Out of the Gravelands - New Horror-Survival Adventure
Pathfinder 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
The nation of Lastwall has fallen, and, with it, humanity's last defense against the undead armies of the Whispering Tyrant. This adventure takes place in the ruins of that heroic realm. Your group represents what little hope remains to the people of Lastwall. The events of this adventure tie in to the greater themes of the "War of Immortals" that is changing the face of Golarion, as the future of two goddesses is about to be decided. If you enjoy high fantasy adventuring, noble crusader archetypes, or computer RPGs like "Wrath of the Righteous" and the "Diablo" series, this might be the right adventure for you. This is a short-term mini-campaign, that begins at 1st level. The setting makes it an ideal opportunity to try out some unique character options from the "Lastwall" source book, as well as the "Book of the Dead". Players new to Pathfinder 2nd Edition should find it a good introduction both to the system and to the world of Golarion. Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
You will enjoy this adventure if you like horror-survival themed adventures like "The Walking Dead" or "The Last of Us". Gathering and organizing other survivors, salvaging and managing resources, and avoiding the hordes of undead that now plague the Gravelands, are the main elements of gameplay. This is also the perfect opportunity to explore some of the unique character options in the "Knights of Lastwall" resource book.

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a headset or good quality microphone to make sure there is no feedback or interference during play. A webcam is recommended but not required. However, players do find that using video tends to improve the experience for everyone involved. Since this is a 1st level adventure, we will create characters together during our first session together. Bring your ideas but leave final decisions for the table.
What I provide
All material required for play (character sheets, dice, maps, visual aids, and more) will be provided electronically through the Foundry Virtual Table Top. This is a survival-horror themed adventure, taking place in the ruins of the nation of Lastwall. The tone is definitely more sombre and urgent than other 1st level adventures. Building relationships with other survivors, and finding ways to maximise the use of your limited resources, are key parts of enjoying the unique aspects of the campaign.
Gameplay details
During our first session together, we will talk through the themes of the campaign, and set our own limits on the content we would like to see included in our campaign using a tool called Lines and Veils. All players have the right to feel safe and respected at the table. Any language or behaviour that makes others feel unwelcome or uncomfortable will not be tolerated. Digital safety tools will be available during the game, and we will create a list of our own Lines and Veils during our first session together.

How will character creation work
The adventure begins at 1st level, and is ideal for new players. Players can choose to use Pathbuilder or create their character right on Foundry, but either way all material required for play is available for free - see the links below. This is the perfect campaign to look into character options from the "Lastwall" supplement, as the player characters are all survivors from that much-suffering nation. For a complete and searchable database of Pathfinder 2nd Edition character options that is always updated, check out: https://2e.aonprd.com/ For a free and comprehensive character builder, you can use: https://pathbuilder2e.com/app.html Pathbuilder character sheets can be easily imported to Foundry Virtual Table Top. Our virtual table top will be hosted on Forge, meaning you will have access to your character sheet between sessions.
