About the adventure
Something sinister is stirring in the mysterious Gauntlight Keep, the ruins of a landlocked lighthouse on the horizon of the small fishing community of Otari. The town's latest heroes must band together to explore the Gauntlight, braving traps, monsters and intrigue galore to discover the source of the ominous light from the top of the lighthouse. Abomination Vaults is a pre-written megadungeon style adventure path from Paizo from the Pathfinder 2E system, taking adventurers from level 1 to 11 to become the heroes Otari needs.

About me
I’m a passionate tabletop roleplaying game GM who loves bringing immersive stories to life and creating welcoming tables for players of all experience levels. I’ve been involved in tabletop RPGs for about nine years now, both as a player and as a Game Master. During that time I’ve run a wide range of games, starting with 5e and Curse Of Strahd, before eventually moving to more homebrew stories and worlds (though that wasn't a huge jump for me after my players' catastrophic blunders in the second town of Barovia, I effectively had to rewrite the module from the ground up). I especially enjoy helping new players discover how fun and collaborative tabletop gaming can be, while also giving experienced players meaningful choices, memorable NPCs, and exciting challenges.

Creating your character
You will begin as level 1 PCs with a meaningful connection to the town of Otari and the local eccentric merchant, Wrin Sivinxi. I recommend you have a couple of concepts that excite you prior to the session 0 where we'll work together to create a party to take on the challenge. This session 0 will also be a good opportunity to work out if we need to run the Beginner Box prior to delving into the Gauntlight!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Discord account to play, as well as a decent quality headset/microphone and decent internet connection. Video is optional.

How Sam creates a safe table
During session 0 we'll create our own set of safety rules and topics we don't want to see in the game. After or during the game, please feel free to message me and we can discuss any further additions we need to make here on an ad hoc basis.
