New Players Welcome! | Pathfinder 2e - Gatewalkers
Four characters experienced something otherworldly when a mysterious portal opened before them, they saw something and they went through.
About the adventure
Pathfinder: Gatewalkers is an adventure path for four players designed for play between levels 1 and 10. This campaign is episodic and inviting to concepts of nearly any variety with downtime added for roleplay opportunity and character story progression. Players take on the role of four characters who experienced something otherworldly - when a mysterious portal opened before them, they saw something they couldn't resist. A person, an object, a place. Whatever it was that tempted them, they went through six months ago. And they returned three months ago with no memory of what happened, no explanation for their new scars, changed hair, or other unusual change. In addition, they each discovered they had a marking on them, just as every other person who walked through and returned from a gate. This adventure path tells the story of the players working together to uncover the mysteries of their missing moments, to discover more about themselves and their new mutations. Spanning a vast number of places, players explore much of Golarians terrains and locales. Teamwork, instincts, and determination will be needed for these heros to survive what awaits them.

About me
Hi! I'm a long-time DM/GM/Storyteller and Player of TTRPGs in person and online. I got exposed to dice at a young age and really traded my sanity for worldbuilding in high school, more than a decade ago. But what got me to actually sit down and be a dungeon master and take it seriously was being hosted in person by a bunch of veterans who just transitioned to 5e and had room for a Cleric. The campaign was short-lived, the group eventually splintered and transformed and now we game online together. Since being taken in and embraced, being given the opportunity to fail and to succeed and to have fun all the while, I've wanted to share that feeling with others and to inspire others to take up the reins and tell the stories that they want to tell!

Creating your character
Character Creation will happen at Session 0. Pre-written characters can be provided and a custom character can be created on request. Players are not expected to arrive with a fully completed character sheet. Players are suggested to come to Session 0 with a concept or reference from media, and to come to Session 1 with an image reference for use as a token. Player characters will benefit from the Free Archetype optional rules. Character suggestions are found in the Gatewalkers Player's Guide pdf provided by Paizo and available for download from Paizo and the Discord. Characters with Elven or Half-Elf ancestries will be required to be trained in either Deception or Stealth. If a player joins a campaign after Session 0, a new Session 0 will be organized for the benefit of the party and that player's character will join at the same effective rating as the existing player characters.
A free Session 0 will be scheduled once we have enough players. This game is currently scheduled to start and consistently run every Saturday evening, from 10PM to 2AM CST. --- The gate is open - step through it, if you dare. The Gatewalkers spins a tale of paranormal intrigue, supernatural mysteries, and bizarre phenomena. As a player in this campaign, you’ll explore far-flung places, investigate strange goings-on, and meet all manner of outlandish allies and enigmatic enemies. --- This campaign is designed for 4 or 5 players who all start at level 1. We will be using the Free Archetype rules, giving you additional feats to choose from to further customize your character. There is no permadeath without player agreement. This campaign is intended for players of any skill and experience level, including people who have never played Pathfinder 2e before.
