Beginner Box & Abomination Vaults - Pathfinder 2E - A Game To Learn To Play And Jump Into A Megadungeon

About the adventure

If you are wanting to learn how to play Pathfinder 2E, and also take part in a long-term campaign, then you have found the game! When we first meet, in addition to safety tools, we will create our characters together, learn the game mechanics, and go over the basics of how to play before jumping into the beginner box! Resources will be given ahead of time, and we will go slow and smooth to slowly pick up pieces of how to play Pathfinder as the campaign goes along and gets more complex. Come join the Paladin's Archive's Community and meet new friends to share a unique one time experience playing our favorite game. "Enter the megadungeon! Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where the evil sorcerer Belcorra Haruvex attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. Brave heroes must venture into a dungeon full of beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful villain from rising again. The Abomination Vaults Adventure Path is a three-part, monthly series of connected adventures that comprise a complete Pathfinder campaign." This is a fully immersed setting where you can manipulate the environment to your capabilities. Although this is a module, I do not run modules in a way that constrains the creativity and imagination of those at the table. You'll be sure to get a prime experience as prime members of this adventuring party heading down into the depths of this megadungeon- will you fail or come out victorious? You will get custom art of your character made for you to play with, immersive game and ambient music, and lots of time freedom to do what you wish in this adventure. I'll also be available to answer any questions, and help where I can! This game uses discord, camera, mic, and Foundry.

Additional Details

How to prepare

All my games are with mic and video. We will use Discord for all communication and meeting for our games. A Campaign link will be given to create your character. If you have not made a character before, we can meet and I will lead you through the process of making a character. Please bring paper and something to write with for taking notes. Optional: have a folder to hold any handouts you wish to print and keep that I give.

What I provide

The majority of information you will need will be given out prior to meeting our first session to include a whole player packet with information about etiquette, how to connect to foundry, character creation, safety tools, and most questions a player will have about the table and game.

Gameplay details

Before we meet, a handout with all the information regarding safety tools and how to use them will be given out along with an RPG consent list to return to me before our first session. When we meet for the first time, we will have our session 0 to go over the safety tools and share an amalgamated copy of the RPG consent list. We will go over X, N, and O cards to be used in our VTT, everyone will fill out and send me a copy of the TTRPG consent list and we will amalgamize and put a final form on our player dashboard, we will also set expectations of the game to include affirmation of it being okay to take a break and empowering players to speak up about anything that may be uncomfortable. We will go over what a normal session will look like to include the after session safety period of debriefing and talking about anything either 1:1 or as a group. During the Session: We will take a 10 minute break at the hour and a half mark. If any N cards are played, we will stop and resolve how to continue the current situation before going forward again. After the Session: We will debrief how everyone feels about the session and take time to address any concerns either as a group as a whole or 1:1.
