About the adventure
Bastion of Blasphemies is a megadungeon campaign set in Bastardhall, a legendary gothic castle in Ustalav (read: fantasy Transylvania) that is shrouded in fog, opening once every century. Fate, friendship, or freakin' bad luck have brought you to this bastion of evil. Like all megadungeons, this will be a combat-heavy adventure, but also like all megadungeons, there will be opportunities for guile, social grace, and superior knowledge to win the day. Several factions exist in the haunted halls of this castle, and navigating your way through social barbs can be a means to victory. This adventure will have horror themes, but will mostly be a lighthearted hack-and-slash, highlighting Pathfinder Second Edition's dynamic combat system.

About me
I'm Ryan and I love running Pathfinder 2e! I came on over from DnD 5th edition and have been running 1 to 4 games a week for about 4 years now. My style tends towards cinematic, fast-paced combat with a lot of humor. I love doing ridiculous voices for my NPCs and letting players get away "rule of cool" shenanigans. I've got an active Discord community posting about Pathfinder, video games and the like. Come on by and join a table! All tables are of course queer-friendly and we have a friendly Discord community for folks trying to wrap their heads around Pathfinder 2e.

Creating your character
We'll create characters mostly on the Discord before Session 0, with final touches giving in Session 0. Popular tools like Pathbuilder are a good option, and Foundry has good character building tools as well. All core books are open, but Adventure Path options are default banned (except of course for the ones in this Adventure). We'll be level 5 characters, and this game will feature Free Archetype, with the provison that I am going to be juicing the encounters for the power boost that comes along with it!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Come along on the Discord https://discord.gg/wdsMK5Gkt8 There will be a link to the Foundry Forge server there. You will need accounts for both systems (they're free!)
What Ryan brings to the table
Ambient music, dry humor, way too much game knowledge from playing this system for years, tactical combat, and a brisk pace
Homebrew rules
As mentioned above, we'll be using the Free Archetype variant rule. In addition, I'll be using Gradual Ability Boost. I have a handful of other house rules that open up generic human feats and provide automatic skill feat progression for Medicine.

How Ryan creates a safe table
I do have a virtual X card ready to go--this is anonymous and is activated by hitting a button in Foundry. This campaign will have some horror themes, but mostly in the "ooh spooky haunted house" way rather than the "trying to get into your head" kind of way.
