller. - Rob, a.k.a Bipolar
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters must be prepared before the session takes place. Typically we will hold a session 0/1 in which everyone will put their characters together, enquire about specifics and conclude their concepts. I'm typically available at most hours of the day to discuss character creation (amongst other concerns) via my Discord server.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Video is not required but also not discouraged. All players require a microphone to participate in sessions, preferably one of ample quality. Rules research is not required but encouraged (you will need to know enough to be capable of creating a character). I frequently make myself available to discuss rules and assist with learning. You must have a browser installed capable of accessing the Forge (a Foundry Cloud Hosting Site) and a device capable of running the VTT. Lastly, Discord will be utilised as vehicle of communication as well as our music hosting service.
What Bipolar brings to the table
I will provide players with a fully outfitted adventure module with which to play the campaign on. This includes, but is not limited to the following; High Resolution Visual Resources and Effects, Automated Character and NPC Actors, Atmospheric Sound Cues and Adventure Resource Storage.
Homebrew rules
My tables utilise the following variant rules: Ancestry Paragon, Free Archetype and Gradual Ability Boosts, though for this adventure there will be no variant rules used at the table.

Safety
How Bipolar creates a safe table
I typically run my games using the rules as prescribed, but if an obvious discrepancy or interesting opportunity arises, the exact ruling may be relaxed to compensate. I pride myself on constructing an in depth and dynamic narrative for my players, one which revolves around and is directly influenced by their decisions. Therefore, inter-character roleplay is encouraged at my tables, and individualism is discouraged (unless it makes narrative sense and doesn't significantly exclude others from play).
