One-Shot: Silent Tide - December 17th, 2021

I (Stephen) am going to be running a one-shot on December 17th but first I need a few players - which is where you come in. This will be a first-come, first-serve though our $10 patrons get first dibs. After that, I'll be opening it up to our $5 patrons (7th), a few days later to our $1 patrons (10th), and then it will be open to anyone on our Discord (12th). I have room for 6 players in the one-shot. If you are in one of the lower tiers, feel free to message me beforehand and I'll add you to the waiting list.

Time: Friday, December 17th, 2021 [20211217] 6pm EST to about 10pm EST [11pm UTC to about 3am UTC]

The adventure: We will be playing with Dungeons & Dragons 5e and the society game Silent Tide by Michael Kortes.

When strange reports of misty undead spread through Absalom, you and your fellow Pathfinders are dispatched to the half-drowned district of Puddles. Notoriously rough, the drooling addicts, flesh panderers, and quick-handed knifers of Puddles are the least of your worries. The night's tide brings with it an ancient armada of some long-forgotten war and you are the only thing between their mist-shrouded ghost fleet and Absalom's utter oblivion.

For character generation:

- Characters are made using the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset

- Standard Stat Array or Point Buy

- Level the character up to 3rd level

- Characters are restricted to Player's Handbook, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.

- Magic items can be selected from the Dungeon Master's Guide, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, or Xanathar's Guide to Everything. You can select up to 2 common items and 1 uncommon item.

- Multiclassing and Feats are allowed

- We will be interacting with humanoids.

- No evil characters. Your characters should want to be part of the story and be interested in what happens next. They should be proactive and want to figure things out without being dragged along.

Before the game:

- Send me your character sheet (or I'll send you a pre-gen before the game if you so wish)

- Set up an account on Roll20

- Select a character token/portrait and send it to me so I can set it up on Roll20

Helpful tips:

- Due to time constraints, I'll be pacing combat quickly.

- If you build a character, I can recommend DnDBeyond and the Beyond20 extension.

- Ensure you have a working microphone (phone or computer mic is fine) and working speakers/headphones.

Background: For the background of your character, you are members of the Pathfinder Society in the world of Golarion. The Pathfinder Society is a globe-spanning organization based out of Absalom, the City at the Center of the World. The membership consists primarily of Pathfinders, adventurers who travel throughout Golarion—usually inconspicuously—and explore, delve, and otherwise experience the lesser-seen parts of the world. They send journals documenting their travels back to their venture-captains, who also assigns them new missions and suggests new places to explore. The most exciting and illuminating of these journals are compiled in the Pathfinder Chronicles, an ongoing series of books that collect the history and mystery of Golarion for its membership and the general public.
