Additional Details

How to prepare

A microphone if available though we can use text via Discord if that is preferred. Discord will be another required item to download and hopefully a basic outline of what they would like to play that we will go over during Session Zero. If you have Pathfinder books, please bring those or the PDFs review when making characters and to have on hand to fully review all your relevant information when needed. Dice either digital or physical will be useful; if physical, a camera for the rolls. Character sheet printout for Pathfinder 1e and a digital copy to give me for review.

What I provide

I will bring dice, rulebooks, maps, potentially music and NPC list as well as notes on the Town of Alden for all players. I will also bring a PDF of the Homebrew rules I have so no one is caught unawares. During session Zero, we can veto rules not to the majorities liking if need be.

Gameplay details

Players can look forward to delving into a dark mystery that plagues the small, isolated, town of Alden. Winter is coming and as people are preparing for it, nature itself seems restless and increasingly dangerous; not only are there dark forces at play entrapping the people here but nature itself is dangerous and uncaring of the plight. I will try to balance these pieces: Exploration, investigation, combat and Roleplay. Combat itself will be dangerous not only on its own but in your ability to recover and travel because of it. Lamashan is near in then name of the Goddess Lamashtu and even the goblins appear braver than they should.

How will character creation work

In Session Zero I will clarify all matters regarding what players can expect, what Homebrew rules I bring and if players are accepting of the terms. I can always remove the homebrew for Raw. As for rolling characters, there is the Standard array however I opt for a faster method of rolling 7d12 - drop the lowest. All base stats are 8 + any racial bonuses/detriments. Races: I allow all races from the Core Rulebook Classes: I encourage all classes and allow tweaks to suit the player that suit the variant rules. There is the Core Rulebook, Advanced Players and Class guides, Horror Adventure and the Ultimate series.

Players can expect

  • Combat/Tactics: Medium
  • Roleplay: High
  • Puzzles: Low
  • Experience Level: Open to all
