Menace Under Otari & Beyond: A Beginner’s Pathfinder Adventure

Pathfinder 2e | Campaign

About the adventure

Welcome to Otari: a quiet coastal town where sea breezes blow, fishmongers haggle in the market, and ancient secrets lie just below the surface. When strange lights appear in the forests and local wildlife vanishes without a trace, it's clear something old and dangerous has begun to stir. Menace Under Otari is a beginner-friendly Pathfinder 2e adventure designed for players brand-new to Pathfinder or tabletop RPGs, this game teaches the rules through action. You’ll create a heroic character, explore mysterious caves, confront monsters, and uncover the truth behind the menace threatening your town. This is a game focused on fun, creativity, and camaraderie. Whether you're casting your first spell or slashing through your first goblin, you'll be guided step-by-step through the mechanics and the story. Roleplaying is encouraged but not required, you can lean into your character as much as you like. If you're curious about Pathfinder or want a safe, welcoming space to learn the game, this is the perfect place to start. Grab your dice, bring your curiosity, and step into a world of heroic adventure! My intention with the starter set is to use it as an "xp to 3" book to bring us into another adventure!
