🌌 The Nightlands ❄️ 1-20 High Fantasy 🔮 Shape the World 👑
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
❄️Welcome to the Nightlands!❄️ In an age long ago, Grehta, the Calamity, a white dragon of unparalleled might, encased your world in Frost. Gathering all the chromatic flights under her command, her breath rolled North like a frigid wave, her scaled army scattering the common races deep underground, and beyond the northern mountains. In the final hours of a terrible, long war thereafter, an inquest of heroes led by the elven champion Astaria battled Grehta in her frozen crucible and drove her spear, Dawnbreaker, into the heart of Calamity, sacrificing herself to end the frigid terror. Now, hundreds of years later, YOU and your companions emerge in the thawing frontier. The worlds nations squabble over borders, and adventurers delve into ruins long forgotten in search of technological and magical marvels. Regions become temperate, and some even enjoy sweltering heat in the summer months. But whispers of dragons soaring the skies once more send shivers down the spines of even the wisest of elders. As the southern frost begins to show signs of spreading once again, and as tales of winged terrors grows, will you rise to avert another cataclysm? Plunder ruins from ages long past for storied treasures? Will you gather nations to your cause and forge an empire to withstand the looming tempest? The choice is YOURS. Fate beckons as the dawn breaks on a new age - and YOU and your friends must answer. * * * * * * * * * * * 🔮 Major Campaign Themes: Destiny, Fate, and the consequences of knowing it. ⚔️ Using my extensive experience as a GM and as a Foundry VTT host, I will take you through an unforgettable custom-built adventure in a system designed from the ground up for just that purpose. In an environment and story built for you and your party, you will get to take chances, make mistakes, and push open the sides of the sandbox. This will be a highly responsive campaign where you get to paint the canvas in your own color. 🎲 This game will be run using professionally prepared maps and content in Foundry VTT. In addition, I am the proud creator of custom battlemaps which may be included in the game when appropriate, making sure that your experience with the game will be unlike anyone else's. 👑 Using community-awarded content from amazing creators such as Team+, enjoy an expanded array of exciting options for Archetypes, as well as revamped and expanded options for the Barbarian, Oracle, Witch, Magus, and Cleric, all built into Foundry and Pathbuilder. 📖 With Stars and Wishes, YOU get to decide who the heroes of your team are. Award hero points to your allies, and enjoy a custom adventure journal that details your journey! 🐱 Life is hard; Playing roleplaying games shouldn't be. Your time is precious, and will be respected - I pride myself on giving everyone the attention and spotlight they deserve, and giving you an experience that leaves you hyped for the next game, and great times to share with your friends. Now it's YOUR turn to roll.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
New Campaign in a custom world! Weekly game! Characters are at **level 3!** Current Party Makeup: ⚔️ Summoner, Witch and Cleric ⭐ Free Archetype ⭐ Stars and Wishes to hand hero points to fellow players ⭐ Team+ material for extra character and archetype options

Fun to have as a GM. Willing to assist in creating backstories to fit the adventure and creates enjoyable scenarios that help each Player Character show off.

Certainly a great GM! Very thorough through character creation, from enemies lore & skills to basically any skill information, and creates a very positive environment with all the players - with new and old experience - so that everyone has what they need prior to the next gaming session. Ambitosis also has the great patience to add new scenarios, and not just for if your character falls in battle and to create a new one, but if the group ever tries to do something different!

Ambitosis is a great GM, who ran a wonderful opening segment to Fists of the Ruby Phoenix, and I was disappointed I could not play the rest of it.

Been playing in his homebrew campaign since session 0 and 40+ sessions later I still haven't left. He is amazing world builder with his custom maps and sets the tone beautifully with soundscape and narration. Each session is just so much fun and you just can't wait till you get to play next session. Highly recommended for new/veterans and excellent for those who enjoy a GM for roleplay as well. Trust me, this guy is just outta this world good!

I've died twice and I'm still having fun! Ambi is a good GM. His Morlock voice is particularly hilarious. You should definitely try his games. He also does cool landing page artwork and incorporates your characters into it, has great supplemental sound and music, and changes up the adventures a bit to make the less creative parts from Paizo a little more interesting.

How to prepare
Bring a friendly attitude and a spirit of adventure! For those who are new to Pathfinder and have experience with D&D, welcome! This campaign is a great opportunity to learn the ropes of the system and get involved in some iconic battles against a fresh palette of creatures from high fantasy and beyond. I only request that you must have a working mic, and if you wish to have voice activation on, that you don't have excessive background noise or are willing to switch to push-to-talk if it becomes an issue. Players will create their characters together before or during session 0 to create a strong group dynamic and immersive character goals/plots. I use FoundryVTT and Discord as my methods for Roleplaying, though no experience is needed with Foundry to start - all you need is a bit of patience to learn, and we will teach. A Discord account is required. Besides that, no software is needed! Some recommended tools to assist in character creation would be Pathbuilder (free), and learning basic familiarity with the Foundry VTT tool controls is an asset, but not required. I love creating stories that I can share with my own friends, and I know you will too - this adventure path is sure to bring lots of memorable moments of brevity, levity, close calls, nail biting victories and heart-wrenching defeats.
What I provide
Besides everything you'd expect from a virtual TTRPG module professionally prepared, you'll have access to a living adventure journal that details how you and your teammates have done in the campaign so far. Very useful for sharing stories with friends, looking up notes for things the group may have forgotten, or even just for having a good laugh about the good times and the bad. I also have a lot of purchased virtual content that I like to use - premium maps that I have made myself or have subscribed to, and my adventures are never limited to what's written in the campaign books. Any maps that you would like to have access to for your own uses can be 'brought home', and a copy will be provided on request, as long as that map was 'fully explored' in-game.
Gameplay details
Lines and veils document will be provided and followed. I like to have a session 0 where we lay all our expectations out on the table and make sure everyone's up for what's involved in the adventure, and usually this only takes 30 minutes or so. I have no problem changing the content of the adventure path to better suit people's comfort levels, as long as I'm told about it. If there are new players to Foundry and/or Pathfinder 2e, I ask for some patience as we spend a bit of time on Session 0/1 getting them familiar with the tools. At the end of each session, we do the Stars half of Stars & Wishes (it's just a formal way of going around and awarding fellow players for things we enjoyed in the session), and you're given until the next session to think of a wish (something you'd like brought into the campaign).

How will character creation work
Characters begin at level 1. As it's a custom campaign, we will collaboratively work together on character options that fit the theme of the campaign best. You're free to make anything you like within reason, of course - and if you're newer to the game, I will help you with any questions you have. We can do character creation together, letting the more experienced members of the group help the newer ones. It's not a particularly long process, and I'm open to people changing some aspects of their character early on in the campaign.
