Navaar Seik-Jackson brings Oba Manu to the table. Oba is a dad who wants nothing more than to live the simple life, but is pulled back into adventuring for "one last job."
Navaar and I discuss having a family both at and away from the table, needing to protect your family while avoiding violence - and how scary that can be as a Black father, and power fantasies. Navaar also convinces me to play Pathfinder.
This character is built for Pathfinder 2e by Paizo.
Navaar Seik-Jackson is a narrative game designer, podcaster, and occasional TTRPG performer. Navaar enjoys providing a platform for marginalized people in the TTRPG space to tell their stories and exploring the apocalypse as a setting with nuanced themes. You may have heard of Navaar from the Secret Nerd Podcast, An Unwavering Force podcast, or his game The Corrupted.
