About the adventure
"Thank you all for joining me today. I trust you enjoyed the meal? If not, we can always turn you into zombies. They’re far less picky, right? Very low maintenance. Well, that’s not entirely correct, which I suppose is the reason I’ve gathered you all here..." — Berline Haldoli Welcome to the undead nation of Geb! In this strange land vast legions of zombies toil and do all the hard work, allowing the living (and the most intelligent undead) to lead lives of leisure. At the top of this hierarchy, just below the Ghost-King Geb, are the Blood Lords, the nation's aristocracy. But despite the remarkable rarity of actual life, Geb is not immune to change, and is ripe with mystery. Recently, strange occurrences have plagued a zombie-tended farm. A party of brave and reliable adventurers is needed to unravel these mysteries. The reward? A chance to climb the lively (pun intended) aristocratic ladder of the Blood Lords! Join us for an adventure filled with intrigue, danger, and the undead. Your actions could shape the future of Geb and secure your place among its elite.

Gameplay details

Geb is a unique setting where powerful undead and necromancers command zombie (and sometimes living) slaves, considering themselves superior to living beings and lesser undead.

How will character creation work
I will give a link to the Player Guide for the Blood Lords Adventure Path. You should really read this before starting to create your character! You will need to create a Level 1 character for the Remaster rules of Pathfinder Second Edition. You will be able to do so directly on Foundry, but you can also use external tools like Demiplane or Pathbuilder! I'm always available via Discord to help, but in case you want to have a go at it in on your own please only use common or uncommon traits from basic rules, or related to the adventure itself! We will review and finalize everyone's characters during Session 0.
