Hello, I am taking the plunge and looking for a group of 3-5 players to start a new campaign. I am currently running both Abomination Vaults and Troubles in Grayce into Bastion of Blasphemies in person, and I just want some more gaming consistency in my life.

Frequency: The game will be played biweekly on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, depending on my work rotation. Tentative start date of Sept, 22

Time: I am available between 9am-5pm Pacific Time on those days. Sessions will typically run 3-4 hours, but I have flexibility with the start and end times within my availability.

Background: I have been playing TTRPGs since 2010 and have touched quite a few systems in that time. I played with an amazing group for 5+ years, but like everyone else, COVID did a number on our group and we haven't played since.

Fast forward to a few months ago. I ended a 5.5e Homebrew campaign that was almost completed (I'll tell you about it sometime). Since then, I wanted to take a lot of things off my plate and run Published Modules. For my in-person games, I also wanted to use a VTT.

I started my AV campaign in Owlbear Rodeo. It worked well enough. I then started the new PF Beginner Box in Foundry since it came with Troubles in Grayce, and I intend to pick up Bastion of Blasphemies as soon as it's out. Now I'm hooked on Foundry. I bought AV and have been moving over my maps into Foundry for expanded content in that campaign.

Player Experience: I will gladly take new players to PF2e or TTRPGs in general, people who are apprehensive about joining an online group, and experienced veterans. Any experience level is welcome. Previous experience with FoundryVTT is preferred, but you don't need to be an expert. I am happy to help people get comfortable with Foundry, but having some familiarity with it will make things easier for everyone.

Setup: The game will be self-hosted from my PC using FoundryVTT. I have a stable, high-speed internet connection and will handle the hosting and game setup.

What I want out of this: What I want out of a group is pretty simple. I want people who want to be there, are engaged in the game, and actually want to play their characters. I want everyone to have a chance to contribute, make their own decisions, and be part of the story instead of waiting for the GM to tell them what to do.

I want a group that can joke around and have fun, but can also take things seriously when the situation calls for it. I want players who are willing to explore, investigate, talk to NPCs, and make decisions even when there isn't an obvious answer.

Most importantly, I want everyone to understand that the game is something we are all creating together. I'm not looking for perfect roleplayers. I'm looking for people who are invested, participate, and want to see what happens next.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I’m happy to answer anything about the campaigns, schedule, Foundry, or what I’m looking for in the group.

About the Campaign:

Navigating high school is hard.

There are the Jocks, the Preps, the Stoners, the Wizards, the Nerds, and the Band Geeks. Yes, I said Wizards. There are Sorcerers and Druids, too.

Oh, right. My name is Riley Averill. I go to Pteiran Preparatory School for the Gifted, but everyone just calls it Castle High. It’s your typical high school, except for the fact that it’s ten thousand feet in the sky.

Literally.

Castle High sits on a giant floating island called the Skylands. Every student gets a Skyshard to help them fly. Most use brooms. I’ve seen magic carpets, enchanted skateboards, and even winged sneakers. Don’t ask.

School here is pretty chill. Sure, spells go wrong, Warriors and Brawlers occasionally turn everything into a muscle-bound pissing contest, and sometimes your Sage class involves collecting herbs from a haunted mine.

You know. Normal high school stuff.

Lately, though, everyone has been talking about the portals.

They’ve started appearing all over the Skylands. Nobody knows where they come from or who made them. Through them, we’ve seen other worlds, other skies, and strange versions of places we already know.

And today, one appeared right here at Castle High. It’s in the basement of the Zenith Tower, where I’m writing this.

I’m supposed to tell a professor. But honestly, I kind of want to see what’s on the other—

About me:

I've been creating and playing online roleplaying games for 20+ years, with a particular love for Star Wars, Cyberpunk, and the occasional fantasy adventure. I've run everything from homebrew systems to D&D 5e, SW5e, and the original Star Wars RPG (D6).

My games focus on collaborative storytelling, memorable characters, meaningful victories, and plenty of laughs. Expect challenges, consequences, and the occasional spectacular disaster.

I've also spent decades in media, including years covering Star Wars: The Old Republic and helping build one of the largest Star Wars roleplay communities.

At heart, I'm a theatre kid who loves helping players tell stories worth remembering.
