Heya, We're a group of four players (with a fifth seeking to spectate and get a sense of if TTRPGing appeals to him) looking for a DM for a Pathfinder 2e campaign. Some of us have more experience than others, but we're generally quite new to this system specifically and would welcome a fun and patient DM to help show people the ropes and collectively have a fun time each week. I'll post the key points we're looking for below. Sorry if this seems like a lot of details, but I'm hoping to ensure the best fit (and the most fun) for everyone involved. LGBTQ+ friendly. Ideal party size of around four, with a maximum of six. We are generally in the vicinity of GMT to GMT+2. Most likely time slot that works on our end would be Monday or Sunday evenings. Preference for not rolling our character stats. Though PF2e does seem to focus on building from a baseline of 10s, this is worth mentioning as several players do not enjoy the random element of making their stats match up to their concepts. Ideal setting would be a character-driven RP sandbox sort of adventure, with focus on PC and NPC storylines alongside a traditional narrative. While we aren't seeking a cake walk, frequent challenging combat and long dungeon crawls are not a high priority. We're good with theatre-of-the-mind for most situations in a game, though I have a personal preference for using maps/tokens/etc. when running combat encounters specifically. Maps don't have to be complicated or anything, just something to help avoid battles becoming confusing with regards to where everybody is in relation to one another. A story tone that leans towards the lighter, more uplifting side would be preferable. An ideal DM would have a solid grasp of the rules without feeling overly beholden to them, alongside an open-minded flexibility with regards to character concepts. Several players in the group have expressed interest in perhaps testing the waters with a one-shot adventure that could maybe lead into a running campaign if everyone likes the vibe.
