About the adventure
Become the Legend! The port of Bailax hosts lavish funeral games for a recently deceased hero, inviting all to compete for prizes and glory. When your group investigates an ominous omen that interrupts the festivities, what you find won’t just transform you all into mythic hero-gods, but also incite Bailax to violent revelry and arson. Can these new hero-gods stop the city from self destruction? The Myth-Speaker Adventure Path is a three-book campaign for mythic characters of 1st to 10th level in which a group of adventurers assume the role of regional hero-gods and have the opportunity to restore the tradition of myth-speaking to a realm inspired by Ancient Greece.

About me
Hey there! I'm Apollo, and I've been playing tabletops off and on since the early 90s. I got back into the swing of playing online and dungeons and dragons 5th edition almost a decade ago, and switched to pathfinder 2nd edition head first after the OGL debacle. Now I'm addicted and want to help show you how awesome and not scary pathfinder 2e is. I enjoy pushing the narrative in a story while seeing how individual players and tables can change and adapt tellings to themselves. I've been running games on foundry for over 5 years at this point, so I'm very comfortable with the medium. I've run many groups full 1-20 campaigns, and some that are on their 3rd+ full campaign with me! My players should be self-reliant and motivated about their characters as we progress through a story. Unlike 5e, player agency to know what your character is capable of is required, so if this is your first foray into pathfinder 2e, come at it with only that expectation. "The GM will teach me the rules and how to play, but I am responsible for learning my character."

Creating your character
Ideally make a template for your build-outs on something like pathbuilder so that you can reference it during level-up blocks. Characters themselves will be built and maintained through foundryvtt. Starting level is 1, and we will use the free-archetype and gradual ability boost as optional variant rules. Ultimately, refer to the player's guide for Myth-Speaker for guidance on character creation appropriate to the story and setting.
