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. Maybe you did what they accused you of, maybe you didn’t. All that really matters is the court of public opinion, and you done managed to piss off two of the most influential people in town: the billionaire and the lawman. Now you have to stay ahead of both of them, or your head will be on a pike faster than you can claim innocence. Just when you thought it was over, that you’d 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 lined up. It’s a way to get rich and get back at the people who sealed your fate. You know what they say about “one last job” though, right? One heist gone right has got you hankering for more, and you’ve got your sights on Alkenstar’s great new hope. They call it pyronite — a mineral that makes quite a bang (no pun intended). Once this explosive hunk of rock hits the open market, it’s going to change the world. For everyone’s sake, let’s hope it does so for the better. 🐎 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 comedic timing 🎶 Immersive audio, from the crack of lead to honkey-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 11 as outlaw mercenaries with a dire grudge, whose quest for vengeance might just stop their home from utter catastrophe.

MJ weaves a beautiful story and she is a delightful Gamekeeper. The story is very well paced and I can’t wait to see where the game takes us next.

Had a great experience, incredibly fun storyteller that does a great job of ensuring all the players were engaged with the story and the moment. She had great pacing and it felt like we had done so much in our available time.

Playing a game with MJ feels like you're at a home game; you're really at the table, surrounded by friends. Catching up on life, sharing stories, and laughing together are all part of the experience!

MJ is a fantastic DM! She is vary descriptive and brings you right into your characters shoes. I would highly recommend anyone check out her games.

MJ is the type of person that seems to have lived a thousand lives and she always has funny anecdotes to share with the table. Joining a campaign with people I didn't know was extremely intimidating at first but she made it so welcoming that now I just wish this campaign would go on forever (and it just might since every single player at the table is going for side quests). MJ has the best end-of-session cliffhangers and really takes time to adapt your character's story to the campaign. Thanks for a great time, and I can't wait to continue playing :)

Come for the TTRPG, stay for the Life Stories of MJ. MJ is one of my favorite DMs. I've played in one of her Saturday games for the last year, and I've had a blast the entire time.

Gameplay details
The content warnings detailed here list items that are likely to appear in the game. This is not a complete list of sensitive content that might arise in-session. Part of our Session 0 will involve discussing players’ comfort levels with potentially triggering subjects, and the game can be altered to minimize or avoid certain elements. 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 fundamentally alter the campaign. Alkenstar is the firearm capital of Golarion, and most characters will be armed with guns. The primary antagonists are a venture capitalist and a corrupt sheriff whose plots involve kidnapping and terrorism. Lesser enemies may have had their bodies mutated by a magical wasteland. Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the horrors of the real world. Above-table prejudices such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia are unacceptable at my table and will lead to your immediate removal without refund, as well as a ban from all future tables hosted by this GM.
