About the adventure
Howdy! Welcome, to a western themed level 1~10 introduction to Pathfinder 2E, with an extremely experienced GM.

This adventure takes you on a quest for revenge against the person who framed you for a crime you didn’t commit. To clear your name you will have to stick up an illicit bank, foil a crooked sheriff, escort a reclusive inventor to safety, and, in the end, perhaps save the whole damn city! Players can expect: 🧨 A fantastic, flavorful level 1~11 introduction to Pathfinder 2E 🧨 A revenge fueled, western themed, steam-punk campaign 🧨 An extremely experience GM, who loves to teach new players 🧨 Personalized story arcs which will tie into the main story of this campaign. 🧨 Official Foundry module with high quality maps, art, and tokens Read more here: https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/adventures/adventurePath/outlawsOfAlkenstar
Game style
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Josh is an amazing GM. I am especially impressed with the way he handled role play. His NPC-work is honestly incredible. Would highly recommend

Josh is a fantastic DM! He integrates player character and backstory into the game extremely well, and brought my character backstory to life beautifully. He creates space for great RP and fun interaction between players. He also has a great sense of humour (and character voices to go with it!). His games move well between goofy hijinks, satisfying combat and compelling drama. He's also really kind, helpful and accommodating, as well as super knowledgeable about Pathfinder and Foundry.
Andrew Goldbao
I was completely new to Pathfinder 2e before starting a game with Josh and he helped a ton with teaching me the game without overwhelming me. In addition, his voicing of NPCs and monsters has been top notch.

Josh’s games are always engaging and well prepared. He has fun with his NPCs and makes you want to get into your roleplay.
Simon Hulse
Played many games with Josh IRL and he’s great. Go give his games a try!
