An Eye For An Eye

About the adventure

An adventurer has received a letter telling of the opportunity of a lifetime: a job to protect an emperor as he travels to broker peace between nations. The details beyond that are vague, but for whatever reason - be it the pay, the opportunity for glory, or just plain curiosity - this adventure, and all the others given the same chance, have decided to take up the job, unaware they are to be pawns in the resurrection of an elder god. ------- Each player will play an adventurer with some experience under their belt, and who are given an incredible, albeit sketchy job, but taking a chance have decided to take on the job and see what it has to offer. As the story progresses, the party will uncover plots to assassinate the emperor they're set to protect, that cultists are working to summon a long dead elder god, and that the world will soon come to an end if no one is able to stop it. The players will take the roles of the heroes of our story, and will work together to, hopefully, save the world. This campaign will take place in a high fantasy, homebrew world using the Pathfinder 1e ruleset as a basis. The world is set in a Victorian style era, with a mix of magic and technology dominating it. The game will have an equal focus on narrative and combat, and as a result, enjoyment of both roleplaying and combat are strongly encouraged!

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players need a decent quality mic, and a Discord account. I strongly encourage players to read at least some of the rules before our first session, but strong familiarity with the rules is not at all required. Characters will be created as a group session 0, dice and character sheets will be handled over Foundry.

What I provide

I will provide the books for this system, as well as art for the characters and combat maps for each combat. Additionally, art will be provided of most villains as well, and I will handle set up for the game so the players just have to show up.

Gameplay details

This game will feature violence, death, war, religion, cultism, sacrifices, and a generally dark tone. Other potential triggers will appear depending on the type of campaign the players agree on, but to help eliminate any potential discomfort, the game will feature a session zero, lines/veils, X cards, and an open door policy, to ensure the comfort of everyone at the table.

How will character creation work

Player characters will start at level 3, will be created through Foundry VTT, and will be created during a group session 0. While the characters don't have to be perfect individuals by any means, I encourage players to avoid the evil spectrum of alignment, as evil characters wouldn't be a good fit for the tone of this campaign.
