PF2E HOMEBREW WORLD looking for players [2-4] Paid Sessions [Online-Discord and Tabletop Simulator]

Good afternoon all, I am ZazimShaman or just Zazim. For the past seven years or so, I have been building and fleshing out a world for use in Tabletop Role-playing games, and I have enjoyed PF2E as the primary system for my world for easily the last 2 years, during which time I have been a player and a Game Master in this world. I am looking to get another game up and running, set in my world of Ishvalara, the time slots I am looking to fill are between the hours of 1030am eastern time until 230pm eastern time. I am hoping to play on any day Monday-Wednesday during these hours.

Let me give a little information about Ishvalara and some things that set it apart from more normal fantasy settings:

Undead and Undeath In Ishvalara: the undead and necromancers are not feared as they are in other places. Here, Necromancy is a foundational force by which the realms are protected from the encroachment from beyond by enigmatic forces called the Xenarchs. The history of where undeath comes from is largely a subject for speculation but there are a few known factors which are well agreed upon by all those who make it their tasks to understand such knowledge and history. Among a few of the things well known about necromancy’s history in Ishvalara is that it is a gift from the Devourers (a group of Ur Gods who are responsible for all of dragonkind across the Realms). All dragons in all the realms have at least a little bit of necromancy flowing throughout their veins. The Devourers, who are also said to have collaborated with the other Ur-Gods in the birth of many of the known pantheons of Ishvalara, are thought to also have been instrumental (especially the 13th Ur God) in making certain each group of familial deities had at least one of these gods who was devoted in some way to preservation and knowledge of necromantic practices. With this knowledge in hand, many have made the leap of logic that Undeath and Necromancy are gifts to the realms from Za-Zym and the Devourers as yet one more way to protect the Boundary between Creation and the Unknown from Beyond Creation.

The Xenarchs and Aberrations: When the foundational forces of all of creation formed that which we consider.to be "within the boundaries of creation" such as all of the realms and the mortal planes; they inadvertently created a paradoxical existence of "That which Comes from Outside of Creation." These aberrant forces, called Xenarchs, exist outside of time and space, but cannot enter within the boundaries of creation without first being summoned or brought into creation. These forces warp and twist all manner of things save for Dragons who's blood from the Devourers actually hungers for the tainted and twisted flesh of Xenarch aberrations, and the undead, who's necromantic flow of energy prevents the taint of the Xenarchs from manifesting. For these reasons, Dragons and the undead are tasked with guarding and protecting Ishvalara from not only mundane threats, but also from the threat of Xenarch Cults that rise up from malign influences seeping through the realms as the Xenarchs seek out weak minds to possess or convert with twisted dreams and visions.

These are just two of the things which are integral to Ishvalara, but by no means are the only things that are causing struggles and strife across the world and the realms beyond.

As I said above, the time slots I am seeking to fill are to set up a game on a weekly basis, on any day between Monday and Wednesday, between 1030am until 230pm.

This is my availability to run the game and I would love to have between 2 and 4 players to commit to playing with me. There is already one player at the table waiting for the rest of their party, and I am comfortable running up to 5 people at a time. So there are currently 4 available slots for this game. Again, this is a paid game. Or a premium game, but just because that isn't feasible for you at this moment, that doesn't mean that I don't want you to ask me questions or seek out a spot at my table.

If you have any questions, or if there is any interest in this setting or in playing a PF2E game with some interesting and custom homebrew, then please feel free to reach out and we can discuss. Thank you for reading and any interest or responses and may the dice gods bless your rolls in your games with great storytelling!

Tl;Dr - forever GM seeks party to play in a custom world, space at table is locked behind a pay wall but the community he's trying to build isn't.

[PF2e][Online][Free][FoundryVTT][Discord][18+] Ladies group looking to fill 1-2 seats Searching for Players

Discord: roseflorencewebb

System: Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster (PF2e) on FoundryVTT

Time: sessions on Saturdays 19:00 GMT

Hi im Rose, 35, in the UK. An experianced GM in TTRPGs (15+years) but very new to PF2e specifically (1.75 years). I run home games for newbies, ladies, and more rarely kids, this is an adults group however. My games are free to play, and i use tools that are free to use. So there is no cost for joining my games past having a decent PC which at this point in the community is basically a requirement. This is a 18+ only, ladies group using Discord and FoundryVTT, were looking for up to 2 players to join our already esblished group of 4 players. Most players are new or relatively new to the hobby, so inexperienced players are more preferred but this is not a hardline and experienced players are very welcome. PF2e is a very beginner friendly rules crunchy game and Foundry does a great job of making the system easy to learn, so dont be too scared to reach out. We start to meet up at 19:00 my time, games start within the hour, giving time to late comers and allowing everyone to chat and have a catch up. I then try to end games by midnight my time, but we do sometimes have overrun, so keep that in mind. I dont run first come first served games, we want to invite people who we feel would be good for the group and who the group would be good for, so a conversation to get to know you is a requirement, i understand that can be intimidating, but try not to worry, im very approachable and i only have good folk at my tables. So, thats basically everything, if you want to reach out to me doing so here is likely not going to get a response, sorry, I really dont use reddit but i can be easily reached on discord, so please do use that when contacting me. For the benefit of you might wish to leave a reply here just stating youve reached out on discord. I dont know if the server or mods tracks these things or not. Thanks all, happy gaming.

The Dead Get Ahead! [Online] [PF2e] [PAID] [$20 A session] [Foundry VTT] [Weekly] [0/5] [Friday] [7:30PM PST] [LGBTQ friendly]

Welcome to Geb, where the dead walk, talk, and occasionally ask you to pass the salt. You, on the other hand, are firmly planted at the bottom of the social pyramid—and down here, it's very hard to tell whether you're stepping on corpses or your fellow peasants. In this "ghoul-eat-man" world, you've somehow managed to cling to the shreds of your miserable existence, but that could change!

You’ve arrived in the charming hinterland town of Graydirge. Here, one of the lesser Blood Lords (read: not important enough to disintegrate you with a wave), Berline the Reanimator, has a tantalizing offer: complete her little errand, and she’ll reward you with a manor of your very own.

But don’t let your ambitions get too high—this is Geb after all. One misstep, and you might find yourself working as a mindless servant for eternity. In fact, the Blood Lords are always hiring, and “job security” here means they’ll keep your body around long after you’ve stopped complaining.

This 1–20 adventure path throws you headfirst into the tangled political web of the Blood Lords, a group that thinks backstabbing is a team-building exercise. You’ll traverse the gloomy, desolate expanse of Geb. Can you rise through the ranks, outwit your undead overlords, and finally claim that estate (preferably without becoming its next resident ghost)?

In Geb, getting ahead means keeping yours attached.

Hey, I'm yousodumb or chris. I've been running games for over 7 years, and I'd be glad to run you through this popular adventure path. I currently run three separate games that have been ongoing for several years.

Next session TBD. For further details, check out this listing!

[online FVTT][PF2e][Season of Ghosts][LGBTQ+][Mondays 5-8pm PST]

Edit: Full for now, thank you!

Hello! I'm looking to run the PF2e season of ghosts AP for 4-5 people, probably starting on 12/9. We'll shoot to run 3 times a month.

https://downloads.paizo.com/SeasonofGhosts_PlayersGuide.pdf Story primer: please avoid other sources since it's a campaign thats easily spoilered.

Player expectations:

-Discord and a mic, computer for the VTT. No experience with foundry needed, it's pretty easy.

-Try and be available for the timeslot. Life happens and everyone misses sessions but if you're not able to make it on a regular basis, consider a shorter campaign or one-shot adventures

-Some familiarity with how to play. I like having a mix of both newer and more seasoned players, but if its your first game please at least have read up on the basics.

-Enjoy RP based adventures. This isn't a dungeon crawl and combat is supposedly a bit sparser than in some modules.

-Avoid metagaming. I had a player who I found out was reading stat blocks and a chapter ahead in the AP and it killed a lot of my other player's fun.

-Free game! But every 4-5 months I'll need to buy the next book software module from foundry, so when that time comes I would really appreciate it if people could pitch in so I'm not covering it all by myself.

-Be chill and try and get along with other players. On that note, the space is a left-leaning LGBTQIA+ server; so players with right-wing social values aren't going to fit in super well. Sorry! It's not personal, it's just a social space for queer people and straight/cis allies.

-Age 21+

About me:

Mid-30s he/they furry trash. I love video games, mini painting, anime, and other nerdstuff. I've run three 5e games to completion (ghosts of saltmarsh, descent into avernus, candlekeep) but I'm newish to pf2e. I ran about half of abomination vaults and love the system, but I'm still learning the ropes.

Interested? DM me this:

-Level of experience with PF2e/tabletop in general.

-Age

-Preferred pronouns

-Are you ok with more RP-heavy story paths?

-Any class you've been itching to play? Undecided is fine and you can always change your mind, but this helps so I don't pick 4 people who all want to be champions or whatever!

I'll get back to you within a few days

[PF2e] [Online] [Est] [LGBTQ+]

Hello there, I hope you're doing well. I am looking for a pathfinder game to meet new people and try out a different class or two. I have been playing for a few weeks by this point and I think I have a decent grasp on the rules. I do want to try a campaign that has a main base that the players come back to from time to time to both improve it and protect it. Just getting that whole home defense kind of vibe. Besides that, I am down for most world. Just, no bugs or horror games.

As for who I am, I am Luna. A pretty chill and nerdy girl who is happy to meet others. This game is slowly becoming my hyperfixation so please teach me more about it. I do enjoy playing more bubbly and soft characters, with a love for playing healers or support.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

[Online][PF1e][PF2e][GMT+2] - Two passionate players looking for our forever-group!

Hey there! For ease of reading I'll structure the post in a couple of segments so you can get an idea of who we are, what we're looking for, and what we're not looking for! We'd both be more than happy to have a chat on Discord if there are any additional questions too, so don't be afraid to shoot me (Loke) a message there - username and a simple summary of looking for / not looking for at the bottom!

First and foremostus:

We haven't known each-other for very long, and we haven't played together before, but we enjoy and are looking for the same things - and have gotten along very well, so we've decided to look for a game together!

Loke: That's my name! (yes, actually) - and I'm a 27 year old guy from Norway. I've been an avid played for about 12 years now, during which it's really become my primary hobby and - at risk of sounding a little cheesy - greatest passion. I'm currently studying (again, new subject woo!) LIS (Library and Information Science) and enjoying it thoroughly. I'd like to say I'm a pretty chill and easy-going person, but I'm also not the kind of person who wants to waste time or leave things unsaid, meaning I'm vocal but hopefully not mean about preferences and issues that may arise - though the point is always to try and be constructive!
Over the years I've played a number of systems and settings such as the Pathfinders and D&Ds, settings from Grim Hollow to Golarion and numerous homebrews. In the end, I've turned into an avid DM - and that's what I do for the most part. I'm currently the third of a planned 5-campaign overarching story with the same group, and the third "side"-campaign using the same "canon" and timeline. In other words, I've completed several campaigns as a DM, the dedication's there!
However, I've not been so fortunate as a player. Whether there were scheduling issues or otherwise, things have tended to fall apart at some point. I recently left a campaign due to it just not being fun for a long while, though that's something we could get back to if you like. As a result though, I've ended up with several characters complete with commissioned art and all whose stories were left incomplete. I'm really yearning to find the right party and experience adventures to completion, become proper friends with, and hopefully do other activities together! As much as I'd love to adapt and port over one of the old characters, I'm more than willing to create an entirely new one if that's your preference!

Melty: That's my name! I'm 28F. I have a passion for stories and adventure, and have discovered in my time on other campaigns that I have a heavy preference for RP over combat. Combat alone made decisions and interactions feel a little hollow for me personally, and I'm looking for something with other players that show their understanding of the impact of their decisions, interest in the world, and the other players they're with. So ideally a split of 60-70% RP and 30-40% combat. If your campaign has Elden Ring or Dark Souls-like inspirations, that's a big bonus!
I'm an adaptive and overall calm person, can be shy at first but open up just nicely around a group of welcoming people. I also love drawing and making art of player characters and scenes that stick with me! I'm hoping to find friends who wouldn't mind spending time out of sessions doing activities together, playing video games, chilling in voice char or whatever it is. I also have 10 years worth of experience in text based roleplay and homebrew ttrpg. So I can say I have experience in creating background stories and working in cooperative settings with other players!
D&D day for me is my happy day and I want to enjoy it around good people, I believe that a great group should feel like close to a second family so if you're looking for a reliable and committed player who values long-term friendships with a good time both in and out of the game, I'd love to join you!

What we're looking for:
The most important thing to us from the DM-side as a player is a story. We want a story to engage with, to explore options and potential paths towards a goal whether it be to save the world or something entirely different. We're pretty open-minded in terms of what that story is (We do have a preference for being the "good guys"), but it's definitely important to us that there is a strong main-plot. In turn, we've learned just how important it is to us that such a main-plot be paced right - what we mean being that if there's a sense of urgency, we need to be able to progress at a decent pace, while we can go off on side-quests or personal quests when we're not feeling like we're short on time to say, save the world.
We love having vivid NPCs in a game, people and places we get to know and grow attached to. Voices and accents are a plus, but not a requirement at all - though narration and the like really set the mood and vibe, so that's more important. Most important however is a sense of engagement and enthusiasm coming from the DM; if you sound like you're bored, we likely won't be able to get as invested either - we want you to have as much fun running the game as we do playing.

Finally, it's a big bonus to if you've already completed campaigns before - it's a good sign, simply put?

When it comes to the party, we'll be frank - we're not looking for a group of loners, edgelords, or the like. we would really love a party who grow to become friends or potentially more! We're not a huge fan of inter-party discourse or arguments in roleplay, though it's completely fine in reasonable moderation - people disagree, after all. We kind of like the idea of the "found family" trope! In short, while the story could be dark and dire, we'd love for a somewhat wholesome party. We want to get to know their characters, their joys and woes, engage in their stories etc. To wrap this part up, we're really looking for a group of people we too will become friends with beyond just the sessions!

So with that said, here's a little list of the times, systems and such that work for us:

Systems: Loke has a strong preference for Pathfinder 1e, but would be okay with 2e or D&D 5e in either variant - though in that case it would be a bonus for some well-considered 3rd party to be a possibility. Melty has played some 5e, mainly with the old ruleset - but is open to learning Pathfinder (which Loke would teach thoroughly in addition to the DM, potentially)
Types: Story-based campaign set in an established setting - Would absolutely love to play a module / published campaign.
Settings: We're up for trying most established fantasy settings, but we both have preference for the Forgotten Realms, while Loke does like Grim Hollow, and to a lesser extent Golarion - with a desire to try Dragonlance and Eberron - and Melty doesn't have as much of a preference aside from FR! Classic fantasy in slight variations, in other words! Loke is also vaguely familiar with MTG, Cyberpunk, Shadow of the Demon Lord, and to a larger extent FFXIV (yeah, I (Loke) would definitely go for an XIV ttrpg).
Time: Loke is currently running bi-weekly Sunday evening games + weekly Tuesday games as a DM, so that's off the table. Melty has a game Thursday evenings. Any other day works, though it'd be great (but not required) if it's not Friday/Saturday. We'd prefer to end by 23:00-23:30 GMT+2 on weekdays, with a preference for 4-5 hour sessions. We're both typically home by 15-16 during the day. We also have a strong preference for weekly games, bi-weekly at worst.
Platforms: As most, we'd prefer using Discord for voice. To accompany that, a VTT such as Roll20 or (preferably) Foundry. We love battlemaps and music! Neither of us are really up for using webcams, sorry!
Social: It'd have to be English in terms of language. It's also a requirement that the group be LGBTQIA+ friendly, on the simple basis that if it's specifically not then...what? We're not interested in playing with racist, homophonic, or transphobic etc. people - as should be the standard.

Now, for the other part just so we're clear. The following are non-negotiable.
We are NOT looking for:
"Sandbox" campaigns
Homebrew worlds
PAID games
Text-based games
Fully theater-of-mind
NOT using a Virtual TableTop (roll20, Foundry etc.)
Excessively bleak Grimdark
Evil campaigns
Non-English speaking groups
Less often than bi-weekly sessions
1-3 hour sessions
Weekly Sunday or ANY Tuesday
More players to look with (it makes it a lot harder in a practical sense, I'm sorry!)
Loke has already run as DM: Curse of Stradh, Dragon Heist, Descent Into Avernus, Lost Mines of Phandelver

-

Aaaalright then, we know that's a long read - but we hope it gives a comprehensive idea of what we're looking for and who I am at a glance. we'd be more than happy to tell you about campaigns we've been, and characters we've created in the past - but that's an even more lengthy kind of thing! As such, if you feel like we'd be a good fit for your - and you offer what we're looking for, don't be afraid to add Loke on Discord for a chat! "In truth, I'm far more likely to see messages there!" We look forward to hearing from you!

Providence Foretold [Online] [PF2e] [PAID] [$15 A session] [Foundry VTT] [Weekly] [2/5] [Saturday] [7:30PM PST] [LGBTQ friendly]

The Harrow deck—little more than a tool for charlatans and carnival mystics, or so you’ve always believed. Its cards have foretold fortunes, whispered warnings, and beguiled the gullible. But everything changes when a single enigmatic card falls into your possession, tethered to your fate as surely as the stars to the heavens. This card is no mere trinket—it hums with ancient power, a fragment of a deck spoken of in hushed legends: the Deck of Destiny.

In this high-level Pathfinder campaign, you will embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind this fabled artifact. Said to not only reveal the future but forge it, the Deck of Destiny is a weapon, a tool, and a curse all in one. Its creators, the Harrow Three, have vanished into the annals of myth. What were their designs? What forces led them to create an object of such profound power? And why does your destiny now seem intertwined with theirs?

The path ahead is fraught with peril and wonder. Will you piece together the story of the Harrow Three and uncover the deck’s ultimate purpose? Or will the strings of fate twist against you, pulling you into shadow and despair?

The cards are drawn. The game begins. Will you be the master of destiny—or its pawn?The Harrow deck—little more than a tool for charlatans and carnival mystics, or so you’ve always believed.

[PF2e][online][North America][UNPAID] LF DM for group new to Pathfinder

DM RECEIVES
Our rapt attention for a few hours each week or two, at DM’s time of preference
People who are eager to play and will show up on time with pre built group rapport
The occasional creative art/writing piece of questionable and variable quality
A group that understands the DM’s fun is as important as theirs
Cute pictures of our pets (optional)

PARTY RECEIVES
Someone with a basic knowledge of Pathfinder 2e willing to DM for a bunch of D&D 5e players
Cute pictures of DM’s pets (optional)

Memes aside, we’re a group of online pals looking for someone to show us the ropes for Pathfinder 2e. Many of us have already played 5e together and are used to playing with each other to some capacity.

The group itself is a mix of three to five people (depending on timeframe) who enjoy storytelling and character progression. Our game mechanics may be weak initially, but we’re driven to learn primarily on our own time with only nudges in the correct direction from the DM being the end goal. Ages range from mid twenties to early thirties, but are open to those of other demographics. Genders mixed as well.

Open to one-shots, official and original settings! Ideally we’d want to start with something smaller and bite-sized to get to know each other to see if things are a good fit.

We have experience in roll 20, but are also interested in potentially learning other online VTT software at DM's preference.

Thank you for your time! Please contact me here or through Reddit DMs. Further discussions to be had in Discord if things sound promising.

PF2e Season of Ghosts AP (Paid), In Need of Players [Online]

I recently joined a paid SoG campaign with a GM that I had run me through Blood Lords. I'm running it myself but I talked with him to see if he'd be open to letting me join despite that which he was fine with. Despite this, we've had some issues with getting players for it so I decided to help a bit to see if there was any interest that I could drum up too. So here is the basic info:

Day/Time: Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. EST, weekly Price/Session: 20$ Players: 2(3?)/5 slots atm (one player may be a bit on the fence due to irl happening but we're seeing what he says before making any assumptions as to his status with the game.), aiming for 4 to start. Variant Rules: FA only at this time

If you're interested and feel you'd be able to hold to that schedule for the time needed to get through this, or if you want any additional information not provided here, please feel free to contact me via DM and I'll send you the info you need.

Best Regards.

One of my players is moving out of state so we are looking for 1 to 3 (getting us up to 4 to 6) players to join our on going homebrew campaign. We play on Saturday's from 2pm to 5:30-6pm usually. Currently the game has been urban focused in the largest dwarven city in my homebrew world where a gang war is breaking out, though the party is getting ready to head on quest to the jungle.

Absalom: The War of Strings - a [PAID - $30][ONLINE] political intrigue city sandbox campaign for pf2e. [Wednesdays at 6pm EST] One seat open - Session 0 next week! Hosted on Foundry VTT. LGBTQIA+ Welcome! Beginners Welcome!

https://preview.redd.it/njmsxetzdw1e1.jpg?width=1120&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b90360e115dca16a1b29fa5be9213b0cf24be6ac

In a period of rapid change unlike any the city of Absalom has ever seen, history is primed to be written anew. Slavery has been abolished, the primarch has gone missing; and amidst the turmoil, each of the city's many factions has set their sights on political opportunity.

The War of Strings is a campaign custom-tailored to your character, taking big cues from the Agents of Edgewatch adventure path and the Absalom: City of Lost Omens setting guide. The campaign is a true sandbox, meaning the party will be free to follow their interests within the robust narrative threads of the setting. Invariably though, those interests will come into conflict with the important people and events at play in the city. Expect political and social intrigue, but the particulars beyond that will be defined by what kinds of characters your group creates, and what their personal goals are. This campaign will exist in reaction to your group identity. Warning: this is not the campaign for passive players.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time crafting this Paizo-style Player's Guide to help get the gears turning; check it out here if you'd like to learn more! (Other GMs looking to run the Absalom setting, feel free to steal this! I'll send you the PSD files if you'd like to tailor your own version)
Absalom: the War of Strings Player's Guide

With 4 of 5 seats filled already, this group is shaping up to be one heavily engaged with both mechanical systems and roleplay exploration. I have run multiple games for each of the players currently signed-on and can vouch for their excellent dynamics in group settings. The character ideas are still percolating, but it's looking like the party is going to have significant ties to the world of Absalom's nobility. Head to the SPG game page to learn more and snag that last seat!
War of Strings Listing on SPG

While there certainly will be combat and dungeon crawling, this campaign will have a strong roleplay-focus and the tensest moments of the story will likely be during conversation with important characters. As GM I put a great deal of care into three-dimensional character portrayal to facilitate this style of play. Check out my GM profile on SPG to learn more.

Please feel free to post any questions you may have here in the replies! I'm super excited about this campaign and have been preparing for it for quite a long time. Expect some nice bells and whistles in foundry.

Rules Variants in play:
Free Archetype
Gradual Attribute Boosts
Automatic Rune Progression
Some other fun custom alterations :)

[PF2E or 1E] [Online] [GMT] [Saturdays] Group of 5 - 6 players who recently lost their DM before Session 0 looking for GM to run. Must be newbie friendly, LGBT+ friendly, GMT 10:00 - 13:00.

Hi there!

So recently, a group of us tried to get into Pathfinder. We were all set with a Session 0 date and character concepts. Then the DM disappeared and dipped, leaving us in the lurch.

We're still wanting to play, and sheets were not built, so we can adjust to most settings and stories. We just want to play! We would like a lighter tone - no grim dark or gritty - and it must be 18+ friendly with a DM comfortable with some adult jokes and banter. Nothing crossing any lines, we can just get a little risque sometimes!

We would ideally have a fairly even split between roleplay and combat, so dungeon crawls like The Abomunation Vaults are unlikely to be a hit.

Three of us have SOME 2e experience up to level 3, and a couple of us have some mid level 1e experience. The rest of us have no experience at all with pathfinder.

Games would be every second Saturday from 10 - 13 GMT. If you think you can handle some LGBT, somewhat flirty newbies, please let me know! 1e or 2e is fine, we just wanna play...though 2e would admittedly be easier to teach xD

I hope to hear from some peeps soon, we're eager to get started!

EDIT: Apologies, should have specified. We're looking for a free DM; we're not in a position to be able to pay for one. ^_^"

[Online][PF2e][GMT][Day of Week TBD][New Player Friendly] Looking for 4 intrepid heroes to venture into the Abomination Vaults with.

When the mysterious Gauntlight, an eerie landlocked lighthouse, glows with baleful light, the people of Otari know something terrible is beginning. The town’s newest heroes must venture into the ruins around the lighthouse and delve the dungeon’s far beneath it to discover the evil Gauntlight heralds. Hideous monsters, deadly traps, and mysterious ghosts all await the heroes who dare to enter the sprawling dungeon known as…

The Abomination Vaults!

Hi all, I’m looking for 4 players to play the Abomination Vaults adventure path with. 

About me: 

Hi, I’m Jim (27-year-old, he/him), living in the UK (GMT). I have been playing various TTRPGs for >4 years now and have GMed other systems for about 3 years. I am relatively new to running pathfinder 2e, so beginner players are welcome as it will be a joint learning experience, but more experienced players who are willing to deal with some beginner stumbles on my end are welcome too. 

Details about the game: 

  • Date and Time: I’m in GMT and am looking to run once a week in the evenings (~7pm for a 3-4 hour sessions), or possibly earlier in the day on a Saturday or Sunday. Specifics to be worked out with the group based on your preferred days in the google form. 
  • Platform: Foundry for VTT (runs in a browser) and discord for voice. 

Details about the adventure path: 

  • Dungeon delving focused, so expect a bias towards combat and exploration. 
  • Plenty of roleplay opportunities to be had, but not expected to dominate sessions. 
  • The adventure has some notoriety for being a bit tough, so be aware that player character death is a very real possibility. 

Thank you for reading my spiel, if you are interested in joining the campaign please fill out the Google form linked below and I’ll get back to you in a day or two, and feel free to DM me if you have any questions you want answered. I have also included a link to the Abomination Vaults player’s guide for your perusal.

Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdop1cYoLwq12SZB5jtHgd_mCMRlwkSueyiEPhw1sJIU5_x4g/viewform?usp=sf_link

Player’s Guide: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://downloads.paizo.com/AbominationVaults_PlayersGuide.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjS4qvrs-eJAxXSQUEAHe7fDJsQFnoECBUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0rx5MqmzUHNUeXuC_HTC4F

EDIT: for those who have submitted a from keep an eye out for a discord friend request from criminal401, that is my discord handle and i'll likely be messaging to respond to questions and put the group together.

EDIT 2: the form is now closed thanks for those who gave responses. 34 (wow) responses so ive got allot of timetable, deciding and dice rolling to do.

[PF2e] [Roll20] [Sundays, 3-7pm GMT] [online] Beginner Box: Menace Under Otari. New-to-Pathfinder GM, beginner friendly!

GAME FULL

I'm a new Pathfinder 2e GM (experienced with D&D 5e, moderately so with a few other systems) and will be running the starting adventure "Menace Under Otari" beginning this Sunday! Sessions will last 3-4 hours and take place at the same time weekly, barring unforseen circumstance. I suspect it will take three sessions but could go into a fourth - please let me know if you can't make one of them. Let's keep things relaxed and friendly - this will be a learning experience for me too, and I'm sure there will be rules mistakes all round. It's a pretty standard dungeon crawl: combat > exploration > social/roleplay (though I'll try to prompt a little bit of RP). We'll be using the accompanying pregens.

Currently have two players, both likewise new to Pathfinder, looking for two more. New players welcome, as are those with some experience - old PF2e hands may find it a little basic as it's intended partly as a tutorial. If you can't commit to playing weekly but would be interested in dropping in for a session when another player can't make it, let me know. Current players are a man and a woman (I'm male), I'd slightly prefer to have at least one more woman in the group to keep things balanced. Obviously LGBT, PoC etc friendly!

We'll be playing on Roll20 (with which I'm likewise relatively inexperienced) and using Discord for voice and video (please have and be willing to use a webcam, I feel it keeps things closer to a "friends round the table" atmosphere. It's not compulsory, but you may have more fun if you get a chance to play the accompanying solo adventure (which I can send you), skim the rules or watch a YouTube video or two. I'm happy to explain how things work (and the adventure is also intended to do so), but I won't start by reading out the rules classroom-style.

I'll leave this up until tomorrow morning, then reply to the players I think will be the best fit. If you're interested, please let me know a little about yourself, your experience with Pathfinder 2e and other RPGs, anything you particularly enjoy in RPGs or in general... Doesn't have to be long, two or three lines is fine. Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from you!

[LFG][ENG][PF2E][PF1E][Online][LGBTQ+][Europe & UK] Two experienced TTRPG players looking for a long-running and inclusive campaign!

Basically just as it says on the tin! ^-^

 

Me and my girlfriend (Tomo) are looking for an inclusive and long-running campaign / group that will take us on! We are only looking at sessions within Europe or the UK for the sake of time zones working out. Preferably campaigns that hold sessions around the weekend would be the best overall, or ones running into the evening.

 

As a bit of info about us: I (Grimm) am based in the UK and Tomo is based in Finland. We both have disabilities and can't currently work due to that, so we don't generally currently have any work conflicts in our personal lives. We were part of a DnD 5e campaign very recently but were kicked from it on short notice due to no fault of anyone, so that shouldn't conflict. 

 

We are ok joining pre-existing groups or new groups, and would prefer the group setting to be on the more casual side and for the game to be something with quite a good portion of roleplay involved and ability to really get hands on with. Definitely needs to be disability (including learning disability) inclusive as well. Not really also interested in groups where the majority are not LGBTQ+ or women at the moment due to comfort levels.

 

...And that's about it really!

 

Best wishes everyone!

 

- Grimm (Emrys) and Tomo

[Online][PF2e][Saturday 3PM GMT/UTC] Brand new player looking to jump to new system

Hello! I since I keep hearing about Pathfinder 2e and that it's generally a better system, I've wanted to give it a shot. From the video tutorials I've seen, it does seem like it's something I'll enjoy, even with it's customization alone. I'll let you know more about me bellow:

Experience

DnD 5e: Little over a year:

  • Few minor campaigns that didn't make it far
  • Few one shots from western games
  • Over a year long campaign (ongoing)

Pathfinder 2e: Literally zero. Been seeing videos, even saw a session online and played a bit on https://pathbuilder2e.com/ char creation but nothing to write home about

Type of Player(out of game)

  • Shows up on time, usually early in case anyone is in voice channel to talk a bit :D. I tend to cancel irl plans in favor of game night unless they are major events. My way of thinking is "First comes first served"
  • Helpful
    • Helped some of my group players pick spells and feats and what not since they weren't very knowledgeable about things
    • Made homebrew items on DnDBeyond (was a homebrew campaign) that I had zero chance of using. Just made them to help other players
    • Note taker with a document that I made public since session one and let them know they were free to add to it. I would make a compiled list of notes during game and de-compile it after session with current quests, lore, new NPCs, etc. This did lead me to often bugging the GM to ask for art to put it there xD He was a cool dude. DM would go to my document and add descriptions to locations since I couldn't keep up with everything in session. Side note here: One session on a particular part, our DM asked me to close my document as we were having a trivia game of our adventure so far. He told us that he used my document for a lot of the questions so ya know that shit was good~ :p
    • When one of our players needed a campaign link to be able to add things to their character sheet on DnDBeyond, I was usually the one to find these links and share them with others. I didn't own any of them, I just spent to long time hunting them down just to make their lifes easier
    • Often was the one sharing my screen so a player could watch the battle map, as she was playing through her phone. Ended up getting Vencord months later just to make the quality even better
  • Chatty on the discord group even after sessions. Did this mostly to get to know the other players
  • Learned basic photopea edits on the spot to make my own tokens and do minor alterations to art I found online to use for my char or my NPCs. I am FAR from proficient in it. The edits were minor things as changing hair color, eyes or clean up the image a bit or add body lines to the char since he turned into a foreclaimer mid campaign
  • Would often remind the DM of rules, though the way I let him known might vary based on the situation
    • Minor rule: Let him know through voice/chat
    • Intense scene/battle: Let him know through PM since I didn't know if he was purposely bending rules or conveniently forgetting them to help us out
  • Pestered the DM during char creation and insisted he looked at his background for a seal of approval. A bit odd, yes... But my second char (as I asked to kill the one I was playing to play a new one for reasons) I had to chase the DM a bit to have him look at his background since for w/e reason he didn't find the need to look through it and give seal of approval. So yeah... I did chase him a bit considering I was using NPCs in the story and was worried they might come of as "off character" in the backstory
  • Will have character cards for every custom NPC in my char backstory with info and fun facts about them. Here is an example of and npc in my current char backstory... Or that is what I would have said until I just realized I can't post images here??? If ya want, just PM me for a link and I'll share the char document. It has everything from why I wanted to switch chars, to concept to planning to background and NPC cards since it's a google doc I shared with my DM so he had the option to follow along through every step

Type of Player (In Game)

  • A bit of a min-maxer, I won't lie since I'm paranoid of having them die to soon
  • Ended up being the de-facto "leader" on my current group but I am perfectly fine letting some1 else take that role. I have tried to let the other players take it in one way or another 2 ;p
  • I like to say I'm decent to good on the combat part of things so no "taking 5 mins for my turn" on my end. Usually
  • Poor role-play though :/ sadly, in all my groups and this one included I was never blessed with the type of players that also engage with it, so I'm still a bit stiff here and am hoping that the group I find in the future will help me here
  • Kind of obsessed with keeping the chars backstory in mind while attempting role-playing. This can be good or bad depending on char (I'll throw an example later)

Favorite Type Of Character To Play

  • Gremlin types. Picture the chaotic little guys and ya not off the mark. I just love them~
  • Manipulators (though have zero experience as one)
  • Mentally scarred that utilizes sarcasm and deflection to get through the day. You can picture Catra from She-Ra as a perfect example
  • These are my favs but I have played others, like a generic good boy Fighter. He used to be a farmer among other things

Bad side of being obsessed with sticking to being in char

So... I have tried to play one char that was heavily inspired on Catra (shockers, ik) and I decided to give him a HUGE fear of water. I let the players know during introduction that he had it and should they throw him on water, he would immediately plot to kill them. People, I meant it. It's because of the severity that I let them know ahead of time. I also had a failsafe if it did happen but I never told them about it ;p

SECOND BAD SITUATION

Oh yeah, we have a bonus bad for the char above. His story was a bit of the usual trope of "capture while young, trained as a child soldier so spent a lot of time fighting" and ya know the rest. Didn't thought I would have issues here. Sure, can be a bit of a jerk at times but he'll be there in the end. That is... Until I started playing him and started thinking "So, what does my character value when looking at others? What metric does he use to judge them?" and quickly came to the conclusion that, because of his backstory, he would prefer capable people. Useful people.

Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but during char creation I was so focused on crafting a backstory to fit the personality that I didn't think about his metrics when it came to judging people. Expecially on our current group of players. We had a player that is, let us say... a bit of a scatter brain. He often did not do the most optimal thing, or even a remotely good thing or even know wtf was going on

My char noticed and he did started showing a bit more disdain for him but nothing major. and then this player's char ended up cursing the only NPC my char had grown a strong bond with accidentally, and all hell broke loose :´) What followed was my char often being aggressive or downright hostile to him and even out of game I had some people comment on it, including the DM. I did eventually try to PM the other player to work a way to fix their ways but yeah, no luck so far.

That is a story for a diff time but I tell it why? Because despite the comments out of game, I was not sugar coating how my char reacted to the other since, in my mind, there was no way he would forgive the other along with everything that built up to it. Still, I was playing him a bit softer considering the original image of him would 100% mean he would attack or try to kill the other PC but I didn't want that so I just kept making my char be hostile towards the other.

Eventually I did concede and started playing him "out of char" since the other player, despite me giving them a list of things my char likes and dislikes, the very next session, literally the first thing they did was do something I specifically had put near the top of the list as "do not do this" as my char saw that action with great disdain (he ditched the party after we got through a difficult fight, where we were tapped out on resources, and he flied away on his dragon, leaving us alone in a dangerous forest where we got encounters very often and the body of our dead friend, since a PC did die. Two chars, one carrying a body and the other a giant crystal that needed both hands, going through a very hostile forest -_-). Later in the session they did something while saying "it's so our chars get along!" when I specifically had told him that "If ya do this, he doesn't really value". So yep, at that point I had given up cuz of a lot of things and I was forced to "play out of char" for the sake of the group. Won't lie, I did tap out from here on

Any-who. Back to the important part of this post

What I'm Looking For

  • Newbie friendly. Despite looking up tutorials and seeing some sessions posted on youtube, there are still rules I haven't gotten a good grasp of. This includes class mechanics. I will ask questions, suggestions and if anyone uses https://pathbuilder2e.com/ I will ask about it to. BECAUSE I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO CAST A CANTRIP ON THE DAMN THING o.e
  • A good mix of role-play and combat
  • Preferably, weekly games on Saturdays. Sundays I have a diff game but when that campaign ends, I'm all in. I can go from 3PM GMT/UTC to 7:30PM GMT/UTC (Time can change because of timezone)
  • Preferably would like to play on Foundry since it automates a lot of things and have tried it before and liked it but open to other means. This is a preference, not a "must"
  • Already have some char concepts in mind for PF2e but could use a second opinion to flush the build out. Or I'll just use the build I found online. Either one works~
  • A table where people do role-play and char backstories come into play. Sadly, in little over a year of experience, I have not had this occur to me once or even other players in a significant amount -_- Though I'll prefer if I'm not the first one in the spotlight but small cameos are fine at the start. Let me see how others handle their time on the spotlight first

What I Do Not Want

  • Paid games
  • Groups of 7+ but can try it if the setting or something in the group peaks my interest. If it's a group full of theater kids type of players, for example, then yeah, I'm 100% down for it. No way I ain't taking advantage of all that role-play experience :D
  • Technology heavy campaigns. I like my swords and magic with little to no tech. Gunslingers still need their guns. So no cyberpunk-ish campaigns
  • Camera needs to be on. Just no ._. Let me be in peace on a robe and messy hair. Maybe in the future as I get more accustomed to a group and start bonding more I won't retract on this, but as of now I have zero inclinations to do it

And that is that. Again, I am open to send the link of my current char so you can see first hand the work I'm willing to put into them and on call I can even share the campaign document so you can also see that. Why on call? Well, it's an ongoing campaign so I left it open and second, I wanna show how I was organizing it but ya don't need to see the details of the story for it ;) Gotta respect the games privacy.

[PF2E][Online] Pair of newbies looking for free LGBT-friendly campaign!

<Availability>: UTC-3. Weekdays after 1PM and before midnight. We're not available after 7PM on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

<Description> : We're a pair of LGBT+ players looking for a long-term campaign with open-minded people! I have 4 years of experience with TTRPGs, and my partner has only a few months. Neither of us has ever played PF2E but we're eager to learn the new ruleset! Campaign-wise, something with a strong focus on roleplay that still lets us get more acquainted with the ruleset would be ideal.

<Extras>: We're both the type to write long backstories for our characters, and commission art of them whenever possible.

Falcon's Hope [Online] [PF2E] [PAID] [10€/Session] [Foundry VTT] [2/4 players] [Tuesday] [9 PM GMT +1] [LGBTQIA+ friendly] [New Player Friendly]

Crown of the Kobold King is, at heart, an Old School Dungeon Crawling adventure. Here you will find no frills dungeoneering from level 1-6.

Falcons' Hollow is the end of the line for many of its residents. You are one of these residents, are you running away from the law? Looking for a haven from crushing debts? In search of a place to start free from any religious persecution? Then this town of outcasts in the heart of Darkmoon Vale may be just for you.

Crown of the Kobold King will unveil sinister plots happening not too far away from Falcons' Hollow. The ancient monastery of Droskars' Crucible is said to be home of ghosts, monsters and ancient creatures. Will you be up to the task of finding out what lies deep beneath the earth?

I have run this campaign before and I have now homebrewed it to better fit my vision of Falcons' Hollow, the Monastery and ways for characters to add in their personal quest hooks.

My variant rules:

Free Archetype as a quest reward --> Will be given out after important character development scenes and will come naturally from the story.

Gradual Ability Boost

Continual Recovery is a free skill feat to anyone who is trained in medicine

If no supports/healers in play we use Stamina variant rules.

Cheers
Gabe

Looking for an online classic PF1E experience

Availability:

I'm 30 years old and live on the East Coast of the USA so EST time zone. I work 11pm to 7am so I'm looking for a group that can end sessions around 10pm my time at the latest. Anything earlier works too.

Description:

I'm somewhat new to ttrpgs, I'm currently in a irl PF1E campaign where I play a 4th level rogue. I am familiar with how the game and the rules work for the most part including combat and character leveling and building. I would be interested in playing a fighter, cleric or sorcerer of some kind but am open for anything really. I don't have experience with roll 20 but I could probably figure it out easily. I have a good computer with a nice microphone.

Preferences:

I have no overall preference but I would like a mix of combat and story telling/role playing. I'm a laid back person so I can get along with just about anyone.
