About the adventure
In a remote, northern village, the ice fishermen report strange noises on the wind. Soon, some of them are coming back to town with injuries and tales of a great beast in the blizzard, if they come back at all. It's up to you to investigate and save the village! --- This is a learn-as-you-go adventure intended for a solo player or a small group to complete in the effort of learning Pathfinder 2e as a system. You won't be given any lengthy books to read and memorize for play, you can just show up at game time and options will be presented to you! By the end of it, you should have a good understanding of how the game is played and be confident enough to move on to adventure paths, a homebrew game, or even join Pathfinder Society games! 🧵 This game will be using premium content from Foundry VTT. I'll show you how to navigate its basic features and how they automate a lot of the math in PF2e so you don't have to do it yourself. In addition, I am the proud creator and patron of custom battlemaps which will definitely be included in the game. 🕰️ As this is a 2-hour session one-shot adventure, there won't be any Session 0 or prep session. Show up, sit down, and get into the game right away. This is NOT intended to be a game for those who already have a solid understanding of the base rules. 🦋 Life is hard; Playing roleplaying games shouldn't be. Your time is precious, and will be respected - I pride myself on giving everyone the attention and spotlight they deserve, and giving you an experience that leaves you hyped for the next game, and great times to share with your friends.

About me
I've been hosting games for friends and professionally for years now, and love to bring the spirit of adventure to the table. I've been enjoying Pathfinder and Starfinder a lot lately, and I love seeing the party work together to overcome challenges. Expect a game that will challenge your ability to work as a team tactically, mixed in with plenty of memorable characters and emotional moments. I love: ✅ Teaching the game to new players ✅ Crafting interesting encounters that challenge the players in different ways. ✅ Introducing memorable characters - even minor actors like the merchants and messengers! ✅ Seeing the players change the story through their interesting character choices and narrative decisions. No two games are alike. ✅ Giving the players options and loot they've never seen before - something special, just for them.

Creating your character
Ambitosis will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Be sure to jump into the Discord server (an invite will be sent) and let me know you're here for the learner adventure! No need to make a character, there will be several for you to choose from, but I'll walk you through how the choices were made.
What Ambitosis brings to the table
I'll be bringing plenty of resources to explain not only how to get started playing the game, but how to join other tables, what the ecosystem is like around Pathfinder Society, common tools that are used by players, and how to confidently move forward into full adventure paths.

How Ambitosis creates a safe table
You can always ask to skip over certain themes in the very short scenario. I'll be up front about what's in it, but you'll also have access to XNO cards in Foundry as well.
