About the adventure
Ixion's Rest will begin with our heroes as part of a caravan traveling to the site of Ixion's Rest for a festival. Ixion is a Titan, a colossal entity, mountain like in size, that is credited with being the Father of the species of centaurs, horses, and the orcs that live upon his plain. For most of the year, Ixion walks endlessly in circles around the plains, constantly followed by storm clouds which bring the only rain the plains ever receive. But once a year, Ixion stops and rests on a plateau on the western edge of his territory for one day. Each year, the local centaurs, plains orcs, and others who call the valley home gather at Ixion's Rest, for a massive festival, to celebrate the father of all tribes, and the life giving rain he brings. This year however, something terrible will go wrong, and the PCs will be thrust into action, to save their people, the innocent, and defeat a mysterious and unknown villain behind these events. Can the orc and centaur and others of the plains unite in the face of a collective threat, or will their old grudges leave them splintered? Will the cause of the catastrophe be uncovered? Will our heroes make a name for themselves and be remembered? Or will they fall to the scourge.

About me
I am a Game Master with twenty years of experiance, and an amateur Vtuber and TTRPG content creator. I have experience in a dozen systems, and am interested in running games both recorded for Youtube and private. One of my proudest achievements was a multi-year experiment in which I ran more than half a dozen D&D 5e campaigns in a shared world with many crossovers and some special events. It was a very amazing experience, and the created a rich homebrew setting to play in. However, I am moving away from D&D 5th edition in favor of other systems. I have recently (the last year or so) become a big fan of Pathfinder 2e, in addition I also have a strong interest in OSR style games, such as Old School Essentials and Worlds Without Number. I am also a huge fan of GURPS, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Dungeon World, Fate, and enjoy Savage Worlds, Edge of the Empire, Legends of the Five Rings, and a variety of other PbtA systems as well, and am looking to run Pathfinder 2e more, and more ORS style systems.

Creating your character
During Session 0, we will make characters collaboratively, while discussing the themes and goals of the campaign. This campaign takes place in my homebrew setting of Terradraconum. As such the list of available/common/uncommon ancestries is different than the default for PF2e, and a couple of homebrew ancestries are available. Links to my homebrew setting Players Document will be provided on my server. We will be using the Free Archetype rule, and starting the game at Level 2, where you get your first Archetype Feat. However, it is preferred to use your Free Archetype for thematic options more so than optimization. Each campaign will include a list of recommended Archetypes handpicked for Session 0 to help tie your character to the themes of the campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a free Discord account, in order to join my private server where I host all of my games. Once you join the Discord server, links to my Foundry will be provided, you do not need to create an account.
What Kaybe Angel brings to the table
In this campaign you can expect tactical combat and dungeon exploration, accompanied by ambient music I provide through Watch2Gether and a large and ever growing collection of battle-maps that I have from dozens of artists I back on Patreon, along with custom dungeons built by me.
Homebrew rules
There will be homebrew character options available, along with homebrew monsters, items, and other content.

How Kaybe Angel creates a safe table
We will discuss the themes of the campaign, during session 0, but in general I expect this campaign to be more high adventure. I do welcome any players to request either during session 0 or privately in DMs for any specific phobias or triggers to be avoided. Some cannot be, due to the nature of the campaign, but if I have a request to not use Spiders, for instance, I will work around such requests. Due to simply the mechanics of the game, Character Death is always a possibility. Beyond that, you can expect typical levels of fantasy violence, undead creatures, and twisted monsters.
