About the adventure

There is no AI-generation used in this game. All posts are exclusively written by me and no AI-artwork will be used. Prepare to set sail for the Indigo Isles! Mysteries abound in the pirate town of Rumplank, but none is as well known as the legend of Poppy von Barnacle's lost treasure. This epic story will challenge you in ways never seen before and you can experience an adventure written by three of history's most experienced adventure writers. We'll play through three individual adventures: - Search for the Missing Map (levels 1-3) by Patrick Renie - Voyage to Runaway Reef (levels 4-7) by Ron Lundeen - Battle at Barnacle Bay (levels 8-11) by Linda Zayas-Palmer All maps have been created by legendary cartography & illustration Jared Blando. We'll be using the Remaster Rules and playing on Discord. Maps will be provided through Google Slides. The expectation is that you'll post at least once a day. I will post several times a day depending on what's happening. To make it even more enjoyable, I'm requiring that everyone choose a background from the Jewel of the Indigo Isles Player's Guide: https://battlezoo.com/products/jewel-of-the-indigo-isles-players-guide

About me

Hi there! My name is Joe and I live on the east coast near New York City in the US. Highly experienced in D&D, Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 2e, I've been DMing since 1991 and I have thousands of hours of experience. On Start Playing, I run Play-by-Discord games. I do not use any AI-generated art or writing, and all posts are written by me or the original adventure writer. My favorite thing about playing RPGs is role-playing, problem solving, combat, and planning. I often throw humor into my roleplaying and horror into my GMing. ​ I love fantasy and science fiction books, movies, and TV. I play tons of video games, mainly RPGs, action adventure, and strategy games. I've been married since 2013 and I have two young children. Drop me a line and say hello. Good gaming!

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll be using the Pathfinder 2e Remaster rules. Make your character concept as complex or simple as you like! Please use Pathbuilder (Remaster) to make a new 1st-level character from the Battlezoo campaign setting, or I can walk you through character creation if you want help with importing the Battlezoo ancestries into Pathbuilder.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We'll be playing on Discord. Maps will be provided through Google Slides. The expectation is that you'll post at least once a day. I will post much more often than that. We'll take breaks for major US holidays and when I'm on vacation. You will need: - Discord account (free) - The ability to post on Discord at least once a day - Pathbuilder account (free) - Reliable internet connection - An eager and pleasant attitude and a desire to have fun

What togashi_joe brings to the table

I'll provide an organized Discord server with Bots (RPG Sage, Tupperbox, and Thread-Watcher), maps and tokens on Google Slides, images for all NPCs, detailed descriptions with a passion for writing and improvisation, and an experience that focuses on players and fun first and foremost! I'll be posting on Discord several times a day depending on what's happening.

Homebrew rules

Variant Rules we'll use: - Free Archetype - Gradual Ability Boosts (GAB) with a special caveat for game balance; you're not allowed to increase an ability score to +5 until level 10 (rather than level 7).
