About the adventure
For ages, the orcs of Belkzen have been marginalized, subjugated, and vilified, relegated to the rocky northern wastes. Yet in recent battles waged against their undead nemeses, orcs showed the world that they have a common enemy—the evil lich-lord known as the Whispering Tyrant. Now, openminded leaders like Ardax the White-Hair have initiated a grand diplomatic campaign to bury old grudges and forge alliances across the continent. There are few takers. In the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, the PCs are dignitaries representing the few orc communities or foreign organizations who answered Ardax's call. Their mission of peace soon turns violent when supernatural weather disasters, betrayals, undead uprisings, and even deicide turn the orcs' homeland into a desperate battlefield. With the PCs' help, Belkzen won't just survive, but will earn the respect it has always deserved!

About me
Ever roll a Nat 1 and immediately regret your life choices? I’m here to make those moments unforgettable. Hi, I’m Lucas, a professional Game Master since 2021 (GMing since 2011), with thousands hours of experience running adventures across multiple systems. 🎲What’s it like at my table?🎲 "Make me attack roll." "I rolled a 2." (sad player) "That’s a miss." And that’s just the start! 💡Common things you will hear in my sessions:💡 "Wow, you’re all rolling really badly tonight." "You can try it, sure, let's see how it goes." "How did this even happen?" Of course, it’s not all jokes, my role as a GM is making sure everyone is having a good time at the table. Most of my games are all about sitting around, having a good time, invest into the campaign and roll dice. Whether you want a lot of roleplaying, epic combats, or fun banter, I create each session to your group’s style. Some parties come for drama, others for chaos, and some just want to roast my NPC names.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
• Players can create their characters using any ancestry and class, regardless of rarity. Backgrounds are common and uncommon only, with exceptions based on player request. • I allow most uncommon items/features, feel free to ask. Rare is a little more restrictive but might still be allowed. • Variant Rules: Free Archetype. • I allow players to change their features for the first 2 levels (in this campaign, until we reach level 6) without needing to go through retraining or changing characters. Sometimes, a certain feature/spell/class doesn't work as the player expected, so I allow this change as if nothing happened in-game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I require my players to have the following: • Decent microphone. • Decent internet connection. • Consistent schedule. • Discord to use voice chat (account is required).
What Lucas brings to the table
• I will bring all what you need in Foundry and an extensive knowledge of the rules of the system. • New players are welcomed. I taught many new Pathfinder 2e players throughout the years. • I automate Foundry beyond the default automation. • While most rules are online, I can provide PDFs if necessary.
Homebrew rules
I have a document that includes a few suggested changes, such as picking Archetype Skill Feats as Archetype Feats, Recall Knowledge suggestions etc.
