Greetings adventurers! We are a group of four players soon beginning a run through of a Pathfinder 2E converted run of the Paizo AP Carrion Crown . We are seeking one or two new players to round out our group for our next adventure- will you answer the call? As a group, we tend towards rich narrative and very slow, granular pacing for our games, with a heavy focus on intraparty roleplaying and character development. Our last campaign was a run through of the Hell's Rebels AP in PF1e, which lasted around 5 1/2 years all told, playing generally weekly (I wasn't kidding about a slow pace). I'm Adam (he/him) and will be GMing the campaign. I am 40, and I've been running Pathfinder games since the first edition was launched (2009?) and ran 4e and 3e D&D before that. I am a professional improviser, which definitely comes in handy running games. This will be my first time running Pathfinder 2e, but we have a very experienced player at the table to help with mechanics and rules. As a GM, I think my style tends more towards relaxed rules and I am always a fan of "rule of cool." I would much rather spend energy and time enriching the narrative than getting bogged down in RAW rulings! I strive towards creating personal and meaningful connections with my player's characters, adding seeds and links to their backstories and ever developing character histories. While I use the APs as a structural guideline, I do tend to edit heavily and eventually the bones of the structure are there, but our adventure is truly a unique story that my players and I create with an extremely collaborative playstyle. We are looking for people with a love of storytelling, who are willing to invest in themselves and their fellow players around the table, and who are ready to roleplay heavily throughout the campaign. Knowledge of PF 2e mechanics is useful, but mastery is certainly not required- we are all pretty much on a level playing field- please expect some learning curve (especially from me!). We expect to be playing this game for quite some time, so a commitment to a long running story is important. We are using Discord for voice during the games (and text to keep up with each other and share dumb memes through the week!) At our table, respect is rule number one! We are a heavily LGBTQ+ group, and expect an attitude of inclusivity, patience and understanding both at the table and away from it. Again, and I cannot stress this enough, our play style is zoomed in quite a lot- I will expect there to be sessions without combat, and even sessions where I am a GM will not say much at all, so invested are the characters in roleplaying amongst themselves. We will be playing weekly on Tuesday evenings. About the Campaign Carrion Crown is an adventure path about fighting back the darkness in a country where the darkness has been thriving for a long time. Ustalov is a country with a scarred past, a history of evil and decay permeating it. Tonally, the story will lean heavily on dark fantasy and folk fantasy themes and tropes- expect monsters, creeping dread, and complications at every turn. The player characters come together to attend the funeral of an old mentor, and get swept up into a tale with far reaching consequences, not only for themselves, but for the world at large. Character themes of interest would be hope, fighting the darkness both internal and external, overcoming the odds, and heroic themes that will mesh well with the dark nature of the campaign. While the table tone will be grim fantasy, we ourselves as people are anything but grim, so I would still expect many moments of levity and humor even in this campaign. We are starting as level one characters, and I will work with players to make sure they will fit into a long term campaign. What do we need from you? Name/Nicknames Age Pronouns Do you use Discord? (no need for your tag until we have spoken via message) Tabletop experience (systems and length of time) What are you looking for in a successful gaming session/campaign/table? How would you define your personal playstyle? What do you enjoy most about it? What is your favorite character you have played in the past? Why are they so memorable to you? What is a question (or questions) you would ask me or the table in general? Thank you for your interest!! Cheers!
