About the adventure

Forbidden Lands: Bitter Reach Forbidden Lands is a new take on classic fantasy roleplaying. In this sandbox survival roleplaying game, you’re not heroes sent on missions dictated by others – instead, you are raiders and rogues bent on making your own mark on a cursed world. You will discover lost tombs, fight terrible monsters, wander the wild lands, and if you live long enough, build your own stronghold to defend. Synopsis: In the southern lands, elders speak of cold storms from the north. Cursed voices borne on the icy winds whisper of secrets from ages past that would plunge realms and kin into ruin if only someone could understand these ancient words. They are the desperate confessions of the lost. They are the legends of the Bitter Reach. Deep beneath its frozen surface, creatures told of only in the oldest of legends dwell. They guard treasures that can give their owner power beyond their wildest dreams, treasures that could lay waste to the Bitter Reach if they were found. And the treasures will be found, sooner or later, so why shouldn’t they be yours to claim?

Explains the rules well & patiently, definitely seems to follow the "Rule of Cool", and is obviously into the setting they are introducing us to. New to playing with this GM, but so far, so great!

We had a fantastic session 0 for the Forbidden Lands Raven Purge campaign, where I had a blast, even as a total newcomer to the system! I never felt like I was asking a dumb question, and I am eager to play some more!

As a very new player to pathfinder, I needed a lot of guidance and understanding while I’m learning the ropes. This game master is very accepting of new and inexperienced players.

I hadn't played a table top RPG in about 30 years so I don't have much to compare it to. However he is well read on the campaigns, and great about tailoring them to the characters, and the player's experience with the games.
