Wield the Strength of Thousands!
Become a student at the Magaambya, an ancient and esteemed magical academy in an African culture-inspired setting!
About the adventure
Wield the Strength of Thousands in this unique, wholesome Adventure Path set in the Maagambya, a magic college in the Africanesque Mwangi Expanse. Become a student and learn, research, and solve the many problems of the academy. Unlike most most adventures, Strength of Thousands will not last weeks or months, but years - or perhaps decades! You will be able to see your character grow and roleplay their rise as a person, adventurer, and a scholar from a layman to an established, renowned professor of Applied Astral Mathematics. There are also lots of insects buzzing around. This campaign leads from level 1 to level 20.

Knows the Rules
Teacher
Inclusive
Edwin is a master of his craft. Incredibly knowledgeable of the Pathfinder 2E system and use of foundry VTT. He keeps flow of play going near seamlessly passing fair judgement that does not slow things down and keeps things fun for all involved. Whether you are new or an experienced player, Edwin offers everything you could want in a GM.
Edwin focuses on keeping the games fun and combats flowing. He knows the rules and doesn't sandbag players, but is also fair about applying logic and allowing common sense solutions as well as allowing house rules to foster player creativity, such as altering spells or class feats slightly to better fit character themes.
Never having really used StartPlaying to join a game before, I went out on a limb to try out for one of Edwin's games based on his glowing reviews, and I'm very glad I did. Edwin is a very well prepared GM, with fantastic maps and sets for various encounters, along with populating those maps with interesting NPCs to make them seem very real in the moment as you go from place to place. Add on top of this fun music, an enthusiasm for interesting character interactions and fantastic voices (I can personally attest that Edwin has a fantastic spooky hag voice), and a general love for using fun effects in Foundry, and you have an all around great GM. Definitely recommend anyone who can should give his games a try!

How Edwin (Eater of Heroes) creates a safe table
This is easily the most wholesome of all published Adventure Paths, but still - violence, dark magic and nefarious deeds abound. We will discuss any individual preferences and topics to avoid.
