Creating your character

Characters will start at level 1. Character creation will be made either by the player with help or by figuring out a time to do it together, with players sharing their plans on discord to build a party. Mechanicswise, - All pathfinder 2e ancestries (except Sprites, for lore reasons) are valid, and reflavors and skins are fine (for instance, I play a sphinx using centaur). I also allow any ancestry to change their +++- or ++ stat boost distribution. - All classes are valid, and any reflavor of the existing classes is valid as long as it's consistent with the setting (for instance, I play an Inventor skin Exemplar, where the spark is the power core of the suit). - We'll be using Free Archetype, and no other variant rules (up for voting in session 0). - Uncommon and Rare Items and Spells are allowed on a case-by-case basis, because some of them are too contextual for the adventure they come from, too weak or too strong.

Preparing for the session

Microphones are a must. Discord will be used and FoundryVTT doesn't have to be downloaded. A basic understanding of at least Chapter 9: Playing the Game of the Pathfinder 2e CRB is also expected (it's available for free online), and if we have beginners we'll go over more mechanics as the game progresses. There is also a 10-ish page Player's Guide available for free talking a bit about the setting and some recommendations for languages, spells and enemies you'll face which is a good read.

What Emy brings to the table

Usually Rules as Intended, but I use the mechanics to tell a story and that's the most important part. We reflavor things, we change things, as long as we keep balance and fun in mind, and everyone agrees, I'm up to try. My roleplay is deep, voiced and immersive, and I use discord bots for BGM if the players want to keep them on. My combats aren't hard, but I like challenging my players to think and see if their builds are versatile enough to handle different types of foes, challenges, environments, and such. More info @ my introduction https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DU0pkt0OiQKFxPZvldXk_OWEtFogfImgtWHMHkflxbQ/edit?usp=sharing The material for the campaign will be on Foundry, including the official art for NPCs, and some artists' interpretations of them, the official maps or maps I acquired or are available for free, as I see fit, and I'll have my own interpretation of the story, encounters and NPCs to make the game unique for the group, instead of blindly following the book. I also bring 4 years of experience with the system (the entirety of it's life!) so I believe I'm a good judge for balancing and teacher for rules explaining.

Homebrew rules

Houserules are better organized over @ my introduction https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DU0pkt0OiQKFxPZvldXk_OWEtFogfImgtWHMHkflxbQ/edit?usp=sharing

How Emy creates a safe table

A session-long session 0 going over my style, everyone's preferences and expectations, any triggers and discomforts, along with anything that has to be discussed before game. Every session ends with a moment to realign expectations, give feedback for both the GM and the other players, so we're always aligned with what we like, want and expect. Scenes stop if any players asks for it to stop, anywhere, anytime, no questions asked. Player comfort and agency is of the highest importance.
