At the start of each session, every player rolls a d20 to determine who writes the summary. The player who wrote the previous summary rolls with Fortune. A player who did not write their summary before the session rolls with Misfortune.
The sessions will run [...] from [...] to [...].

We will be using the 2024 Remastered rules for Pathfinder 2e.
Legacy content is allowed as shown in the LegendKeeper. Legacy items are also allowed.
Please message me before using any other legacy content.
We will be using the Free Archetype optional rule.
Please check the usage of non-common items, spells, feats etc. with the GM first.
Lines and veils are used to set boundaries on content in a game. Lines are hard limits on content, things that the game master or the players don’t want to engage in. Setting up a line means that content won’t show up in the game at all. Veils are soft limits, things that are ok “behind a curtain” or when they “cut-to-black.” Setting up a veil means that the content might be in the game but not spotlighted or described in great detail.
