Fight for your lives! | Isekai Fists of The Ruby Phoenix
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Why did it have to be Truck-Kun? You could have died in your bed happy and old. Nope. Wham! Thud! Asphalt! Pain! Afterlife! And if that weren't bad enough, instead of going to heaven, you came π₯hereπ₯. At this point, you might even be willing to settle for the flames of hell. It would probably be better than waiting in line at the Cosmic DMV. After an eternity in one line, of course you're told you're in the wrong line. You need the Clerical Errors and Cosmic Consequences line on the 666th floor. Elevator's out, sorry not sorry. Here's the paperwork you'll need to fill out in triplicate. Of course, it's the size of Sisyphus's boulder. Three eternities later, you're finally brought into a small office with a group of others. You're told that the Truck-Kun that got you all is a rogue agent of someone named Murrygin, and that due to its cutting your lives short, you have no license to go to the afterlife. You can apply an appeal of course, but the cases are pretty backed up as this is a particularly nasty and active Truck-Kun. You have two other choices. You can apply and go through the recruiting process to see if you can work at the CDMV, or you can fight for the right to live in another world. π₯ π₯ π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ The time has come again for the Ruby Phoenix Tournament! The sorcerer Hao Jin has invited only the strongest martial artists, adventurers, and fortune seekers to her world-famous fighting competition. The motley roster of contenders must compete for this decade's champion title and the choice of one of the Ruby Phoenix's grand treasures. Who will come out on top, and who will be left in the dust? There's only one way to find out! Battle Royale No Holds Barred Yehaaaa! π₯ π₯ π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ Despair on Danger Island Ready? Fight! King of the Mountain π₯ π₯ π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ The Fists of the Ruby Phoenix Adventure Path is a high octane ride through a fighting tournament with plenty of surprises along the way. Compete in a contest that usually only happens once in a lifetime, against foes whose mettle has been proven across Golarion for the greatest prize of all: a relic that will allow you to keep your new lives and avoid returning to the CDMV. π₯ π₯ π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ This game uses the Isekai genre/concept wherein people from the modern world are reincarnated into other worlds with special powers or skills that make them overpowered compared to the normal people of those worlds. It is on the more serious and less gamest side of Isekai, with real stakes for the PCs and consequences for their actions and choices.

Reckless is a great GM! His price per session is higher than the average I've seen on here, but I have to say that it's been worth the extra few dollars! The amount of work he puts into the homebrew materials he brings, and the array of modules he has access to really makes this a premium service. If you like high-power high-fantasy games look no further! One note, he has a lot going on so if you message him on discord make sure to @him or he probably won't ever see it.
DM-Reckless is one of the best GM's I have worked with. He knows the rules; he knows the foundry, he is a great storyteller, he sets up awesome encounters, he listens wholeheartedly to any feedback, especially with a character background, and weaves it into stories. The custom homebrew content is top-notch, and despite the additional powers you gain, he makes battles feel epic and have tremendous stakes. I will certainly be continuing the one campaign I am in with DM-Reckless and will probably sign up for more. Beyond being a DM, Reckless is just an awesome, genuine human being to be around and just a lot of fun. You can stop your search now, and this is the Overpowered Iseakai/Anime DM you have been looking for to take your custom character on the fun interactive journey you have been waiting for!
Reckless is a versatile storyteller who can manageβwith tact and aplombβthe curveballs that we send him. He is very transparent about the game and speaks frankly about his (and his players') expectations. Reckless strives hard to ensure nobody is left out; even when the party is split many different ways, he manages split scenes with a deft hand and keeps the game moving forward. Regardless of who you are or what your experience level is, Reckless will make sure you have a good time.
