Seven Dooms to Runelords | Learn PF2e, Levels 1–20

Creating your character

Characters begin at level 1, using Pathfinder 2e's Remastered rules and standard attribute boosts—no rolled statistics. I'll help you build and review your character before play, with Discord available for questions and Session 0 for connecting the party and getting everyone comfortable with the game. Our story begins in Osprey Cove. Your character has a personal connection to one of the heroes who once saved Sandpoint: family, a mentor, a longtime friend, or another relationship we develop together. You do not need to know the old adventures or their lore. I'll provide the campaign Player's Guide and help you create a connection that makes sense for your character. Bring a character who has a reason to answer the call to adventure and work with the party. A fully planned build is welcome, but a cool idea is plenty to start with. Pathbuilder and Foundry VTT are recommended for character building; I'll help translate your concept into a working Foundry sheet. Character options will be reviewed against the campaign guide, with uncommon and rare options requiring approval. We begin with ordinary level 1 adventurers. Mythic rules and destinies enter the campaign later, as we approach Revenge of the Runelords. We'll handle those choices together when the time comes.

Preparing for the session

Before your first session: 1. Join my Discord server using the invitation supplied after booking. Campaign resources, announcements, character discussion, and game links will be there. 2. Have a computer, a stable internet connection, and a clear microphone. Headphones are strongly recommended. Install the Discord desktop app and test your audio. 3. Create a free account at ForgeVTT.com. We'll use Foundry VTT through your desktop browser; Chrome works well. You do not need to buy Foundry or install it on your computer. I'll provide the campaign invitation and help you get connected. 4. Read the opening campaign information and character guidance I provide. Bring a level 1 character concept, or ask me for help finding one. Please avoid reading the adventures themselves so you can enjoy discovering their secrets at the table. 5. Message me privately about accessibility needs, topics you want excluded, or anything you need to feel comfortable playing. You don't need to memorize Pathfinder's rules or buy rulebooks. I'll point you toward free rules references and beginner resources, and we'll learn through play. Arrive a few minutes early so we can sort out any audio or character-sheet issues.

What Gamersaurus Lex brings to the table

I provide an immersive Foundry VTT game with detailed maps, lighting, tokens, handouts, atmospheric music, sound effects, and automation that keeps play moving. You'll also have Discord channels for campaign discussion, reference materials, and between-session conversation, along with character-building help and guidance on free Pathfinder rules resources. My NPCs have personalities, voices, habits, loyalties, and things they want. Get to know them. A friend in the right place—or a question nobody else thought to ask—can be worth more than another sword. Investigation, exploration, social encounters, and character relationships all have a place alongside challenging tactical combat. I customize adventures around the people at my table. Give me something your character cares about, and I'll look for ways to make it matter. Unexpected plans are welcome, and you can describe what your character does without putting on a voice or performing a monologue. There is room here for enthusiastic roleplayers, tactical thinkers, curious explorers, and quieter players who enjoy being part of the story. I generally follow the rules as written so you can trust how your character works. I also embrace creative ideas and the Rule of Cool when they make the scene better without undermining another player's abilities. Enemies can be dangerous, and character death is possible. I'm rooting for the party, but your victories will be earned. New to PF2e or Foundry? I'll help you get comfortable with both. The campaign starts small and grows in complexity alongside your characters.

Homebrew rules

I use a few player-friendly house rules: - Generous Aid: Helping another character is encouraged, with more accessible Aid rulings and no downside for a critical failure. - Bestiary Tracking: Successful Recall Knowledge checks are remembered. When you encounter the same creature—or a closely related creature—you retain relevant discoveries from previous encounters. - Hero Points: During the non-mythic portion of the campaign, everyone receives a Hero Point at the beginning of the session and after the mid-session break. The previous session's player-voted MVP begins with an additional Hero Point. - Between-Session Fiction: Players who contribute campaign fiction to Discord receive a bonus die, usually a d6, to add to one roll during the following session. This is completely optional; I don't assign homework. - Fortune Effects: Hero Points and bonus dice count as Fortune effects, so they generally cannot modify the same roll or stack with another Fortune effect. We'll review the mythic rules and any adjustments to these table rules before the campaign's mythic phase begins.

How Gamersaurus Lex creates a safe table

This is heroic fantasy with dark material: sinister cults, supernatural illness, disturbing transformations, murder, undead, and threats to people the party cares about. We will discuss the campaign's tone and your Lines and Veils during Session 0. Lines exclude a topic; Veils keep it off-screen or limit its description. Nobody needs to explain or justify a boundary. Players can pause, redirect, or leave a scene at any time, with no explanation required. My Open Door policy applies throughout the campaign. We'll take breaks, check in after difficult scenes, and finish sessions with a brief debrief. You're always welcome to contact me privately, and boundaries can change as we play. Respectful communication and cooperation are expected. Any romantic storyline between player characters requires the other player's agreement beforehand; explicit sexual content stays off-screen. The goal is an exciting adventure that everyone can enjoy together.
