The Abomination Vaults (Expanded) | Join at 10th, play to 16th
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
This campaign is organized around three adventure paths: Menace Under Otari, Troubles Under Otari, and a modified and remastered Abomination Vaults. This is an intense dungeon crawl series. It's great for new players to learn PF2E tactics and engage in some light role-playing. This modified campaign plays through 16th level! First, you head into the Otari Fishery to confront whatever is eating the fish. The Menace Under Otari Adventure is a beautiful adventure designed to teach players the Pathfinder 2nd Edition/Remastered system. This adventure will take two to three sessions. You will then assist the citizens of Otari in the Trouble in Otari Adventure from 2nd level through 5th level. At 6th level, you will head into the mysterious lighthouse called Gauntlight. The abandoned lighthouse glows with a baleful light, and the people of Otari suspect it’s an ominous prelude to sinister events. Heroes must explore the ruins around the lighthouse and delve into the dungeon levels below. Hideous monsters, deadly traps, and vengeful ghosts await the heroes who dare to enter the sprawling mega-dungeon called the Abomination Vaults! Menace Under Otari Authors: Jason Buhlman Abomination Vaults Authors: James Jacobs, Vanessa Hoskins, Stephen Radney-MacFarland Troubles in Otari Authors: Jason Keeley, Lyz Liddell, and Ron Lundeen
This campaign starts with the Menace Under Otari (Beginner Box, level 1), moves into Troubles in Otari (2nd to 5th), and then launches into a modified Abomination Vaults (6th to 17th level). This is a great campaign to challenge your character with intense dungeon crawl combat and some light role-playing. Campaign details: Free Archetype Gradual Ability Boost Milestone Advancement

Currently in a Kingmaker campaign with Tom. Best GM I've had in my 20 years of playing TRPGs. I look forward to the session all week!

This was my first time playing in a Pathfinder game and Thomas has been very helpful in teaching me the system and how to create/level my character. His games are fair and a lot of fun. He's able to strike a good balance between giving everyone time to mess around and making sure we still interact with the plot.

Thomas is very knowledgeable of the rules. Not only that, but he can read a persons character to find out what they want to do. Like, he knew I wanted a warmage, as we all know Wizards, Sorcerers, Witches and Maguses all have arcane spells. He gave me ideas as to what class to pick and ideas of spells to pick and how to be an affective warmage of whatever class I want. He does use some good enemy tactics too.

Tom was an incredible GM for the Abomination Vaults adventure. He brought the story to life with detailed preparation, memorable NPCs and encounters, and a wonderfully paced mix of challenge and discovery. Throughout the sessions, Tom fostered a welcoming, inclusive table where everyone’s voice and choices mattered. If you’re looking for an immersive, engaging experience, I highly recommend playing at Tom’s table.

Thomas is very good at the rules, and at running the games. Making sure it runs on time and smoothly. Keeping it organized, and providing an immersive experience for each of the players. But more than that, Thomas is a good person. I've played for years, with players of all varieties and all backgrounds. Thomas makes you feel like a friend, like someone who is happy to see you, and who is glad to share his time and energy with you. During a recent time of trouble for me, Tom reached out and made sure I knew I had a safe space, that I was welcome, and that someone cared. We would all be lucky to have someone like Thomas, and you'll be lucky if you spend some time at one of his tables. Highest possible recommendation.
