About the adventure
“If he’d just pay me what he’s spending to make me stop robbing him, I’d stop robbing him!” — BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, dir. George Roy Hill (1969) Alkenstar. City of Smog. A bad place to live, and a worse place to die. Even more so when you’re on the lam. Maybe you did what they’re accusing you of. Maybe you didn’t. Maybe you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Doesn’t really matter — you’ve been drawn and quartered in the court of public opinion. More than that, you’ve made an enemy of the city’s most influential people: the billionaire and the sheriff. You’ve made your bed, and if you can’t keep ahead of them, your head will be on a pike faster than you can cry mercy. Just when you thought it was over — back against the wall, no hope from here, you have to live free or die — someone handed you a lifeline. The smooth-talking, gun-slinging barkeep Foebe Dunsmith says she’s got one hell of a bank robbery waiting with your name on it. It’s a way to get rich while getting back at the people who signed your death warrant. You know what they say about “one last job,” right? One heist gone right has got you hankering for more. Bigger. Now your sights are set on Alkenstar’s great new hope. It’s called pyronite, and it makes quite a bang… no pun intended. Once this explosive chunk of rock hits the open market, it’s going to change the world. Let’s just hope it’s for the better. For everyone’s sake. 🐎 A high-octane, whiskey-soaked western outlaw romp! 🔧 Premium Foundry module published by Paizo 🗺️ High-resolution art, battlemaps, tokens, and animations 🎭 Professional theatrical storytelling and a dedication to detail 🎶 Immersive audio, from the crack of lead to honky-tonk piano 🖥️ All official game resources and technology to get your revenge ⚔️ Beginner-friendly while still engaging more experienced pathfinders 🏳️🌈 Inclusive environment for all identities, in and out of game 🛎️ Weekly office hours for questions, concerns, and casual banter Outlaws of Alkenstar is a steampunk western Adventure Path for Pathfinder Second Edition. Player characters will advance from Level 1 to Level 10 as they scour mutant-filled wastelands, pull off daring high-rise heists, and foil countless rough-and-tumble rivals in a quest to clear their names. Inspired by works like BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, the RED DEAD REDEMPTION franchise, and BIOSHOCK INFINITE, grab your six-shooter and show these punks what you’re packing!

About me
My name's MJ (she/her), and I'm everything your parents warned you about: a horror writer, a punk rock guitarist, a Philadelphia sports fan, and a Dungeon Master! My friends have described me as "a German Shepherd cursed to be human," "the universe's favorite chew toy," and "too interesting for my own good."

Safety
How MJ creates a safe table
The content warnings detailed below list items that are likely to appear in the game. This is not a complete list of sensitive content that might arise mid-session. Part of our Session 0 will involve discussing players’ comfort levels with potentially triggering topics, and the game can be altered to minimize or even avoid certain subject matter. Players who join mid-campaign should discuss these topics with the GM during weekly office hours. Certain themes are so central to the text that to remove them from the game would be to destroy the campaign’s fundamental premise. Alkenstar is the guns and explosives capital of Golarion, and your characters will deal with both industries directly. The primary antagonists are corrupt law enforcement and the wealthy, both of whom will stop at nothing to kill you. Finally, the Mana Wastes outside of Alkenstar have a habit of mutating anyone who stays in them too long without the appropriate protections. Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the horrors of the real world, and as a queer woman, I pride myself on making my tables a safe and inclusive environment for all. Above-table prejudices such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia are unacceptable at my table and will lead to your immediate removal from a session without refund, as well as a ban from all present and future tables hosted by this GM.
