Additional Details

How to prepare

Players should read up on the Pathfinder 2e rules, prepare a quality microphone, and contact me if they need assistance on creating characters. They will also need a Discord account.

What I provide

I will bring the Foundry virtual tabletop, an adaptation of the War for the Crown adventure path for Pathfinder 2e, music bots, and hundreds of hours of RPG experience.

Gameplay details

CW: Players can expect a story focused on some serious and modern-day relevant themes such as discrimination, systemic oppression, political turmoil and warfare. The country of Taldor has an intense hierarchical focus on male human elites, resulting in prejudice against characters on gendered and racial lines. While the story is not focused exclusively on tackling such subjects, they are expected to come up - part of the reason the characters are encouraged to adventure in the first place is to help change Taldor for the better. Content limits and expectations will be actively discussed throughout the campaign and worked into the virtual tabletop as well. This is a campaign focused first and foremost on immersing the players in a complicated political drama featuring multiple factions, conspiracies, and murky moral considerations. The player characters are given assignments from their chosen patron and expected to go on missions on their patron's behalf, but in general, they will have a great deal of flexibility in how those missions are being conducted. You will not be claiming power for yourself. Instead, you will be one of the invisible hands steering the civil war from the shadows. The PCs are super spies that will be matching wits against other scoundrels. Roleplay and a taste for intrigue are highly encouraged for players in the campaign. Combat will be included in the story, but it is by no means the only solution for dealing with any particular situation.

How will character creation work

Characters will be created before the first session, using a little info packet I'll send along. All Pathfinder ancestries and classes are allowed, with some exceptions I'll list in the player's guide.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
