Pathfinder AP1 Rise of the Runelords

Pathfinder 1e | Campaign

About the adventure

The first adventure path published by Paizo. I am using the Anniversary edition of the AP. The campaign starts of in the small town of Sandpoint in the region of Varisia. "For five years, the faithful of Sandpoint have attended church in temporary structures erected after fire destroyed the previous temple, and while their new religious leader was helpful, kind, and wise, church wasn't the same. Now, the new cathedral is finally done. All that remains is for the swallowtail festival to renew the site's blessings from the gods and it will be as if the Sandpoint fire had never occured."

I will try and touch on all the main points of being a GM, from my POV. I have been playing weekly with David for over 3 years David is a hard-working, dedicated GM who goes the extra mile to create a good atmosphere. You see it in all the small/big things like the Foundry server, use of music/mood, etc. He knows the rules deeply but doesn't bring his ego into it and when he makes a mistake is candid and frank. While not a trained voice actor, he does a nice job of bringing life to the NPCs and giving them personality. He does not hold that party's hand. He gives the players complete agency. If you succeeded on a knowledge check and found that the critter is immune to fire and two rounds later the wizard wants to cast a fireball, David happily accommodates them. In summation, David is easy going yet earnest and dedicated and creates a great gaming experience.
