About the adventure
In the sleepy coastal town of Sandpoint, evil is brewing. An attack by crazed goblins during the annual Swallowtail Festival quickly turns into something more ominous as the shadows of a dark past come back to haunt the town—and perhaps all of Varisia. Can the heroes stop the awakening of a legendary runelord and keep him from reclaiming his lost kingdom of greed? Hello! My name is Travis, and I want to run this legendary adventure for the second time! This game has horror-lite elements to it, which means horrific things happen, but it is not the theme of the campaign. You will notice there are a lot of tags for content warnings because of these elements that play out through the six adventures of the adventure path. They do not occur all at once, and but they come up over the course of the campaign. We begin our first session during the Swallowtail Festival in Varisia. PF2 now calls these places the Saga Lands if you have your Core Rulebook handy! Here, the wild is untamed, and the region has been built on the skeleton of an ancient civilization called Thassilon. Today in Golarion, the nation has reprised itself, but, this story takes place in 4707 AR, eleven years before New Thassilon was founded. This campaign begins the tale of their reawakening, and stopping the most selfish of the Runelords. The Tyrant of Greed.

About me
Hey! I am Travis, and I love running Pathfinder Second Edition! I don't know if experience matters, but it does to some, so, here goes. I've been playing Fall of 07', and have been GMing since Spring of 12'. I started with crunchy games, like Pathfinder 1e, D&D 3.5v, and GURPS. As time has gone on, my style appreciated complex within, but simple to play systems, like 5e and PF2. I grew up playing with three grognards, and much of my style is built on their creative bones. I am a new school DM with an old school flair!

Creating your character
Build a character on Pathbuilder, once we have enough players, we can use the Pathmuncher Foundry Module to transfer your character over into Foundry. We will be using the Free Archetype alternative rule, which just means you'll get a feat for a dedication every other level, but we'll take care of that when we get to that point.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will be using both my microphone and my webcam. However, all that is required for my players to play is a Discord account and a microphone to to speak through. Foundry does not require an account to use except for the one with the license (like myself), I just send you my address, and you will be able to link into my game. Easy peezy.
What Travis brings to the table
I have downloaded the Rise of the Runelords (PF2) conversion, as well as searched the web for maps that look decent for everyone to play on. I have also read through and played through Rise of the Runelords before when I converted it into Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. Therefore, the story is still familiar to me, and I ma excited to run it again for a host of new players!

Safety
How Travis creates a safe table
Everything related to safety tools for a more mature game, such as this one, can be discussed without judgement in the Discord. Not everyone is comfortable saying what they feel out loud. Despite the tags I have placed on the game for content warnings, all of those tags are elements, and not necessarily highlights or moments which exist throughout the campaign, but only for some of it here and there.
